Well, I'm having trouble finding my word processing so I'm going to enter a post to recap what's been going on lately.

Right now, it's 7 a.m. Friday  and all are still asleep. Scott and Abbey left early this a.m. for work and school. It's such a blessing that he can drive her in for us. I made her some quick mac and cheese for lunch. I think she was happy about that.

Today, need to get my water. We're on well water out here so frequently we have to restock. It's okay though it gives us a destination in middle of day.

In school room, working on getting kids remediated in math. Sam and Josie are doing Saxon 87 and then I will move them into prealgebra after Labor Day. Sam disappointed he won't be going in algebra but maybe we can adjust as we get started. Thomas doing 65. Lucy got her kindergarten math book yesterday.

I'm looking forward to getting our school books. I placed a big order with Memoria Press early this week. Among titles, are ones for US history and Introduction to Classical Education. I'm excited.

This past week, was very nice. I can't remember much of it :-) but I do remember taking big kids to Latin Mass and then spending afternoon watching littles in our pool :-) very nice. Thomas spent night at friends and Abbey went to party Sat. night. Mom and Dad and Grambie came over for visit Sunday night and we played happy family. Also first time making chili in a while Sat. a.m I shopped alone at Sam's Club. We are closer to shopping here than at old house.

In meantime, Abbey started school this past Monday and we have been busy getting boys geared up for football. Sam on cadet and Thomas on 56 Josie is playing cadet kickball. Yesterday we celebrated the Feast of the Assumption with noon mass and blueberry donuts :-)

Around house, we need to vines off trees and finish mowing. I am thinking about a plan for little girls bed and getting little toys in toy room. We did big room switcheroo a couple weeks ago. It's going well. I'm also still organizing for home schooling.

Gracie doing well, I found a potty for her yesterday and we are going to start working on potty training pretty intensely. We are also working on expanding her diet from crackers and getting her to stay at table better.

bye for now
