Last week I had a summer cold! AGGH! I hate summer colds, well I hate colds period but especially in the summer - it's so beautiful outside and you feel so miserable. Anyways I'm sleeping through the night now, I have my energy back and I can breathe. A small cough is still hanging around but I can already tell this morning that my chest is less congested so yeah, now I can get back to my regularly scheduled summer! On the agenda this week is more furniture rearranging. Actually what I'm doing is emptying my computer desk and the homeschool credenza and painting them to match my kitchen colors. We've moved the kids computers desks from the dining room into the living room so now have more space again in the dining room. I'm also hoping to resand and restain my dining room table and get new chairs (or maybe a new table and new chairs), we'll see how tight the purse strings are. These projects have been on my list for a while so they are my top priority in getting them done this summer and I can't believe it's almost July already!! Also on the agenda this week is Josh is attending a horse day camp. It was cancelled and rescheduled twice due to flooding, so I'm hoping it's a go on Wednesday. He'll be going with 3 other friends so that will be some nice time away for him. We also have a field trip planned to the Ellis bird farm - we went last year and it's a wonderful place to be in the summer! Afterwards there is a beach nearby that a bunch of us are going to - kind of a wind up of the year - it will be a fun, fun day. Oh I am also in the process of organzing some classes for our homeschool group for next year. It looks like Fridays will be the day for lots of fun stuff. So far we have a school board group coming out that have been organizing classes for homeschoolers in the city for many years now, well they are starting an outreach program and I'm getting them to come out the 2nd Friday of each month to do some programs. They have amazing instructors (talented homeschool Mom's of course) that do some fun classes! I'm hoping it helps the kids to create a bit more of a community for themselves and perhaps meet some new friends. I also have a series of film making classes in September and October. Again these classes were being offered in the far off city and I've got them coming out to our neck of the woods. I'm most excited for the Make your own Rock Video for Josh - I think he will really enjoy that and the film making aspect is something that has been on his list for a while that we haven't really pursued before. I also have Mad Science coming out - they are amazing and that will make for a fun science filled day. And lastly an Art lady that will be doing a Mask Making workshop as well as Painting on Rocks class both should be fun for all ages and will be a perfect spring time activity! I MUST get started on MY summer reading list as well! The books are beginning to stack up and the time is fleeting by. I really do want to make this a priority before I begin my planning for next year. I want to be inspired and encouraged before beginning again and I know reading will do that for me. Well I best get started on my week - now that I read it back it seems busier than I anticipated - isn't that the way it always is, ha ha. Enjoy the sunshine!
