TOG Y1R U4 Week 28

I know, I know. The week is over and I'm just posting this now. We had a lot going on this week. We had a field trip on Tuesday. And Princess L was trying to pull out the extension cord that our laptop was plugged into. It fell. Thankfully the important part - the data, the hard drive, the other stuff - is okay. But, the hinge for the screen on the lefthand side is broken. Plus, Princess M got the laptop when Princess E left it open on the coffee table and pulled off several keys. We don't have an X key currently. We need to replace these, but not sure when that will happen. Our other computer, our desktop, which is the one the girls usually use, has an obscure virus affecting the ability to pull up the internet. It was treated once by our internet provider, but they told us the chances that the entire virus was wiped out was slim. Sure enough, four weeks later it's back. So the only computer we can access the internet from is the laptop. That is the computer that our TOG DE is loaded on. My Homeschool Tracker Plus is on there as well, with all their assignments. To have it gone for several days will be a big problem. We're trying to put it off as long as possible.

Princess L
This little princess learned to ride her big girl bike with training wheels. I sent her outside with Princess E and told her to teach her. She couldn't figure out how to start out or break. Now, she wants to ride up and down the sidewalk all the time.

Princess M

Now that she has experienced Spring, she wants to be outside all the time too. Our cat sits in front of the door and meows until someone lets him out. I think this little princess has picked up on that, because she just walks up to the doors and cries. Can't just let her out though.
