We literally have had ants in the kitchen wondering around, a mouse in the house and a snake that came out of the oxygen concentrator. Yup, its been interesting here. We typically get ants that try coming in this time of year but we have never had a snake or mice in the house before... apparently since we have lived here for 6 years now they think we are settled enough for them to visit.
Homeschooling has been going really well. Jillian is doing a great job. I am writing our curriculum this year but I am also using 180 math, science, reading, language arts. and writing mixed in and Jillian is really loving that. I love the 180 writing best. We have also stuck with our goal of Jillian reading a new book each day.
Lydia's tube site still has been very stressful and it has taken several trips to the doctor and still no real solution. It is painful for her and frustrating for me. It is also really effecting her sleep and she is struggling to fall asleep even with meds and is up multiple times a night. I believe Brent and I are just walking around asleep at this point but we keep chugging.
On a trip to the doctor last week a truck sent something flying at the van. I could not see anything at first but Saturday morning we noticed a crack and then it grew. We had someone come to the house today to replace it and just as they finished the new windshild cracked. They are coming back next week to fix it.
We had a great time last weekend at the Special Needs picnic. It is nice to see friends and catch up. Jillian loved getting her face painted. The purple paint doesn't want to come off lol
Jillian and I also played with her Osmo yesterday. It is something that goes with the iPad and teaches multiple different skills. When Toys R Us was going out they had them on clearance so we were able to get multiple of the sets. Jilli got the base set last year for Christmas but she was really excited for the additional sets. I am really impressed by the Pizza set. It works on counting, patterning, budgets, and making change. It teaches so many life skills! I highly recommend the Osmo sets if you have an iPad.
The Run/Walk for Children's Hospital is TOMORROW!!!! We are a bit short of our goal this year however we are SO SO SO thankful for everyone who has donated. We are so thankful for everyone who has signed up to walk with us tomorrow. Jilli is SO excited! If you still would like to give there still is time. CLICK HERE to donate.
