Hey, we made it to 100 posts!

I don't like this whole new blogger thing. Nothing wrong with it really, it's ju st that I don't like change :). Anyhoo, good news at SW (my US school) the book fair team has won the NATIONAL Scholastic book fair contest. They are flying a VERY cute author in from England to speak to the kids and there are other prizes as well. So, WELL DONE Angy and Rena! Kids as well! Go on, check us out at www.scholastic.com and look under middle school book fair winners!
In other news, it's Saturday, we're vegging at home and I just made a SuperBowl dip for tomorrow. Cream cheese, cheddar (not like the stuff back home :), and hot sauce mixed with cooked diced chicken and baked. Serve with chips. Not as nice a cheeseburger soup, but oh well! We went to the local fish place today, which only serves to remind us how much we miss our chippy back in Greenisland! The place is class! Ace! Today's was so very chain based fast food. ick. Walmart for coloured pencils for Mr. E's math book. We are very much loving our homescooling existance. The lit and reading is great, Math U See is a success, the Bible program is good, but Mr. E is not liking phonics. This from the kid who was in the top reading group at school in Greenisland. Go figure :) Oh, well, off to play with the dog (Fuzzy).
xoxo,
Michele
PS-looked into Irish Dancing class for E for this summer. Not sure if I want to drive an hour e ach way.
