First Day of School - Take Two - Montessori...finally!!!

Aine loves learning as well as playing, so I've been waiting...and waiting...and waiting for the new local montessori to open...and it did finally, TODAY!!

She isn't happy in this photo, probably because I came to pick her up, LOL!! The teacher said that she must have been in montessori before the way that she took to it so well... She loved working with alphabets and numbers, drawing, reading...the teacher was well impressed...yay you Aine! 

Getting into their art!

 
Just a quick photo of the girls working on their artwork. We are getting closer to a move to Nenagh...about 2 hours away, near Limerick, might be posting photos of a house we'd like to have soon!

Aine is loving her playschool, but the local montesorri seems to finally be opening in February, so I'll probably move her over, as they'll focus on learning as well as play. The kid knows most of her alphabet and can spell her name... Tonight we looked at her numbers book and counted stuff...she is recognizing some numbers too!

Aisling is saying a few sentences and says a lot of words...learning earlier than Aine due to Aine's help I'd say!

More soon... 

First Day of Playschool!!!

 


Isn't she adorable? Aine LOVED her first day of playschool and she cried when her daddy came to pick her up for her second day of playschool...I'd say she'd live there if given half a chance!

Time sure flies, doesn't it! 

New Years Resolutions

I have been very remiss yet again at posting...between my visit to the States, coming home and straight into Christmas visiting, events, shopping...then a hideous cold/infection/ick that struck me down for over a week with no sense of smell or taste... Now it is already the new year and I need to get back to reality again.

I stepped on the scale, 153!! I have somehow managed to go up and down 30 lbs this year. Not good.

So...

Resolution #1
Lose 5 lbs a month to get to goal of 125 or below for summer...

This can be accomplished alongside

Resolution #2
Walk, Swim, Yoga, move that body more...

This also ties into

Resolution #3
Cook more often and cook healthy food for kids...meals at table not in front of TV

Resolution #4
Look after myself better: more water, more exercise, lose weight, healthier foods...but also bed earlier, floss those teeth, etc...

That should keep me well busy...

along with also trying to post here at least 2 times a week...and on my quilting blog equally as often....and working on more scrappy quilt projects...and some cross stitch samplers... geesh...better stop making goals...

I'm feeling unfocused right now, but hopefully I can regain that focus over the next month...I'm still really recovering from the dreaded ick.

Anyway...no photos today, but soon I hope...just wanted to get this back up and running again.
