Most of my week wasn't filled with SuperLearning. The girls & I were reading a book about Celts today and it talked about Bards & how when they would go to sleep they would hope to be visited by "the Learning Fairy". We got a good laugh out of that but I suppose since we're Christian and not pagans we'll place our hopes elsewhere.
Riis hit his head on one of the kid desks and cut his head open. It was only about a cm wide but pretty deep, and you probably know head injuries really bleed. In this case he bled all through the house before he found me. It was fun calming him down and trying to explain his eyebrow wasn't missing! While I took care of Riis the girls were putting wet rags on all the blood spots. It took us over two hours of scrubbing to clean the carpet.
Riis and Evelyn had soccer practice right after that & Riis went even though his head hurt. They are on the same team this season because of the 5/6 age division. Riis gets to learn a position this year. He is getting better with the ball but I am concerned about him being made to stand in one place because he loses focus so easily. There are too many hawks to watch, and there was even a dead bunny on the field, too! That's distracting.
Did I mention last time about the fence Casey is building? Because of my way sweet & cute dog's destructive tendencies she can't be a house dog. Now she can't even be a yard dog. She will be in a dog run 60' long and 9' wide that borders the neighbors with the scary big dogs. I am so happy! On Saturday Casey came home from work & cut down trees, dug post holes, & cemented them in place.
Casey is so awesome that if he wants something (e.g. iPhone 4) I don't say no. Well, at first I didn't say yes, but he got what he wanted & got me one, too! It shut down while I was using it and I learned how to restart it. I've learned that I can talk on the phone and play SpiderSolitaire and listen to the radio. I have also learned that it is a major distraction! I haven't gotten my (extra) book read for book group this week! But it is really great learning all of the wonderful things I can do with this phone! I am not Tech hungry (mostly because of the distraction factor) but once I have it, I am not going to give it up.
This post is really late because I haven't had time to add pics. I'm going to go ahead and post it and move on. Sorry!
