Shirley Temple Fan

I'm so proud! I turned my little girl into a Shirley Temple fan.

I have a collection of her movies but they have been packed away for years. I just pulled them out the other day and the girls have already watched quite a few. Last night Jasmine said to me, 'Momma, you got me to like Shirley Temple'. =o)

Yeah, that's my girl!

I can't wait to put her into dancing.

Reading....No India, don't eat the book!

School books....

We got our state refund back last week. Yeah! So I purchased some new books. =)

Writing Tales I - I can't wait to get and start this. I wanted to start it at the beginning of the year but we didn't have the funds for it. So, yeah!

Your Business Math - Pet Store - This was a new find for me. I'm so excited to get this. I'm not sure how soon we'll start it yet but probably pretty soon. I downloaded the ebook version so now I need to print it all out and put it in a binder.

Ok, some more books too but those were the highlights.

Next week I'm planning on purchasing Latin for Children A. We haven't started Latin at all yet so it'll be interesting to see how it goes! Lily is excited about getting this though! That makes me happy! She told me a couple weeks ago that she wants to learn the language the Romans spoke. =o) She's really been enjoying history!

On that note... I think we're going to add in Hindi next year for the whole family. I would like to add it now but I figured it would be better to wait since Lil is starting Latin now. So, Jasmine and India will be learning Hindi first and then Latin later. I actually prefer it that way for them anyways. They are, after all, my little Indians! =)

Anyhow, I'm pretty excited. It always feels like christmas when I get a shipment of school books. Oh My Nerd! ha ha ha

Bowling

Hubby and I took the girls bowling yesterday! We all had a lot of fun.



Lily did pretty good. In fact, I only beat her by 3 points. Of course, I'm not any good at bowling. But still...







It was Jasmine's first time going. The very first ball she rolled down the lane didn't make it all the way to the end. he he. And all the rest after that went down in slow motion but they made it! =)






India even got to help daddy push the ball a couple times. (and he still had the highest score, what's up with that!)




Too many toys...

Ugh! I'm trying to figure out how to organize the girls toys! They have too many and I've been trying to get rid of some but... there are still too many.

Right now we have a lot in a toy box. Well, the ones on the bottom never get played with.

I'm wondering if we should get some shelves to set them out on. Will that help? Then they can actually see their toys.

I still need to get rid of more, I know. It's just kinda hard to do. The youngest may want to play with it someday. So there I am keeping it for years, for the 'maybe' she'll play with it.

I wish I was a natural organizer. =( Instead, I stand here staring at the problem trying to figure out how to fix it...forever. And it hardly ever gets fixed. But I did waste a lot of my time staring at it. argh!

Hey, I'm not alone right?

How do you manage toys?

We have toy racks too. With the little baskets lined up on it. I guess that helps. But each basket is a total mess. Hey, it's a contained mess though. That's good right? =)
