Hmmm....

What's going on around here?

We're healthy. Thank you, Lord!  I got really sick 2 weeks ago and was expecting the kids to go down like ninepins.  Sarah got sick one day but other than that, we had a few complaints of hurting tummies but mostly everyone was fine.

This is a busy week with eye appointments, picking up eye glasses, and the last homeschool skating party of the academic year.

Friday night the older 4 girls are making cookies for Kairos, a prison ministry, as part of an American Heritage Girls project.  It'll be fun!

Daniel is climbing stairs, bless his heart. And he still shoves small objects in his mouth with monotonous regularily. He especially likes paper!

I am wondering if Daniel will walk soon. He likes to cruise by holding onto couches and chairs.  He pulls up on everything.

Sarah has maybe been a bit calmer lately?  She is a full blown 2 year old, though.  She changes her mind frequently, and gets irritable (Ok, more than irritable) when I don't allow her to change her mind multiple times. Sorry honey, I've had 6 kids before you and I know ALL the toddler games.

Our kids have been playing outside a great deal. Temps have been lovely and they enjoy riding bikes and scooters up and down our long driveway.

There don't seem to be enough hours in the day to do all the chores, complete all the schoolwork, read all the great books, and play outside for hours and hours. That's Ok.

In a month or so, we can open up the pool!
