It's awesome that you're teaching your girls to give & donate. :)<BR/><BR/>My Michael loves Rush too, and decided not to buy tickets for the same reason. One of our friends has connections, though, so we might go volunteer at the concessions to get to the concert for free.

Madison had been picked up already for his Boy Scout meeting when we started getting hail - which means he was in the car!! Yikes! Mackenzie and I got our safe closet spot ready while we kept watching the skies, internet weather alert and TV. Madison finally came home after all the tornados passed by.

That's my excuse for the moment anyway :-) I had not heard about a tornado in SoCal...quite atypical.<BR/><BR/>Angie--That "surprised scream" is the typical pose. I'd like for them to ignore my camera sometimes. They ignore me...why not the camera?! And...I've spent so much time on that crock pot blog lately...have you found anything to try there?!<BR/><BR/>Rhea--I am happy to loan out my penny pinching husband. It's like he gets a rush from saving money. I guess he does it with the way I can spend it :-)<BR/><BR/>CindySue--Ummm...I meant 1% :-) Really...I don't think the girls even earn that on their savings account...which is why we moved it to AAL...or whatever they are calling themselves these days. Can't believe no one else caught that. I can't believe Michael didn't catch it.Keys to the Magic Travelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15634829064005032831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692904496256051846.post-18486113685588314872008-05-27T21:57:00.000-04:002008-05-27T21:57:00.000-04:00umm. isn't 5% of $500 actually $25? so after 1 yea...umm. isn't 5% of $500 actually $25? so after 1 year you would have $525?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692904496256051846.post-62982035456983191312008-05-27T21:44:00.000-04:002008-05-27T21:44:00.000-04:00I forgot to add, we haven't seen Ironman yet, but ...I forgot to add, we haven't seen Ironman yet, but it looks good.<BR/><BR/>Also, sounds like Katie is doing so well with the home schooling and learning so much.

They are definitely a "do," too. <BR/><BR/>But here's what depressed me about this post...I didn't sit through all the credits at the end of Iron Man. Because I saw it on Mother's Day and felt all guilty for leaving my girls, who were already asleep by the time the movie ended ('cause, you know, I live in the country and have to drive 40 minutes to the nearest theater), so as soon as he announced, "I am IRON MAN!" my friend and I bolted. So...what did I miss? I love RDJ...was not delightful in this flick?<BR/>p.s. LOVE me some REM (wooo, Georgia boys!). Love me some Orange Crush.

But the grammar she really does have down pat...and it's become busy work. I just need to find a spelling problem that is not busy work, but might actually work on reinforcing some skills. I just don't know what that might be.<BR/><BR/>And here I was thinking that the picture of Katie admiring herself in the mirror was the "after" picture. The only other "after" one I took didn't look right...but maybe I can play with it in photoshop and add it to the post. :-)Keys to the Magic Travelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15634829064005032831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692904496256051846.post-91153557634332285862008-05-26T22:37:00.000-04:002008-05-26T22:37:00.000-04:00I love this post!

And my two cents would be to teach spelling next year. Here's why. You need to keep at the things you don't like or aren't good at. Or else you never get better and it's easy to blow off. For me it's not about the spelling itself, it's teaching her about the perserverance and pushing through things.
