Printed! Schooling prep...

I'm so getting ready for school!! The girls are in first & third grades this year. That's AO1 & AO3.

Today... so cool I picked up my print order for about 250 pages from Kinkos.com. The best part is yesterday I uploaded the files in the rain :) No getting out & no waiting.

My bonus was one job was printed wrong. I print our poetry as a cute little book. They quickly reprinted the order and we were out the door. Great service.

What all did I printed?
  • Math.. 175 pages. We use a really cool free program found online. MEP. Printed & spiral bound. Ready for the year for Ladybug. I had Lovebugs print last year. I heard lots of this math on the main AO list. There also a group for MEPers.
  • Poetry for the year. William Blake & Sara Teasdale and Hilda Conkling & Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
  • Color prints for our art study. The yahoo group AO Art Prints has a file for each term. We are studing Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510) Florentine Renaissance, Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840) German Romantic & Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) Dutch Post-Impressionist. AO has a good site about our Art Study.
  • Our AO1 & AO3 side by side schedule. I've combined the weekly list from AO & ligned up each week side by side in excel. I hope it well help me keeping up with now 2 in school! Right now 2 seems a challenge... how do moms with more balance this???!!!

So I'm glad that's done! It does make me want a duplex laser... but that is a want not a need.

I'm yet cleaning. Today I got to the bottom one school drawer from our coffee table... one more to go. Then I need to conquer the math drawer that's crowded with a mountain from our wooden train... hummm faith to move mountains!!! I yet need to collect all AO3 for the bookshelf!!! We'll start schooling on Monday....

I asked the girls if they wanted to start today.... they pondered it and gently said they had a few project yet to do!! Hum.... like me!! One project was hanging glow stars with daddy!! Glow fun!

I'm also praying for Kim today. Her surgery is today & she's is to get out of MD tomorrow. Then head home this weekend. Praying!!

Grace!! ss

Glad it worked out so well to do the uploading. At least that means you didn't have to sit behind the printer.

I like that for the art they used a heavier paper and the prints look real good too.
