music!

nate before his music class this am
isn't he thrilled?!
i told him if he smiled i'd give him a cookie
which is funny cause i don't have any cookies
hahahaha
nate enjoys this class, the teacher is amazing! 
and i turned around to grab my breaky to eat on the way there
this system totally works for me!  i put cereal in a bag and take my coffee to go!  yum!
anyways, ellie got into nate's stuff
she was so sad when i told her the music class was not for her
she came and hung out it me
                                               and i put a braid in  her hair!
i totally think ellie's our musical one. going on a huge hunch here...
then we came home started school but we were both distracted by the on goings at our neighbors house!
when we pulled up there was a huge budget rental van and 6 or so extra cars
weird.  anyways...after an hour of watching them take a mirror and move it around. i did what any mom would do
i sent nate over to ask
and he did
15 mins later he's still talking and came home to report that they are making a commercial about cancer and how to prevent it
then the guy nate was talking to lite up
yes, smoked away while making a commercial about cancer
ironic? no?

bawahhhhhh

science and standing!

we are studying flowers and their root systems
so i hit the $ store for some seeds and wouldn't ya know i they come with soil and a bio cup to boot!
i had nate add water and mush up the soil
we are growing beans and sunflowers
ellie watched
heehee
she does this thing with her head now, when you smile at her she puts her head to the side and laughs
so adorable. i want to eat her (not that i would actually eat babies...haha)
but then again in am extremely biased here
back to the seeds
i put them in glass tea holders so we can watch the root system as they grow
i may have to put them in bigger pots thou
anyways! we'll see how this goes!
nate was encouraging her to stand!
i think she got it
sigh
they grow so fast!
then in the corner i spotted this
i wonder who was hiding and reading?
nate has this thing with letting me know that he's reading, he's always hiding
not that it lasts long cause my kid is LOUD

i think i am finally catching up with house work and life.  i have myself on a schedule this week so i  know it will get done this week....if i stay the course. i dunno i just like knowing that i am keeping up with stuff, it makes me feel more in control or something?  who knows!

happy sunny tuesday everyone! 4 comments

monday madness!

us yesterday. before she chewed on my scarf
nate made this for me. he took the wonder wall questions and taped them to his door.  then he took the stop sign which i use during school to warn him to stop what he's doing before i have to speak. it works wonders!  nate wrote dad on it. stop dad! hahaha then he wrote my name and his name and circled them because we are allowed in the room but not chris. creative much? haha

seriously, am i the only one who feels busy all. the. time?  i HATE this!

gonna clear off our schedules of things we don't have to do i think or cut back on something.

breaks with friends don't count as busy things, that is survival. hahaha 1 comments

living life!

i can not get over the personality differences between the 2 kids!
the other morning i was making breaky and i put ellie on the couch, not a peep from her, nate however didn't stop talking! ha
i went over to get her and found this! she fell over and just lay ed there playing with her blanket. not a peep!
when this happened to nate he would let me know! ha
thurs afternoon i had a play date/helping a friend out with child care/busy afternoon!  we had 2 of nate's friends over
i ran them out!
the 3 kids lead to 4 more neighbourhood kids and the next thing i knew i had 8 kids in my back yard!
i rather nate here than there!
then we had a snack of popcorn- very quick snack and no groceries! haha

meaning it was all binged/decorated out and was lovely to just enjoy!
that'e me, his daughter!
ellie has a new skill!

hahaha
i find her like this at least a dozen times a day!
nate decided to have a picnic for me. he set it all up just for me!
he got his coffee machine, banana's, cant elope, tomatoes, cucumbers, Brussels sprouts and cheese
he knows me well!

our days in pics

calling dr ellie
dr ellie to the or!
nate with his apple smile
mon we rushed out the door to swim, met chris at the pool then hit the drive thou for supper and picked up uncle rob for a visit!
ellie took right to him!
it was so nice to visit and catch up with him and old high school friends
can't wait for another visit!
tues night was the first night in over 2 wks that we did not have company. i crashed on the couch and woke up so sick yesterday!  we have had this redic cold for over a week now :(  
and through it all ellie smiled and cut 2 more teeth!  teeth count is 6 now!
nate got a letter from nana and papa plumps, he read some of it!  yeah for me, i mean us!
he loved his fruit fact sheet!
nate looks so much like chris!
yesterday chris was sick and took the day off. thank goodness bec i was feeling so gross! 
ellie watched nate
she told chris to let her go she can stand on her own!
i sent nate out for recess and we watched him
haha
we now start school earlier in the morning with chris back to work (boo!)
so ellie joins us for the first hour or so
we do devotions, read a story and poetry
the easy fluffy stuff that can be interrupted
or ellie reads to us
ok.  i wanted to start poetry with nate and found this awesome book at the dollar store. so i photocopied some poems, have nate color them and read what he can, write the title, sign his name and tell me his thoughts which i write down
i started with this one
nate LOVED it, he laughed and laughed and now he asks for the poem of the day!
doing his math
with his blanket
a perk of home education
his slippers!!!!!!
ok. nate wears his slippers around the house and i love it.  they make this click sound and i can hear him clicking around the house, it's just cute to hear and on the rough days makes me laugh
it's the little things that you have to hang on to. ha
last night my friend dropped by for a visit. she brought coffee so i let her in. hahaha
she also brought the most adorable hair bows for ellie!
and made her a tag blanket!  oh how she loves it
if you look close you can see that she is sticking her tongue out!
so many tags to pick at! so little time!
nomnomnonm
so then shes shewing away and nate walks into the room and i snap this pic!
nate joins her and i get this
she loves her brother!

so chris is back to work. we are all sick.  i have never been so busy, my days are full, my phone never seems to stop!  i find myself looking forward to all of ante's classes so i can sit and hold ellie. haha.  things will settle down i hope.............

and that's us!  how are you? 1 comments

adjustments!

baby power
she loves the remote!
lunch was a spoon and a green pepper
and the garage is missing the van....today is the day that chris has dreaded for a long time. haha.  he went back to work today!  our life hasn't changed much, i got into a good routine a few months back and stuck to it, chris was in the shop...i do miss having him drop in for coffee and a chat during the day....but the over all feel of the day hasn't changed at all

but

i thought it would be a good time to implement some changes.  i've come up with some rules and have decided to get back on tract with being more consistent with nate in every day life.  i also thought it would be a good time to add some more chores to his list. he's taken to this good so far!  the first day is always hard so i was expecting more challenges...i think chris is gonna be shocked that i've gone all authoritativeness with nate. ha

ellie is STILL sick! she's such a champ.  love her.  she is working very hard on cutting her 4th tooth!  and is very content.  she likes her sleep and does not like having her naps taken away from her....i have to on the days i run to roads with nate to his classes.  she has been waking up a bit earlier in the mornings, around 8:30, which is fine with me, i like the earlier start to the day!

so, today brings a new season in the eigenheer house hold!  maybe spring will get the hint and actually turn to spring!  haha

happy monday everyone!

*for some wonky reason i didn't take one picture of our company!  redic!  i think i was just busier than normal but we had a good time!
