First Day of School

First day of school went awesome today!  I was so nervous about starting with Danijela who would need my attention for all of her school.  It went great.  The older girls read out loud to each other in almost every subject, they got all their work done and turned in and in between helping Bela and Danijela I graded and began redoing ALL my lesson plans because the program I used messed everything up so I had to get a new program and start all over. 

Dani was so excited about school that when she was done, she was sad and begged me to be able to do more.  We sat down and read a few more books (in between me helping Bela out and getting some laundry done since I am dreadfully behind.) Today she learned about habitats and environment, things we need to survive, how to write the numbers 1-4, how to write the letter b, the word bed, and the word bath, and she learned a little bit about the Sonora Desert.  She already knew what shelter was...she informed me that it is protection!  Very precocious if you ask me.

Everyone worked so hard that we managed to get school and chores done by 3:30 and head out for voice lesson auditions.  Brittany and Gabby had to tryout and they both sang Amazing Grace.  They both did well and lessons start in two weeks.  Bela and Kassie will be doing voice and recorder as well.   

Kassie and Dani had an interesting conversation on the way home tonight. 

Dani: My stomach is too small to fit my spit.

Kassie: What?!?!

Dani: Everytime I swallow my mouth fills back up!

I started my real estate licensing course today too.  That will be done in my free time (oh wait do I HAVE any free time????) and when I am done with it I will be choosing my own hours.  Who knows if it will benefit me, but I am already finding the course very informative and interesting!
