mommy4ever Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I have a few packages expected here soon. The one I'm most excited about is the CLE LA. I got the first level, even though dd is more likely 1/2 way though it. I'll start when our school year is done, so that she has her 'workbooks' for summer and it will give her a solid review of this year. K is doing so good. Last April, she wasn't reading yet. She could do copywork, but couldn't read it at all. Now she is reading small chapter books, the Magic Pony, Rainbow Fairy, Magic Treehouse. I'm holding off any more purchases until May... but I'm so excited for this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionfamily1999 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Well, there is the package from Jelly Belly :lol: I just ordered some of the stuff we need for the upcoming year, I have about half left to order and even though I did it today, I'm ready to start tracking packages :D Most anticipated are........ The Annotated Mona Lisa and Lifepac art, both are for dd. ETA, congrats on the new reader/writer :party: I think teaching my youngest to read has been one of the pinacles of my parenting life.

jewel7123 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Just about every day, lol. Usually just little purchases though. A book here or there. It sure is fun to get packages in the mail. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satori Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Nothing today, except to check to see if Which Way USA subscription arrived for the first time. Yesterday I got a bunch of Maestro American History books, and some Language Arts games (Go To Press, Cooking Up Sentences and You've Been Sentenced).

skueppers Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I'm waiting for some books from Amazon.de (German Amazon), and from Barnes and Noble. I need the Amazon.de shipment for our current Africa study, and for planning German LA for next year. The BN shipment has some US History read-alouds, and a workbook I'm planning to use now for some light English LA stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Cornelia Snook Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Today I've been obsessively tracking my box from Sonlight. I ordered Core 3 early, because we got a big check in the mail and I wasn't sure the money would still be available come June! Anyway, Fedex says it should arrive tomorrow!

AmyinMD Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'm waiting on Bridge to the Latin Road. It probably won't be here until next week but I'm very anxious to get it.

Oops, duplicate account :/ Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 WWE and FLL 1/2 bought from the FSOT board here! These have been on my wish list for so long. SO excited!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 No, but I'm stalking the IRS website to see if our refund will get here any quicker. Then, I'll be stalking the mail and UPS men. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbridgeacademy Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) I got so excited when I peeked out the door yesterday and there was an Amazon package on the front porch! I ordered on Friday so that was quick for free shipping. Only problem it was only 1 book of 7. I checked Amazon today to see when the others will arrive.... 10 days! They were all ordered at the same time all shipped from Amazon. So yes, I am "stalking" my mail carrier, but to no avail.

nukeswife Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 not today, but I was stalking both the USPS man and the UPS man yesterday. I've finally decided that a foreign language was a priority and was eagerly awaiting my Song School Latin and Greek Alphabet Code Cracker. I plan to do Latin for the next few years but wanted something really fun and simple to start out with even though my kids are much older than the recommended age. The Greek book was mostly a just for fun thing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5Wizards Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'm currently waiting on a Rainbow Resources order (due Monday), two orders from paperback swap, and a package of a few books I bought on the FS board. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom-ninja. Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'm waiting on a package from FSOT here, and I'm waiting on RSO Chemistry w/kit from Home Science Tools.

carrie_irene Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Me too! Me too! If I lean *just so*, I can see the mail box from my dining room window. And I have found myself leaning *just so* quite a bit the last few weeks! DH and I are on the hunt for ToG books...doing it as used as possible, so we have lots of little and some not so little orders out. Thriftbooks.com is fun because they typically send out each book on its own...so the expectation lasts that much longer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In2why Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Me Me! I think it is the only thing that gets me through February as we wait for spring and can get out of hibernation. The real problem is that when I buy great stuff for next year and it comes, I want to dive right in. This year I was super excited about my "homemade" US history plans, and now I can't wait till next year when we do our "homemade Science". I try to only have one major subject that I pull together without a curriculum at a time, and use curriculum for the rest. Oh and my other problem is that I am going to the Convention in VA in March and I am sure to see other things I just can't live without, so I better get out of this slump soon. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommy4ever Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 I found out today, that I can't stalk the mailman...he's figured me out! He's no longer delivering at set times. I think it's some one new :( Or various subs. I had mail delivered TODAY..... Canada Post doesn't do residential delivery on Saturdays. I none yesterday, which leads me to suspect, we don't have a regular carrier at the moment. It has been sporadic for a few weeks. Hate having to watch ALL day now :tongue_smilie: It was nice when you know you get your mail between 11:30 and 12:15:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfamilygal Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Yes! Just got my packages from Lampstand Press and Bookshelf Central for our TOG 1-4 yesterday. (We had to consolidate MFW CTG so we can be ready for TOG yr 2 next year- they start at different times). And the Amazon man comes almost daily. :) I love book days! Of course, I have to work (I'm an ER nurse) today, have church and stuff all day tomorrow and then I'm having a hysterectomy on Monday. So I won't be able to dig in to my goodies until next week sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did good in picking it out :) She is at a movie with her daddy and sister right now. Dh has the day off, so they went to see the Justin Beiber, I'm sure dh is so thrilled :tongue_smilie: My French came today, and the Magic School Bus came yesterday. As well as the replacement cd's I've been waiting for for nearly 4months. I'm not pleased, I know I'll not be ordering from that place anytime soon.

Well, DH gets an email from his brother on Monday, it is a shipping notice for computer parts. My Brother-in-law bought us all of the parts for us to build a new computer! :w00t: What a blessing!!
