TT- My Train Set

Thomas the Train Toy Set

We bought this huge train set for the boys as their Christmas present. Ryan managed to assemble the set by himself by following the instructions on the box. He extended the train set but including certain parts of the other train set which he has that was compatible with the new set. Here in this picture you can see him hard at “play “.

I’m really impressed at his devotion for Thomas the Train Engine and friends. He had been interested in these trains since he was 2yrs old and still am happy playing with his train sets daily.

TT- Tackling Papers

Now that the exams are over it is time to spring clean my desk at work. It feels so good throwing away dated circulars and schedules.  Filing up the loose pieces which I need to keep neatly filed up for further use or referrence.  My desk is so much neater and it really looks great to have decluttered.

At home I also cleared out the boy’s study sheleve and junked all their classwork which I deemed not neccesary to keep. Nowadays I just snap pictures of their classwork to put on their blog(an this one) instead of keeping the hardcopy. Each term they come back with one huge stack of worksheets and booklets which they have made in class. At the rate they are going I would have run out of shelve space when they enter elementary school.

Tackled- Freelance Writing, Speed Cooking, Laundry

This tuesday was a really busy day for me. The students are in the midst of the SA1 exams and every day after school we have to stay back to mark their examinations scripts.

The tasks below took me 2.5hrs to complete.

Today I managed to finish these task before the boys returned home from work/school.

1. Putting the clothes to wash , hanging up and folding the previously laundered load.
2. Marinating , cutting the meats and vegetables and cooking a 3 dish meal ( Soup, Vegetable and 1 meat) within an hour.
3. Completing my latest freelance writing task  which required  2- 300words length articles  (had completed 3 out of 5 articles on Monday)

Tackle -It-Tuesday(My achivements)

This week I’m doing a different meme. This week I managed to get quite a lot of things done.

For my Blog

1. I’ve joined the Problogger  31 Days to build a better blog  challenge. I am actively taking steps recommended to improve on this blog to make it a more enriching stop for my readers.
2. I’ve decided on a posting schedule. Tuesdays & Wednesdays meme days, Thursday or friday series and weekend linky love.

For the kids

1. create Japanese flashcards and worksheets tailored to their ability. (Set 1 is almost completed)
2. Read storybooks to them on weekday nights. Read pages from the children’s bible once a week.

At Work

1. I managed to clear the syllabus for this term and am on schedule to start revision for the upcomming examinations.
2. The books on my desk have been marked and returned to the students. I only have their essays left to mark.
