Didn't post yesterday but wanted to comment on it.

Yesterday in the morning we got straight to work. There were a few pages left over from the day before since I had been pretty sick. We got everything done except 3 pages. Then we went to go meet Clifford the Big Red Dog. We met Raeann there and the kids had a blast. After that we played at the park where the even was and then went to McDonalds to eat and play some more. Raeann didn't go with us there but the kids still had a good time. After that we went grocery shopping. Usually that is a nightmare. This time it wasn't!! The kids were awesome! I was in shock. When we got in the car Makenzie said she had a fun time at the store. I made sure to really praise their behavior and let them know that they had more fun because I wasn't having to correct or yell at them. Told them that I would love for every shopping trip to go like that.

Once we were home Makenzie did some more homework. Makenzie is working in her 1st grade math book now. Although she wants to jump to addition we are making her work from beginning to end since the book gets harder as you go along. There were some pretty tricky patterns that she had to do. I thought she would get frustrated or confused. Boy she proved me wrong! She flew right through them and didn't make a single mistake.
