Well, sis and i pretty much just played around the house over the weekend. We did venture out to run a few quick errands Saturday and to attend oh so great Church Sunday, but thats it. Thought about getting up to Rogers to check out the Frisco Festival, but w/ the random rain showers and sis not really interested i opted to not make the trip and a trip to the Jones Center was offered, but she MJ didnt mention "maybe" wanting to go until 6PM. We do enjoy getting out and doing stuff, but she and I have as much fun or more fun just playing at the house. Some of MJ's main focuses this weekend were convincing Lionel that Mermaids and Fairies were real because he claimed they were fake, setting of the contraption to the game mouse trap numerous times w/o us ever playing the actual game once, and playing hospital and doctor w/ her new teddy bear nurse named white chocolate she got at dollar tree w/ her chore money.
With homeschool starting last week i had decided i wanted to a couple lessons on the weekends too so we started Guitar Lessons Saturday and Bible Lessons Sunday. We spent about 30 minutes on each and will have a 15 minute review for each on 2 different week nights. M.J. really enjoys playing her guitar and is a natural for sure. Before this week she could already play 3 chords and did things that i didnt even teach or instruct her to do like strumming w/ rhythm and matching her vocal to the tune of the guitar. We covered some guitar and sheet music basics. practiced strumming, and covered the first of her notes; the C note Saturday. Another "natural" thing she was tapping her foot to the rhythm as she played. Im tellin ya...shes a rockstar in the making. hehe. With the Bible lesson i ended up just reading her some stories as opposed to picking some verses or a short passage, writing 3 questions, and then her and i answering them. I may try that, but she really enjoyed just hearing about the miracle spree Jesus went on before his death. She had learned about some of the miracles before in Sunday School, but some of them were new to her. She didnt want me to stop reading and ya gotta love that.
Hmmm...well, i will be back mid or late week. We are attending Treehouse Open house tomorrow so really wanna tell about that and the upcoming Treehouse semester. Also picking up MaryJanes new kitten tomorrow nite.....
Oh...and yeah...no pics for todays post. Got some, but MJ wanted me to keep them to myself. Why?...not sure, but believe this...she looks precious. hehe.
Later
