Our Labor Day


..... was very nice, the girls went with grandparents down to the lake and so we were down to four. The dean took kids to football game on Friday, while Six and I went to Lowes and bought discounted blueberry bushes. I still need to get them in, but I'm really hoping we get some good blueberries off them. On Saturday, we started our big no carb diet. The dean is a former wrestler so he's used to doing this but I've never done this before so we'll see. I hope it helps us both feel better and have more energy. Saturday night more relaxing and then Sunday we went to Mass. I kept Six in back and let the dean and the boys and Five have to some peace in the pew :-) Sunday afternoon I took Two to Half Price books for a little browsing. Monday, Two went to movies with friends and the dean and I rearranged family room for winter. I like our layout, we get to  enjoy the fireplace and every seat has a nice "vista" so to speak as we have really nice surround windows in our family room. Then Monday afternoon I went Labor Day furniture shopping. We ordered a living room set. which we really needed. Girls home and the dean went to sign for it.

This week, in the schoolroom, chugging through math, history, biology, hope to start Latin next week.

on the field, lotsa kickball and football.

In the kitchen , our new diet food, spinach salad, kebabs, almonds, fruit, lotsa hard boiled eggs and water .... this is hard :0( I love my carbs)

Around the house, I'm still organizing, organizing, organizing. I m always so inspired when I read other people's blogs to see they are always organizing too. It really can be a never ending process with the family growing and changing but I have to remember to stop and have fun too :-)

That's about it for now ....
