Sorry for my lack of posts. I was sick all last week and am finally feeling good. I had yet another sinus infection which turned into an upper resperatory infection. I am still coughing a little, but not contagious or anything. I am so glad I can breath out my nose again. hehe

Last night, Chantelle and my hubby started a hunters education class together. She wants to learn how to bow hunt, my hubby wants his FID card (he wants a gun to hunt deer). One thing that bugs me is that Chantelle is old enough to take the class (she is 13) but can not get her FID card until she is 15. At least that is the rules in my town here in MA. My hubby went to the police station to get the application for the card once he finishes the classes.

She seems excited about the class. It is all she was talking about last night when she got home and through out the day today. There is a huge test at the end of the class and she seems more focused on passing that test than her huge midterm in English this friday. I guess hunting is a bit more exciting than English. LOL.

Matt wishes he could go, but he is not old enough yet. He does get to hang out at his friends house (our next door neighbor) until 9:30 every Tuesday night for the next month. He was having a blast there last night playing with Monster trucks and robots.

Today, Chantelle is going to go see the Spyderwick Chronicles with a few homeschooling friends. It was last minute for us as I have to work at 3:30, but thankfully a friend of mine will be able to pick her up and bring her home. I do live on the way to the theater they are going to. hehe.

This Saturday is the start of the Iditarod. We plan on following along with it as well as lapbooking it. I'll be posting a huge post about our plans and website links laster this weekend.
