I went to our apartment complex to help my Sweets with a job. The sewer line was clogged. We went to the back of the apartment. My hubby took of the lid and there was all kinds of disgusting things in there that are from the tenants toilets. I won't go into details of what was floating in there since you all already know what is flushed down toilets. My Sweets did the gross part of shoveling some of it out and putting in the line. All I really did was push the power peddle to keep the line going. Imagine this stuff in 88 degrees. Phew!!! The main problem is the tenants have a habit of flushing baby-wipes down the toilet. He is going to make flyer.Hopefully that will help.

On a nicer note; how many of you are getting ready for the Fall? I am. I have slowly been ordering our stuff. Some new things I am looking into are Bob Jones University for reading. Click here to see. I might use this with Josh, Annette & Caleb. It would be hard to switch from Rod & Staff reading. I love R&S but Josh is tired of reading Bible stories all the time and as you know (if you read my blog regularly) that I switched him to Sonlight Readers. He loves the books, but I need more instruction still . I thought we would finish with Sonlight and move on to BJU.

Annette is doing well with R&S reading but keeps hinting that she wants books like Josh. I'm not sure if we will switch with her. I love how much of the Bible she is learning with R&S. She reads enough other books to keep her interested in reading. If we do switch  Here is what she will use.

Caleb is still learning how to read fluently but once he gets the hang of it I might have him start with this. It looks like something Caleb will enjoy. Still up in the air because as I have mentioned many times. I love Rod & Staff's Bible based reading program. I do think it might be too much for Caleb though.

Another item I am looking at is from Heart of Dakota.  Drawn to the Heart of Reading I like how you don't have to purchase their readers to use this. I can continue using Sonlight readers or Bob Jones.

To help the kids memorize their multiplication I am considering Times Tales or Times Tables.

So those are a few things I am looking at for next year.

In Him,
