Trying to start posting again!

With renewed dedication, I am going to try to start blogging again! We are on our second week of school and I will try to do at least a weekly report. If anyone still looks at this, feel free to hold me to it!

Salt Dough Map

We made our first salt dough map. Lots of fun! It still needs to be painted and I will post those later.

Things have been super busy the past few weeks and we have been doing school "light". I had a great opportunity to pick up a second job until Dec 31. It is a lot of work and I am gone from home so much, but in the end we will have a tremendous amount of debt reduced.

I will be back more consistent after the first of the year.

Week 3

This was a really hard week. We have kept our eyes glued on TS Fay all week, the weather has been lousy, and there have been lots of distractions to our routine.

We went Wednesday afternoon to see what the beach was like with Fay approaching. The children had never felt the wind like that. It was fun but it was as close to storm time as I would want to be there. The storm moved so slow that it was not until Thursday night that the bridege was closed. I wouldn't let the kids out on the beach. The wind was enough but the blowing sand would have been an issue. These pictures were taken on Jekyll.

By the time Thursday afternoon was here, all of us were tired of being in the house and everyone was cranky. It all resulted in a Friday that was almost nothing but chores to help settle out the attitudes. It always amazes me how the love chores so much when they are in trouble!!

Week 2

No details again this week but I need to get the time together to get our curriculum on this blog! We did, however, have a really great week. This is a fairy ring that we found in our neighborhood.

Back to school

Not much to say here as it is super busy because I am still organizing the year, but we are starting...

While I was busy with the boys, Eliza got into the make-up!
