Sunny Days!

We are enjoying wonderful sun-filled days this week, at least until it snows this weekend. I was able to take Aria to the park and out for ice cream. It is amazing what a little sunshine can do to brighten your outlook on the world.

Things are going well with school and everything is starting to make sense and come to me easily. I did not pass my 60 wpm speed test, but my accuracy is improving. I believe I did really well on our vocabulary test this week in Theory.

English, UGH! We have a group project that I am NOT looking forward to. We have to do a power point presentation about the changing meaning of words since the World War II era. It may not be so bad, however, the due date is the week of Amelie, and Kyle's birthdays as well as St. Patrick's day.

Bowling with Snowmen

Yesterday we celebrated Aria's 3rd birthday with a bowling party followed by a pizza. We all had a great time. Aria loves snowmen, so after I finished shoveling our icy walks, I made her one in the front yard. Daddy added his special touch, and the picture here is the result.

We are half way through our quarter. School is going by so quickly. I cannot even imagine how much faster the time will fly when I am speed building next quarter.

Looking forward to the tax fairy to pay off some debt and maybe put a little aside for once. Well, after we take care of a few things... Like our neglected vehicles.

Iced In

Well, we don't have a lot of snow, but things are pretty icy as it is only 4 degrees out! School was closed today. It is a day of indoor fun for me and the girls. I made French Toast for the first time today and it came out wonderful. I actually impressed myself with my cooking, which is not something that happens often.
I got my quiz back yesterday and received a 100 percent! That's right, I aced it. Strange to me because I have been struggling so much this quarter. I also passed my 40 and fifty speed tests in the last two weeks. I also attempted to practice at church on Sunday. My pastor speaks at approximately 180-200 wpm, so I got about every third word. Still, practice is good.
English is what it is. I really am not putting too much effort in since we are still working on identifying the different parts in a sentence. Noun, subject, verb, etc. Didn't we do this in 3rd grade?
Looking forward to Aria's birthday next weekend. We are going bowling!
