We went to Kid's Club tonight after we dropped Chris off at class. The craft was decorating a canvas pencil bag. Tabitha took easy route this time, something she rarely does with free drawing, and called it "Pink Land" and drew everything in Pink. Works for me as this time it only took her 5 minutes compared to the usual half hour. Hot Dog on a Stick was giving out samples so we had some pink lemonade and also some limeade. The lime was really good! They also gave coupons and tattoos and hats. Add in the free stuffed animal Tabitha got for going 5 times this year and it was quite the haul this evening, lol.
I found a maternity shirt that I love, but they only had XL and I need a large or even a medium so I'm going to go to a different Motherhood Maternity tomorrow. I only need a couple more short sleeve shirts and then need to start stocking up on long sleeves and a few more pairs of pants. Plus I'll need to pick out something to wear for Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve. and possibly New Year's Eve.
On our way home from the mall Chris called to say he had left his homework at home. So we swung by and picked it up and ran back to the college to give it to him before coming back home. He also thinks he might be out early tonight if they get to leave right after a test, so I might be going right back there in a little while.
We started up lessons again today after a two week break. I'm really working with Tabitha on her spelling and writing lower case letters. She can write them, but she has no sense of proportion. I've never given her lined paper because I didn't want to inhibit her creativity when she wrote stories on her own. But I'm finding it difficult to teach grammar when capitalization is such a big part of it and she writes in all capitals. I'm using a workbook for spelling, but supplementing with my own ideas and we're doing actual spelling tests as well. I have her type the words out on the computer to reinforce her knowledge of where all the keys are located. I want to get her a typing program, but I'm not finding in the store the one I'm looking for. I'm going to check Amazon if I don't find it pretty soon.
Tomorrow evening we go to check out a Hawaiian dance class. I really hope it works out for us!
