I know, I know....just a few months ago I was sharing this:



You know it's hot when the kids ask to come in to do school. LOL!

Summer School

Today was the 1st day of summer session. It was not very painful at all and the only person who balked was pre-school. He is so unsure of himself that he often will be too afraid to try some of his task. We reassure him daily that he can do a great job, but I think old fears of doing something wrong make it hard for him to try.

Surprise

I have the neatest teen aged son around. I have had 7 kids for the last 2 1/2 weeks as I am doing some respite care and it has been a very busy, fun last week of camping. We came back home yesterday and there was tons of laundry to do. This morning while the children were eating breakfast, I was folding clothes and packing for 1 of the children that is leaving today. I heard noises going on in the kitchen and then smelled cooking. When asked what was going on out there I heard a very suspicious, "Nothing!" Ummmm, Yeah right! A minute later, my 16 year old walks in with a plate of scrambled eggs and sausage. WOW!! I did not expect that! I am so blessed.


And they were good!!! :)

Natural Man Cave

About 3 years ago, Jeffrey asked to move out of the RV to a tent... his own "Man Cave". He started off in just a little 2 man tent, but this last year got a 6-person, 2-room tent as a gift. He loves it. He uses 1 side as his bedroom and the other side as his living room. I did not get really good pics, but here are some...
