The first week back after a break is always busy and this past week was no exception.We found out that one of our very good French Immersion Science teacheers is leaving to go to another school board to be nearer her children. Good move for her, not for us ! Were madly trying to work out and test a child who does not belong in the program but the mother cannot see that. It has been my job to do these tests before this coming Tuesday. As well, in Math, trying to get through to those stubborn students who can not see the value of working each step in math problems. Oh if they'd only trust us that we actually know what is coming ahead and it is absolutely necessary . I had a couple of confrontations one of which did not go well at all.
We had the two oldest grandchildren on Tuesday, and then the oldest again on Wednesday. EGS had swimming both days. Since he has noved up to Bronze he had two hours of practice. GD had cheer practice on the Wednesday. YGS has been over everyday to go in the hot tub.
Hubby emptied the hot tub Friday night and this tine he used the wet/dry vacuum to emty the last bits. We made sure to use the water to water all the flower beds that we could. It was filled Saturday morning and able for use by 6 pm ! There are always bathing suits in my house.
I made a ham and lentil soup which every one enjoyed YGS hadn't eaten much on Friday and when he was at this other grandmother's he asked to come home. He wanted more Liam / Dady time. We found out he ha eaten cotton candy and fruit snacks. Too much sugar really does upset his stomach.EGS and Hunny had made plans to go to Dufflebag Theatre, but there were only 3 seats left and they were widely separated; so the they went to see if there was aa movie; and ended up getting a new game for the Wii.YGS came over and they played the game.GD was sad that she had to stay home so Hubby will have to plan a day with her.
Today the little greenhouse will go up. I've allready rearranged the dining area. Still cannot find the clear plastic for the little polytunnel. Oh well. Many of the seeds have germinated so that was a surprise.YS will assemble it and then I'll be able to get the seed trays in it and off the table. the kids had to eat their supper sitting on the floor one night ! "they thought it was great.
The hexagons are growing ! Yesterday I did 100 !! I photocopied the hexaagons at school and even cut a lot out while I had quiet times in the back of a classroom. I should be able to get a lot done tonight as I have 5 shows on tv that I love !! Finally Outlander is back ! LOL My friend who helped me get started quilting 10 years ago, had no idea what English Paper piecing was alathough she tried to pretend she did. She made a couple of comments so I actualy had to bring soe in to show her that she was wrong. I do worry about her; whether there is something organic going on or mentally, she is not the person she was.
The oatcakes are nearly gone. Today I'll made a couple of banana breads, maybe some fruit bars. I'll shove the turkey in so all is ready before 5 ! Cause at 5 I'm ploking myself down in front of the tv !
