La La Land: First weeks of school

Its been a fun first 2 weeks of school. Tripp has really enjoyed all of it. His favorite things are recess and snack! :-) I think he has really enjoyed playing with all the kids. The class theme is "Worship the Lord with gladness!" Psalm 100. They are working on learning their math facts and reviewing all of the letter sounds. In their study of the Bible they are reading about Creation in chapter 1:6-23. They are studying the habit of attention this quarter. Tripp had to recite his first Bible verse on Thursday. He nailed it! "Listen, my sons to a father's instruction. Pay attention and gain understanding." Proverbs 4:1

We have all enjoyed the first 2 weeks of our school experience. It's been fun spending time with Jasper and Zoee without worrying about whether or not I've done enough "school" with Tripp. We can just play!!! I haven't figured out how to fit in naps but we'll adjust eventually.

Spending all this time in the car has proven to be a challenge as well. On Monday I drove over a huge piece of bubble wrap that in turn got stuck to my exhaust pipe (I think). The smell of burning plastic went with us everywhere. I had no idea what was causing it. On Tuesday the lady behind me in the carpool line told me what it was. I had to take it down the street to get someone to remove it. On Wednesday I almost ran out of gas. I coasted in to get Tripp on fumes. Then on Friday, after I picked Tripp up from school, I was cruising down 74 texting a friend (not really) when I ran right into the car in front of me! OOPS!!!! No one was hurt. Jasper and Zoee actually slept through it all. I have a ticket for following too close and a small amount of damage to the front of my car. Hope it doesn't cost too much!
