He is Entertaining

Our little dog is a nut! He is 10 months old, loves the kids and super loves playing outside. This is his favorite past-time ... fighting with boxes.

Fall...

Saturday was a great outside day. I actually was wrapped in my Snuggies and tried to read some, but the kids were cracking me up. They played with a box, sticks and leaves for almost an hour. I love their sense of imagination. That box was a boat at one point, a moving truck, a Bulldozer and I can't remember what all else.

Later we removed the drawers and shelves from the fridge for cleaning and all I can say is....uuggghhh. We used to do it every other Saturday, but that kind of fell off. Let's just say it is back on the MUST DO schedule.

Week In Review

Good week where everyone stayed on schedule. It was a low key week with only 2 appointments on Tuesday. This week in Bible, Kindergarten did the letter D for Daniel

3rd grade is learning dictionary skills and 7th grade is still doing integers.

In art this week we colored pictures of leaves and glued strips of colored paper in fall colors on the back of them. We finally took down our butterflies from last spring and put the leaves to hang in the doorway and on the sheers.

I was scheduled to work this last Wednesday and again on Saturday (tomorrow) but my client cancelled so I was able to get some laundry folded that had kinda backed up on me.

I finally found airline tickets for vacation. I kept waiting for cheapo flights, but I don't think there is such a thing anymore.

Have a good weekend.

Peace

A Quiet Moment...

One of those rare quiet moments where the 2 year old is not stuffing Lego's in the toilet and the puppy is not eating someones shoe WHILE.THEY.ARE.WEARING.IT!!!

Dinner Helpers

We had a very simple dinner tonight, made by the kindergartners: Sandwiches, carrots, chips and milk. 7th grade went to a function with our home school group and momma's not feeling well or hungry, so the 6 year olds decided that they would help with dinner. It was so cute watching them work together and they were so proud when I asked if I could take a picture of the finished product. Jackson said, "For the blog?!" with the biggest, cheesiest grin on his face.

So here it is folks!! Don't crowd!!

Box Tops and Book Orders

Now that I have a child in PS I am back to collecting box tops, bar codes and sending in Scholastic book orders. I like Scholastic. I have assigned box tops to my 7th grader to cut and save.

We have 6 weeks before we leave for vacation. Looks like we may have to take some school with us, but the crew seems to be fine with that. I am still trying to find another rash guard swim suit for James. He is fair skinned and we have to re-apply sunscreen often and he finally outgrew his last one.

Next week is a calm week for school. No extra appointments so far.

Our school emblem

Yum!!

These all came off of the vine this morning. They are sweet and juicy and plentiful!
