This'll be a short one

Today in a nutshell:

Time with Kenzie this morning - ate pancakes and fruit

Madi had her first piano lesson this morning - new books and all.  Learning how to hold her hands at the piano and learned a few new songs in the "black key" position.  Will learn note names next week.

Madi was able to talk to Mason today so that was good.

The girls built a house out of the table and couch using cushions and blankets and things.  They spent a lot of time just playing in it.

Study time consisted of 40 minutes on www.ixl.com with math skills by grade.  She was able to review what was learned in third grade here and take practice tests.  I am able to view her results in different graphs to see how much time she has spent on the areas (multiplication, division, etc...) and how many minutes she is spending in each area.  As well as which areas take her longer to do, how many problems she is getting correct/wrong in each area and where she has "gold medaled" and met the expectations.  One of the best parts is that it is a thirty day trial so we can do it every day through August 13.

We had tacos for dinner with turkey meat - Madi seemed to like them quite a bit.

I went to the Girl's Night Out at church where we had henna tattoos, did Zumba, got our eyebrows/upper lips done by Just Stringz, and took goofy pictures in a photo booth.  Super fun!  So Jeremy had the girls tonight.  He said that Riley, Madi and he all fell asleep in Riley's bed.
