I just haven't had the time or inclination to blog much lately.  School is going well.  The kids are getting better about chores, their attitudes are improving and Carmen is being more helpful, even asking to help with things.  I jump on that, let me tell you.  She is getting more and more inquisitive about stuff - especially at bedtime when my brain just gels.  I do my best. 

We've been busy working in the yard, getting trouble spots in the house cleaned up, Todd has been replacing windows and window trim plus finishing the painting.  Just stuff, you know?  We've had some wonderful warm, dry, sunny, really windy weather the last few days but there's a storm coming tomorrow or next day and we are trying to get the house ready for it. 

So ... what's the weather like in your part of the world this week?
