A Week?

Ack! I can't believe a whole week has flown by. I guess I haven't had too much news to report. LOL I did get to go to my first parent meeting for the local homeschool support group. It was very different from the one in Washington(which I miss greatly!). But it was still very nice. It is a Christian group, I had to sign a statement of faith, which was very good to read. I was nervous going in, but picked up my name tag, made my way to a table, asked if the seat was taken(it was not) sat down and started talking. LOL I met a few very nice ladies, one has just recently started homeschooling her daughter who is Abby's age, one is starting this fall with her 5 year old son, and one has 5 children, 7 years down to two months. So there is a great variety of women. There must have been at least 100 women there if not more! There was prayer, a great devotional, and then announcements. Usually there is a speaker, but since it was the first meeting of the new school year, there was not one and it was more talking about the year to come and activities, co op and things like that. We did sign up for co op. I let the kids choose their classes this time around. Since we do academics at home, I didn't make them choose any of those. They will both take a drawing class together the first hour and then Abby will be in choir and Jacob will be taking a Civil War History class. I was surprised at first that he chose that, and he was adamant that was what he wanted. Guess the subject came up in his reading recently and he wants to learn more. We have our first class tomorrow morning.

We had severe thunderstorms roll in last friday night and saturday, so soccer games were cancelled. I can't remember what else we did on the weekend. Mostly just stayed around the house. No bike ride because of the weather.

We've just been humming along doing our normal day to day things. Jacob had Boy Scouts last night and checked off a few more requirements for his Tenderfoot rank. He came home filthy though. Seems they ended the meeting with a rousing game of elbow tag, which he had never played before, and deemed the most fun ever. LOL Abby and I read more of Beautiful Girlhood while they were gone and then watched Biggest Loser.

Well, not much else to tell. We've got to leave for soccer practice in a few minutes, so I will close for now. Hope everyone is having a great week.

Be Blessed!
