Good times

I'm trying something new here, so I have my fingers crossed that this will actually work. Hold on tight, this could be interesting...
So anyway. We had a fun little get away over the weekend. Jory and I randomly decided to take the kids to Columbus for a little adventure. He and I both had some shopping we wanted to do. The Iron Pony for him, and Easton for me. We stopped in for visits with the Smith family, and the Alexander family. Top it off with swimming in the hotel pool and it was a great little adventure. Now we are home with an arm load of new goodies to play with, and a rather messy house to clean up.
We have now hit the 3 weeks completed mark in our schooling. We have finally found our rhythm. Most days we are completely done, or almost done with our seat work when baby Elizabeth arrives. So then we are ready to read with her, which the baby clearly enjoys.
So we finally found someone to clean up the mulch piles on the corner of the property. It took him nearly three 8 hour work days to complete the job. But he's done. Yahoo!! Now about that house........

Huh?

So I'm not sure why blogger won't allow me to cut and paste from Word. I have a very long post to share with you and am not about to retype it all here. Is anyone else having this problem?

The End of Summer

Today is our last day of summer vacation. We are all set to start up school again tomorrow morning. The girls and I are rather excited, but Alex is not quite thrilled. This year all three children will embark on the crazy adventure known as home schooling. Kindergarten for the girls, and 2nd grade for Alex. While August 10 strikes me as kind of early to be starting, I have to remember that we’ve been on vacation for 3 solid months, which is more than public school kids get. So it’s time. It’s time for directed learning and structure. It’s time for all you crazy people to go back to school and leave us alone so we can focus. Ahem.
So this week was slightly calmer than the past few weeks have been. We spent a few days at the lake with our friends, the Smiths. Kevin, Jonna and I were pals in college, so it was good to sit back and reminisce about the olden days. Their daughters Natalie and Tessa had a blast chasing my kids around, and soaking up the fun in the lake.
So between our little get together, tying up loose ends for school next week, oh and getting ready for sweet baby Elizabeth, (who will be joining us for school on Monday). It was a productive week. Calmer, less frantic, and definitely productive. The way they should be.
