Top Ten Goals for the Week 1/23 - 1/29

I'm afraid this "new" blogging style of mine is going to bore people to death, but it's my way of record keeping...sorry. I will try to add pictures to make it more interesting.

• Read to the kids a lot and keep track of books - I am a former librarian and avid reader and yet I have a hard time reading to my kids. If there is only one kid, everything is fine. I read, they listen, we talk. If there is more than one (which there always is), they fight about who will sit closest to me, the book is too long or too short, one gets mad when the other points to something and blocks his/her view, etc. Anyone else have this problem?
• Get to the zoo to trade our shells (they have a swap shop).

• Turn off the t.v. - This is going to be a hard habit for the kids to break, but we will break it!

• Go through Lakeshore catalog and decide what to make.
• Start reading program (Spell to Write and Read) with Eaden (take time at night if need be).
• Make it to Titmouse Club (Audubon Society).
• Clean the house at night.
• Find faces and animals in the clouds (or whatever else you see!) from http://www.besthomeschooling.org/articles/lillian_jones_ps_kdgtn.html
• Do not enter a thrift store!

• Pick up holds from the library and return long overdue book to other library system (you can do it!)
