Days 11 and 12

I forgot to blog last night until I was done reading and had turned the lights out. I did not feel like getting out of bed and turning the computer back on.

Yesterday;

• We walked to church. We all enjoyed that a lot. We saw two of our friends drive by while we were walking and that was very fun too. It took not quite 10 min.
• We spent a very lazy afternoon.
• In the evening we went over to the neighbors and the kids played.

Today;

• We did vary little school work.
• We went to Aldi and Wal-mart before lunch.
• We went to the Commissary before supper.
• last night our fish died. he died of lack of care.
  
• We had taco salad for supper.

Other things happened I'm sure. :/

Bikes

since I took a picture of Lars with his bike the girls needed pictures of them with their bikes.

Day 10

Today was kind of an odd day. I thought about northern MN a lot.

• We turned an old little girls bike into a boys bike today. It still has white tires but some things can't be helped. The other thing that is a problem is that I am really bad at spray painting. :) It was fun to do.
• Worked on the rag rug again today. Oh, and no I don't have a pattern I just started crocheting around in circles. I should have used a pattern and I should have redone some of it because it has some really bad looking spots. But I am too lazy.
• I tried to sleep in because three kids kept taking turns coming into my room with complaints all night long. But they were up and raring to go bright and early. oh well, I really haven't been tired today.
• The kids went outside right after breakfast this morning and did not come back in until I called them in at 3 pm. They went back out right after naps too.
• I had the kids pose for some pictures this afternoon. I had been looking at some other peoples posed pictures and thought I should get some of my kids because it has been a long time since we did any kind of portraits.
• I've been pre-reading some of our school books for this year. they are some really good books. They are Sonlights Core 1 books.
  

Day 9

• I mowed the grass again today. only in the front yard this time. I really don't like my grass because it is not thick and it sends up really tall seed things really fast but the rest of the grass doesn't grow very fast at all. Feels like a waste of time to be running back in forth to cut every 10th grass blade.
  
• I think I'm a little bit grumpy tonight. sorry about that little rant.
• Started working on a rag rug again. I am making it out of old t-shirts. I am using whatever color happens to come next so it is getting a farm house look to it. kind of fun.
  
• We used our new school room table today for school. It was very nice. We ate in the dinning room and did school work in the school room amazing really.

8th Day

• We have a table in our school room! We no longer have to do school work at the dinning room table. I am so excited about this. Also if some people are being to loud while other need it quiet we can divide them up.
  
• We went for a short walk today. We walked down to the driveway of our church building and back. We might walk to church this Sunday.
• School went well. We did some stuff with magnets for science today. I really like it that our science curriculum touches on a lot of different kids of science all year long. My kids are to young to have a passion for one type of science. This way they can learn about tons of stuff every year and when they do find something that they love we can start to focus on that one thing then.
• Lars is getting pretty good at riding his little bike.
• I made some chocolate cupcakes this afternoon. I didn't want us to forget what they taste like.
• A bunch of rotary winged aircraft have been flying over today. I'm not sure what is up with that. :)
• We wrote some letters this morning as part of our school.
  

Day 7

• I did a bunch of rearranging again today. Getting things to fit in a new house has been a little challenging since we have smaller living rooms (dinning and living) with more doors in them so it is harder to get stuff to fit in a comfortable way. I'm liking it the way I have it now. The other thing that changed with rooms, We are trying to have a school room now.
• We went to Wednesday night church today.
  
• We are reading Charlotte's Web this week.
  
• It rained here today. The kids ran around in the rain for awhile this morning. They thought that was great fun.

Day 6

• My children are at this moment playing in the garage with their bikes. Their bikes are upside down and the are using them to, "make candy." You will have to ask them how this is done as I am not sure quite how to do it.
• Another day of school went well.
  
• We ran to Wal-mart to get some ink for the printer.
• Had some nice phone calls tonight.
  
• We had one of the kids' and my favorites for dinner; Split pea soup, with ham, and corn bread.
  

School really takes up a lot of our time now. It is time well spent and we all enjoy it so it's good.
