The life and times of the crazy family...

That would be us of course!  We have been uber busy lately...so I've not been around much. :(  Sorry bout that ya'll!

Here's what's up.  My dad came to visit for a week, back about two weeks ago.  He came with the purpose of looking for a house, so that he, my mom, and my sister could come and live near us.  So, in about three days, we looked at about 12 houses.  Instead of finding one for them, we found one for us!  Course, many things have to fall in place first, but God is bigger than all the obstacles I can see...anyway.  So dad got a job, now we're waiting to see if mom and dad want to buy our house, or if maybe we should try to sell our house and buy the other...we'll see.

So anyway...that's what's been goin on...busy busy busy.:D

Homeschool update: School's out for summer

you're singing that now aren't ya?  So, my AJ finished third grade...i think i posted on that already.  Just ordered next years curriculum...whew.  that's done. Now, for the rest of the summer, AJ is learning to make bread...and that will be part of her weekly stuff to do next year...one day a week she'll make bread!

Fun stuff, summer is...we're watching movies and cartoons...I love netflix!  did i mention that before?

Next year we'll be doing things a lil differently.  We'll do one subject per day for the first four days, then Fridays will be our handwriting/baking/errand running day.  No idea if this will work, but I'ma tryin!
