Mother’s Day 2011

Mother's Day 2011

We had a very busy, but fun weekend! In our usual tradition we went to PF Changs on Friday night. It’s a great way to avoid the Mother’s Day crowds and have a meal in peace. I got my favorite entree there – Shrimp and Candied Walnuts with honeydew melon. YUM!

Saturday we headed to the homeschool bookfair. We had an idea of what we wanted to buy for Nadia’s next level, but it’s always good to see it in person. We went in the morning and checked everything out, took the girls home for a nap and then returned to buy the things we wanted. That night my brain was exhausted, but I was happy with our choices. Instead of doing a complete curriculum we decided to piece stuff together. So we got a math, phonics/spelling and art. Then I got a bunch of biographies about missionaries and other historical figures. I will read all of those first and then read them to Nadia.

The most fun for Nadia right now are all the “color by number” and “color by letter” workbooks I found for her. She LOVES these and it’s been hard to find entire books of them.

An exciting gift was waiting for me when we came home to give the girls a nap – A Kindle with a red case! WOOT!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to read and totally loved being shocked by Mike.

Sunday we got up and headed for church. Then we hit Costco like we always do and went to Pei Wei for lunch. We didn’t plan it that way, but it’s just what happened. Tasty food all around!
