That's the obligatory response after my long absence. I've been over on Facebook posting snippets of our lives.
I had to come here to share some delightful things my kids told me today.
I asked each of the girls what they wanted to learn this year. Morgan started her list slowly, then Kenna went a mile a minute telling me everything she wanted to learn. Morgan picked up a few of Kenna's ideas and then became a bit more creative with her own.
I've given you their lists as dictated to me.
Best part is, that with few exceptions (owning a cafeteria), I think we can accomplish most everything on this list this year with the help of some friends and creative advertising (riding in a small place right next to or behind the pilot counts as learning how to fly a plane, right?).
Morgan's List - 1st Grade Learning wish list
Cook
about planets and the solar system
Middle Ages
Violin
read bigger and harder books
make a fire and put wood in it (from Kenna's list)
Cut down a tree too (from Kenna's list)
how to sew
learn how to fly a plane
make a basket
make a dress
ETA: The irony of the previous blog post where I suggested Morgan might request "War and Peace" and her 1st grade goal to "read bigger and harder books" is not lost on me.
Kenna's List 0 Pre-school learning wish list
Roller skate - Really!
cut down a tree
put wood in a fire and how to make a fire

write letters by myself
fix bicycles like Daddy - Really!
How to make a house - really, I'm not kidding!
fix an arm if it is broken off a little child or a baby or a toddler (I'm not sure where this comes from, and it makes me a little afraid.)
