Busy week this past week including a two day conference in Indy for work (thus the halt at blogging). I was determined to find some other things for Gabi to do for this upcoming week while we took a bit of a break from swimming since she came down with swimmer's ear. This also enables me to get alot of work done in the office so we can have extra time when it counts. So I picked up a 500 piece puzzle for Gabi to work on...may be more of a challenge for her, but she is always up for a challenge! I decided to not go overboard on trying to keep things clean and organized for a bit and allow her to pull back the table cloth at the dining room table and use it while she works. It gives her a place to go and a thing to do when she says she has "nothing" to do. It will work!! :) Also picked up a few cool books for her today and all on clearance to boot!
All About Me ($4),
Giant Book of Cool Stuff ($6) and even a
Bead and Friendship Bracelet: Book and Kit ($6) for hands on experience...we are ALWAYS up for good books at GREAT prices!! I am especially loving the All About Me because it is all stuff she can fill out on her own - her life facts, her life opinions, her likes and dislikes. Love it! Good ideas! So, hopefully this week and the few more weeks she has left she will have plenty to do besides television and video games. Swimming can be the icing on the cake as always. Tyler took Abby for dinner and the sunset in New Buffalo tonight for their "2nd anniversary" - can't believe time has gone by so quickly and Trenton made another trip to Naperville with Taylor Trim and friends for Trim's birthday last night.
