Today was Jacob’s last day of school, so I thought it would be a good day to do something more than just use a picture of him. I put a collage together with Violet’s and Jacob’s first day of school and there last. Of course only the one of Jacob was taken today. Still I think this is a good way to remember the moment, and to see how my little ones have grown.

Tonight was CSAC at Jacob’s school. I started going last fall, I wanted to be more apart of Jacob’s school. With all my other boards, I’m not sure how big of a role I can take at CSAC, but this year I think I’ll try to do more than just show up for the meetings. Of course the kids like the meetings because they get to spend time at Jacob’s school after hours.
This weekend there were 2 events that reminded me that I need to be doing more writing on my blog. The pictures and stories that go with them are great, but there should be more posts that focus things other than the Picture of the Day. Both events were anniversaries one marks 3 years of me posting everyday here on Geek with Kids. The other was the 40th anniversary of my elementary school Alpha alternative with a visit to the school Friday for a pre-reunion visit and the reunion itself on Saturday my weekend was filled with old friends and old memories. So how do these events remind me that I should be writing more you ask? They both highlighted in surprising ways that I used to write more. Let’s start with the anniversary of my daily posting, it may surprise some of my readers to know that I didn’t just post a picture everyday back then. I wrote a post each day, sure I had my Wordless Wednesday and some of my posts were pretty short, but back then I focused on writing. It wasn’t till Jan 01 2010, that I started my Project 365 that morphed into my Picture of the day. Continue reading “Looking back at my writing”

Grade 1 has brought weekly spelling for Jacob. It seems each Monday the teacher will five Jacob a list of words that he has to use in sentences. Each day he’s supposed to review the words so that on Friday he’s ready for the weekly spelling test. Today he brought home his second list of words and sentences. So after dinner he sat down with Mom and reviewed the words and did a practice test. He knows the words, but he’s going to work on them each night to help with his printing. Also to help him get used to studying for when the words get harder.

Today we headed down to Violet’s preschool for an open house. It’s the first time she’s been in the school, and she was very excited. Of course she’s not happy that she has to wait till September to go every day, but what can you do. Once again I had more pictures than I knew what to do with so I setup a collage. Thought I’d as my readers, do you like it when I uses Collages for my picture of the day? Continue reading “POD: Pre-School Open House”
Today Jacob decided that he did remember the song he’s doing for the Christmas Concert at school and Melissa (the best wife and mother ever) got it on tape. It’s moments like these that makes me really glade that we always have cameras with us.
