The boys did an art project this week. They liked it so much we did it three separate days. We took a roll of paper towels. Then we took some cups and filled them with water and food coloring. Then we tore off one paper towel. Folded it to a smaller size and dipped the corner of the paper towel in the water and then opened it and let it dry. It was really fun and not too much of a mess. They liked to see all the tie dyed towels and it entertained them for about half an hour. It would have been longer but I didn’t want to go through an entire roll of towels.
One of the videos is of Ben and he is showing Emily her book and asking her questions like “what do you see in the picture?” It is so cute to see them interact. He really likes to protect her.
In another video Joey is dancing to Umizoomi.
I watched my friend’s Melissa’s little girl one day this week and she is so cute. She really gets along great with the boys. Emily followed her all over the place. It was too cute.
I had class on Thursday night and I was in charge of leading the discussion for about 27 students. It ended up being horrible for me. I came home very discouraged and never wanting to teach again. The class is usually supposed to last anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. I think we lasted 25 minutes. I didn’t get any response from the students. The people that I was relying on to carry the discussion were quiet. I would like to think it was because they were filling their mouth full of my yummy cookies I was bribing them with. I was leading the discussion on goals. I told them about my goal of getting food storage and couponing which inspired me to start a section of a couponing blog. I have gotten a lot of awesome deals in two weeks. I hope you will check out my couponing portion of the blog.
Friday I went out to do more couponing and it is amazing how some checkers (the majority) are nice and will help you out with couponing and others will do everything they can to thwart any effort being made. If I hadn’t read the krazy coupon lady’s book, I think I would have let her push me around and would have sworn off coupons. But I realized it is something that I could handle and I did. I was really proud of myself. I didn’t post it but I got a year’s supply of tampons for $10.21. These were the platex brand too.
Emily’s coat broke and most of the stores have put up their stock. So my mom was awesome and sent Emily a beautiful coat. Every place we stopped she got a compliment. Also while I was out shopping I stopped off at the bank and got succors. So when we got home Emily had her first succor. She wasn’t sure what to think about it.
Three of the videos are from last week except I couldn’t get them to post, so they are on this week’s blog.
