Been awhile!

Yes, it has been awhile since I have been able to post, but finally I have a few minutes on the computer.
My kids have been sick, and we have had two waves of company come through. The company was fun, the sickness, not so much!
Actually, you can pray for dd2 if you think of it, she has ANOTHER ear infection, and an eye infection, caused by the same bacteria.
So what has been new, well not much exciting to talk about unfortunately. All school work has been regular book work, so not much exciting on that front, and then all of the other stuff. We had two of Greg's cousins here. One for 3 nights, and then a few days later his brother came to stay for a few nights. Company is always a welcome diversion (hint to all of you out-of-towners). It really is time to get to some more fun school work though. I am itching to get to the planting. So are the kids! DD2 asked me today if we could do plants..."because I am bored of all the OTHER school." So cute! Hopefully we will get to start it all tomorrow.
Dd1 did start her Home Economics curriculum that I bought her though, and will get a new lesson tomorrow! She is very excited about this book. So am I actually, it is so systematic. So often I remember that I am training up someone's wife, and if I can just help her learn this stuff now, she will have way less years of on the job learning, which will make her life so much smoother. I am sure that I will learn a few things myself. I will probably be safe for most of the cooking lessons, but we will be getting into things like 'organizing a drawer' and such so I am sure I can pick up some pointers! I had to kind of giggle when I was looking at the table of contents. I kept thinking, "WOW, if I have stuff to learn in level 1, what on earth am I going to do when we get to level 3? I guess I will just have to do the colouring sheets and everything with her then! LOL!!!!!"
Anyway, I will try to post tomorrow, especially if we can get some of the planting done!
