Okay, so you may be wondering......is that a good Ahhhhhhhhh, a sigh of relief Ahhhhhhhh, a relaxing Ahhhhhhhhh, an "Oh MY GOSH," Ahhhhhhhhhh or an "I'm pulling out my hair Ahhhhhhhhh? Well, I am pleased to be able to say, it is a relaxing Ahhhhhhhhhh after a "I'm pulling out my hair Ahhhhhhhhh kind of week!! Yes, I am still homeschooling, yes, I am still wondering how I am going to ever get everything done (Although I think that statment is a myth and I don't know who started it, think about it, "Get everything done." Someone said it at some point in history and they must have been delusional, because ever since I can remember EVERYTHING has NEVER been done, not for me, not for my family, not for my friends. REALLY? Do you know of anyone who EVER has everything done?) Anyway....back to my relaxing Ahhhhhhhhhhh! We have had a MUCH better days in the last few!! I feel as though we are settling into a groove and getting our priorities (mostly) straight. I even used naptime to purge the basement and "go shopping" in our bins of hand-me-down clothing. Total purge result, you ask? I lost count but I think it was 7 large trashbags trash, 4 large trashbags salvation army, 1 large bin of clothing for a friend, 1 large box containing one totally destroyed child size sofa, and an old organ (child size, of course) given to us by a dear neighbor 10 years ago.
For some reason, I have heard from many families and the previous week was rough! We all had our own "pull your hair out moments," and for different reasons too. I am praying for those still dealing with water issues from the flooding, for those of you dealing with homeschooling struggles and those under the weather!!
Before I go, some pictures.....
The twins can frequently be found playing with any small animal...here they have the whole ark. : )
No words....just love this picture, makes me want to squeeze her!
Adam wrote this for the top of the basement steps (danger...pretty good spelling for a 1st grader) and I caught Carrie very appropriately carrying it around. lol
Mary working on a paper while Laura and Adam keep her company. : )
Can you tell they are "Helping Mary with her school work."
My sweetie!!!
Tie-dye shirts. This was so much fun!!! Thank you Mammaw and Pap for supplying the kit...it took us a while to "get around" to it but we now each have a tie dye shirt.
Ohhhhh it's hard to wait to see what they will look like!
We had so much fun dancing around the house. Carrie "busts a move" whenever she hears music!
My peachie pie!!!
Adam's Tuesday class learning about the colonists dressing as Mohawks and dumping tea in the Boston harbor. Notice Adam in his tie dye shirt.
