Late Start, Chicken in the Mirror, and Mountain Fun


WORDS TO LIVE BY


Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:2

ANIMAL UPDATES

Amanda decided this morning that Link the Chick was bored. How she knew he/she was bored I have no idea but anyway - the problem had to be fixed. So she gave Link a mirror. Link seemed truly amazed to find another chick in the cage!


HOMESCHOOL

Last night seemed to be a night NOT made for sleeping - for any of us.  So after getting to bed late and not sleeping well we got a late start this morning. We didn't get as much schoolwork done today as I would have liked but we did get as little done.

SOME OF THE RESOURCES WE USED TODAY

Austin and Amanda

AROUND THE HOUSE

We also didn't get much done around the house - especially me. I did get two loads of laundry done and some dishes washed. Austin also washed some dishes and did the daily cleaning in the upstairs bathroom. Amanda did the daily cleaning in the downstairs bathroom and vacuumed the playroom and living room.

IN THE GARAGE

Doug didn't actually work in the garage this evening but spent a lot of time trying to get an order to go through for a part he needs to finish one of his projects.

OUT AND ABOUT

Yesterday after church and lunch and naps we (my dad and my younger siblings, my sister and her kids, a friend of ours, and me and my kids) went up on the mountain for awhile. I always love time spent in the mountains.











This afternoon Michael and I were at my sister's for several hours to watch the kids so she could go do some things.
