Wow! I didn't realize it had been such a long time since I've written. Life has just been really hectic.
4-H The county fair is now over - it was last week. We had a really good time, saw lots of animals, learned a few things, and ate a lot. lol
The children both placed third in their projects which was fabulous for their first year. We learned some things that will help them out for next year.
They both have a lot of projects they want to do for next year. Daughter wants to do two food and nutrition projects, a sewing project, rabbits and chickens. Son wants to do rabbits, rockets, rope, and cats. He bought two Holland Lop rabbits the other day and will be building their hutches this afternoon with Dad. He bought a male and female that he can breed. The boy was named Zeus so he stuck with that name for him and he named the female Aphrodite. (He enjoys reading mythology - one of his favorite books from AO is Age of Fable.) We went yesterday and bought all the lumber and things that we need to build the hutches. Daughter doesn't have her rabbit yet - she's hoping for a female baby to breed later. The breeder had two Holland Lop babies but they weren't big enough to determine the gender yet so we have her holding those two and another older Lop that we will take if those two turn out to be males.
Back-to-School Today is our first official day of homeschooling this year. We now, officially, have a high-schooler and a junior-high-schooler. There's been a little confusion for the Jr. high student about the new card system and a little whining about written narration but so far, so good. The Sr. high student has been having a blast! We'll see how the rest of the day goes.
