MissKNG Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 We had deliveries almost every day for a week last year so we made our mailman a cute turtle craft as a "thank you"! He was really happy and said he put it on his desk at work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeslieAnneLevine Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I am eagerly and anxiously awaiting level one of the Barton reading program. I hope it will help my son (9). The dog does a good job of letting me know if anyone's coming up to the porch to leave a package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satori Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I am waiting for 3 Amazon packages today. Games - GeoDice, The Dinosaur Game, and GeoCards USA Books: The Complete Book of US History, Struggle for a Continent: The French and Indian Wars, Ed Emberley's Complete Funprint Drawing Book I just found out we're getting an a huge tax return. Although DH is trying to pay off some mortgage so he can quit his travelling job, I hope that we can get a Keekaroo chair and a 4x6 (or bigger) magnetic dry erase board.

johnandtinagilbert Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Me! Me! I'm waiting on some TOG books :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbridgeacademy Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I really have to stay away from Amazon and Ebay! After recieving my books last week I went and ordered more, a couple field guides for fossils and rocks (for my little paleontologist). I also finally broke down and purchased SOTW 1 used from Ebay for $5. We are very secular, and I wasn't sure if I could deal with the Christian tone of the book. USPS tracking say's that all of them arrived in town today so, hopefully they will be on my porch by end of the day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommy4ever Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 We have it, and I found that it was very secular. I'm not done the book, we were actually looking at TOG for the Christian tone. Perhaps I just haven't reached anything with biblical content as of yet...

hooahwife Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Funny that I should start reading this thread as the mailman was walking toward my house. I'm waiting for a package from across the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionfamily1999 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 :lol: You're too funny. We will! Thanks. They're taunting me. No school books, but our jelly beans and dd's hair dye (ordered FRIDAY, days after our books) have both arrived :banghead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionfamily1999 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 HA! We got our science books, Jo's rhetoric books, our art classes, The Annotated Mona Lisa, and a ton more :D What a sweet Saturday! Now to get the math books in and grammar........ oh and the various foreign language stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atozmom Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Got our computer... :hurray:. Just in the nick of time too. My old one died the very next day. I was so thankful I had a back=up hard drive. Now I am anxiously awaiting books too. Really looking forward to getting our Apologia Astronomy Notebook and A Living History of Our World journal. (from a wonderful mama here on the board :)) Why does it feel like Christmas. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Wisc Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 YES! I ordered 3 eyepieces for my telescope on the 16th and they are not here yet!!!! :confused: Our Messier Marathon is next weekend (an all-night search for all 110 of the deep-sky objects Charles Messier charted), and I ordered them for the marathon! They have an 82 degree field of view. :D ...I hope the clouds go away :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Wisc Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Jean, I keep adding to it, because I'm still waiting on a lot of books :lol: I just called about my eyepieces. I knew one was on backorder...but now I found out 2 of them are on backorder. :( The other didn't get sent out!!! But he said his son was in the hospital all week--this is a small business run by one man, if I understand it right. For all I know, it could be run out of the back of his garage. LOL! Well, such is life. It is probably we won't have enough clear sky to have a Messier Marathon this weekend anyway. :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionfamily1999 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I went back through TWTM and found a half dozen more books I need to order, I'm still waiting on Singapore and Memoria Press....

I'll buy my friend's Physics book since she is done with it and is selling it--so I won't be able to borrow it this time around. :lol: But my "baby" will be done, probably in December.

pdalley Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I ordered some Abeka off of Homeschooled Classifieds last week. Two books are here but several more are enroute. And I was shocked that the AAS order I placed late Friday was here today! I'm VERY impressed and can't wait to get started with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm right in the thick of it and I think you should laugh and cry. You survived this (I really don't think humans were meant to stress THIS much :lol:), and you're going to miss it. I mean, what in the world are you going to do?!? So, laugh in memory of all the people that questioned your sanity and cry a little that now you have to turn in the jumpers and be a normal mom... :grouphug: Congratulations :D :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the idea that they might all grow up and move away is soooooo scary! My married dd lives 2 hours away. My college kid is commuting from home (he could use prayers this moment for his Calculus II test). My youngest is going to look at colleges this spring...whose knows where.

Satori Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Ohmygosh, I just ordered a Keekaroo chair with the brown seat cushion. We just got our tax refund, so that was a big splurge. The next three days I'll be getting packages from Amazon, Singapore, Growing With Grammar. pdalley, I love ordering from AAS, the shipping is always very fast. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionfamily1999 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Memoria Press (Logic II, First Form Latin) is at the post office and Singapore (K-B and 5a) are coming tomorrow :D I've ordered all the other history, biology, music and art texts I needed :lol: Dh is starting to think college will be cheap. Poor deluded man. ETA, still need to get Grammar, Algebra II and........ oh there's probably tons more :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patchfire Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I finally placed some orders on Friday and thankfully at least one will show up tomorrow! I also managed to win a contest on facebook last week (!!) and that box should be here soon, too. What I really can't wait for, though, is the beautiful dSLR for which I just clicked 'buy' on amazon. :drool5: How will I wait two more days?!? Worse, I wasn't really supposed to get it until after Greenville and paying off a few things, so I'm going to be good and not use it until then. (Bought it because the one I wanted is being phased out and I was afraid it'd be gone by then.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 MIL send me an email today letting me know she got me a package off my Walmart baby registry. So I guess registering wasn't completely pointless after all. We should be getting a package as soon as the end of this week. On the one hand, I hope it gets here before the baby and includes receiving blankets. On the other, I hope the baby gets here before we expect that package!

HSM-Crissy Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I've been sending the kids to the door to check for packages every day! We will be starting 1st grade for my DD soon, since we live where it's hot...I thought we would start school early to take more time off in the winter. However, I am not doing anything super structured, still want them outside for now and reading reading reading. Art books & Nature journal book should be here soon!

Gooblink Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I am but not for curricula! I orderd new glasses from Zenni Optical and they are taking FOREVER to get here. Lucky me, I have a - special - prescription that took longer to manufacture. :glare: Really need those bifocals. Wearing readers on top of glasses looks quite silly.

mommy4ever Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 I'm back to stalking the mailman!!! Ordered Mcruffy science. I have been unhappy with everything else! Either it's all about writing and lapbooking, or about experiments with supplies I don't have or can't find! So this seems to fit the bill..... Just waiting on it now..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommy4ever Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Still waiting...of course. I did get an invoice for shipping, which is good. I also have laminator pockets coming. I am nearly out! Got a great deal! Think McRuffy and the laminator pockets are it.. OH, and a reimbursement check :) That will be nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
