color by numbers are great and you can make them math problems too! Kailyn was bored with just sounding out the colors but was facinated by addition.

Also thanks for the calendar link, I had done this in the past and just found it over welming the last two years now my goal is to get back on track this year that gives me about a week to get it done.

Are you using the picture of Annalie in the shopping cart for your calendar?? That image pops in my head everytime I see one of the car carts!!

Great job Annalie!!! And to Mom for turning it edumacational (as a good friend of mine says when she is trying to hide the education part of fun at home).

And congrats to you Bethany for making the break to a MacBook Pro. You are going to love it. I won’t go back now, I just won’t.

We’re going to be doing our coloring contests today. We’ve been too busy birthdaying lately!

I’d love to get a Mac. Maybe when I’m a famous blogger and make $40,000 a month like Dooce, I can get one. But, since it’s not exactly my goal to be famous, and I doubt I’ll EVER make $40,000 a month doing ANYTHING, maybe I’ll just have to start saving :)

Jillian – Things aren’t much easier yet, since I’ve only been using the Mac for a few hours. I expect it’ll annoy and frustrate the snot outta me for a month or so, and then I’ll love it. That’s pretty much how it went when I got my DSLR. And what, math not easy to work into day to day life!? There’s math all over the place! You just have to look for it! Which, admittedly, you’re probably not doing if you’re not a math geek. ;-)

SAJ – It’s mostly because I’ve been occasionally using your Mac for the past year that I finally did it. I figured the initial “Acckkk, how do I do that!!?” wouldn’t be as bad since I have figured a lot of that out recently on your laptop!

Melissa – When it comes to computers, PC or Mac, I pretty much get what Troy tells me. I trust his computerly judgement.

Wow, Annalie is one smart cookie! That’s so funny – I made the conversion to a Macbook this week too and am completely smitten with it! I can’t believe I waited this long to get one. Lucky you though getting the Pro!

That sound included me!! Isn’t everything on a mac so much easier? lol.

I’ve been using your bowl for everything I possibly can. I adore it. It makes me smile every time I use it.

Math was definitely never my strong point. My mom focused way more on reading, probably because it’s easier to incorporate reading lessons into day to day life but not quite as easy with math. Yay for you for finding a way and getting a head start! and Yay for Annalie for being such a good pupil!
