You can start to see by the frequency of my blog posts that it's starting to get crazy around here. Here is a bit of a catch up. On Thursday it started off as a bit of a different day. We had all slept in, I was "behind" in my regular routine and the kids were playing nicely together (who wants to interupt that?)! So instead of starting off our day with our usual reading, writing and math routine and saving the "fun stuff" for the end I decided to have an upside down day and bring out the "fun stuff" first. Noah's science, history and geography project is all about the solar system, creation and earth so I had purchased a precolored model of the solar system for the kids to put together. They had fun doing it together and learned some stuff - like in order for the model to be "to scale" the sun would need to be 105" big - we tape measured that out and Noah was most impressed at how big the sun is in comparison to the planets....but his favourite is still Pluto - I know technically not a planet anymore but don't tell him that ok? Here is a couple of pics:
We ended up doing our regular schooly stuff after that but it put the day in a nice frame of mind for the rest of the work. On Friday we did some "project work" for school - that is we demoed our back entrance and built a new one. Well not just us - we had 3 other families come and help! But Josh started with the demoing on Friday morning - you can tell he enjoyed it!
Monday was a very lazy day and although we attempted to have a routine day a few things happened that interupted that. First off was a need to take Noah into the Dr.'s. He has a boil on his butt that we have not been able to get rid of with different antiboitic creams so after begging the doctors office for an appointment we hopped in the truck to take him there. Unfortunately the truck wouldn't start! It was the weirdest thing - battery ok, lots of gas, starter seemed fine. Anyways our Dr. appt got canceled and in it's place a tow truck had to come and take our truck to the dealership in town to see what was wrong. So switching gears again I decided to try and selvage a "routine" day. That went well until Noah went to do his Letterland cd on his computer - dead as a door nail! After that we called it a day and I went for a nap! This morning I'm hoping we get the truck back (we'll have to use the RV to go into town or catch a ride with someone going our way - I'll also have to try and get Noah into the Dr.'s office again - there is also library books to pick up and a long list of errands that I might as well do since I'm in town. I think this week is just going to be one of those weeks that we have to "go with the flow" or drown in the craziness called "life".
