Raising Roses

Oct. 28, 2008 - It's been too long

I have had so little spare time in the past 2-3 weeks that I just haven't been able to keep up on blogging.  I hope you are all doing well! 

We are getting into a groove with our lessons. We also are taking a break from outside extra curricular activites (basketball, football, tumbling etc.) and I feel like I have so much more time already.  My husband is working on our school room in our basement.  I will feel as if I died and went to heaven when that is completed!  No more lugging books from our bedroom to the kitchen or having a kitchen table covered in books and papers that has to be cleared each time we eat. 

It's getting colder and I'm enjoying the days getting shorter because I feel like I have more time - maybe because after we have dinner there's more time in the evening to get stuff done.

One of my sons found 2 fuzzy caterpillars the other day.  We discovered that one was the larva of a Giant Leopard Moth. The other was a Wooly Bear.  The kids made make-shift homes for them in jars and we set them out on the deck.  We'll see if they will make it until spring.    Very cool!

It's so good to read one of your posts!! I know how you feel about being busy! We have been extremely busy here, but it's a productive kind of busy! This has to be one of the first years in a long time that I feel so organized, and the kids are learing so, so much!! Blessings to you, Beckie!! Alicia

I hear ya on being busy. We seem to stay pretty busy with getting ready for winter and all. Glad to hear you are getting a school room set up, We have ours in the living room. But I only have one child too so there isn't alot of room needed.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Hey there,

I haven't been very faithful with blogging and am missing you. as you know, i moved over to blogger and haven't posted in a while...i like it so much better but it is like starting over and isn't much fun...LOL. Anyway...are you ready for Thanksgiving? I sure am, my husband has been traveling a bunch and he is home with us for the week. I am so excited about that. I give you a couple of days...if you don't visit me on my blog...I'll hit you with an email.

God Bless,
Joyce
