Kumon @ Costco and Gardening in the 21st Century

Hey all -

Feeling much better over here. Almost 100%! Thanks so much for all your well wishes and prayers.

I came across a great find at Costco today. Pre-school and kindergarten Kumon books - 3 of them for $12.99. A steal of a deal. I first heard about Kumon books from Kendra at Preschoolers and Peace. Whether you're planning on home schooling or not, I think they're a great resource for kids and parents alike. Steele loves doing them and I enjoy the time we get to spend together as I help and teach him.

I also started a bit of yard work today. I was laughing at myself. I was sitting on my front prch with my laptop, using wireless internet, doing research on how to prune my maple tree. I'll never give up books but I sure do love the internet.

Are you watching Dancing With the Stars? What do you think? That Steve Wozniak has got to go. But I would be even happier if one more person went before him: Holly Madison. Blech, blech and double blech. That girl has no class and no rhythm.

I hope spring is springing wherever you are!

Okay, this is my first season ever watching Dancing With the Stars and so far I'm enjoying it. Is it always ballroom dancing? Anyway, I definitely think Steve has to go and I was disappointed Belinda went before him. But I'm also with you on Holly Madison.

We'll have to check out the Kumon books next time we're at Costco. I'm so glad you're feeling better!

Kristen said...

Kumon has some good resources, I agree. You'll also appreciate Rod & Staff's set of pre-school workbooks. These have been a nice, gentle introduction to school for my guys. Although I don't recall if I'd discovered them yet when Jan was at that stage. (And here the guy is on the verge of turning 14. Ack! Where does the time go?!)

Oh, random tidbit...I changed my blog link to www.skitoseanirvana.blogspot.com. Not that I'm posting there regularly, mind you. I need some genuinely nice, warm weather to encourage me to go out and take pictures! My indoor photgraphy stinks!
