Surprise!

So, as I mentioned I wasn't quite ready to begin in Mexico. Part of the reason why (that I didn't mention) was I really wanted to get a flag sticker book for my daughter. Yes, she's only two, BUT she at least learned how to identify our state while studying USA, so why not allow her to have some fun too? I'm sure she'll have a good time when we "travel" to the country we're visiting then get her little booklet stamped. Anyway, we hadn't gotten her a book yet. And here it is Thursday and we STILL hadn't been to Borders to see if we could get it.

Well...

Today I got a phone call from a younger girl asking for my husband. I told her he wasn't available and asked for a message. She said that she was from Borders and that his book that he had special ordered was in. Let me just say, my husband is just not a book person. He doesn't just "hang out" in Borders looking for books (like I do!). So, I asked what book he had ordered and - you guessed it- the flag book!

Isn't my superman the BEST?!?

There has been several things that have kept me from going forward into Mexico. That is one less thing to worry about. :-)

This week has been delightfully quiet and peaceful. We spent the first few days dealing with high temps and such. And in the meantime I have been able to get some MUCH needed chores done. I'm actually almost caught up on laundry! I'm happy to report that my daughters temp is down, but she's still coughing and cuddly. (I don't mind that second part though!)

I am thinking about doing this every few weeks where I take two weeks to get through one week. It has been refreshing! We need a balance in life and sometimes you just have to reclaim the HOME in Homeschooling.
