Life in Beanland.

Wow! It's been a week since I've posted. My laptop gave me the gift that doesn't keep on giving...the blue screen of death. Please pray that it gets better.

Bean enjoyed her first "last week of school" last week. Her school had a year-end celebration that included a bouncy house, carnival games and temporary tattoos. That tattoo is still hanging around. I am beginning to wonder if it is temporary.

We celebrated Memorial Day by attending a parade in a neighboring town.  I would love to share some pictures with you but I honestly didn't even think about taking any.  I think my "mommy brain" is in full effect.  How do you forget to chronicle your child's first ever Memorial Day parade?  I think I was still wrapped up in my grief over my beloved laptop.

I made some really pretty thank you gifts for Bean's teachers.  I will share those with you when I can.  They were super easy and well received.  

I have enrolled in an online training course to learn how to use the Montessori method with Bean on my own.  I really believe in this teaching method and while I'll never be able to homeschool her or really delve into Montessori with her like she can experience at a school, I want to be able to share lessons with her as she gets older.  Of course, the dead laptop isn't helping this little mission of mine but hopefully I can keep up during my lunch hours.  If not, I'll just have to be an online drop out.  There's worse things, I guess. 

I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend.
