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...

With Whispered Voice: "Summer School"

I think I have finally decided on a start date for summer session...June 22nd. In the summer, we do very shortened sessions and focus on core areas. This summer we will be using Summer Bridge again for the 3rd summer in a row. I just really like how this workbook covers all areas in short burst. Enough to give review, but not too much to bog a person down.



And finally....


Final report card grades and comments.

A Little Advice Please...

I am currently shopping for a rice cooker and don't know much about them or what features I really want. If you have one, could you please give me some advice on features, brands, etc... Thanks!

Fishing

We spent the day fishing... or should I say feeding the fish. LOL! It was a very peaceful and beautiful day and we will try again.
