Did you all have a wonderful Independence Day?  We sure enjoyed having Daddy back around here for the weekend.  Last week was his first week on the road for work in a long time.  It is quite an adjustment when you’re used to having him around 24/7. 

The whole graycrew enjoyed a lazy day of swimming and grilling.  Nearly everyone got hurt in one way or the other.  Kid1 sliced her toe open.  Kid2 fell off the swings and ended up with some major road rash up and down his back.  Kid3 scraped the skin off his fingers and managed to get quite a few slivers from climbing the fence.  Kid5 was being monitored for a nasty reaction to some bug bites on her leg and shoulder.  The dog had a nice sized tick embedded in her ‘armpit’. Do dogs have armpits? They do now! :)  But I’m not complaining.  There were no visits to Urgent Care for broken bones or stitches.  All in all, a relaxing day.

School is in full swing again this week.  We’ve restarted the history cycle and are studying Ancient History, cramming 2 weeks into one.  Kids2&3 need to finish up their Astronomy course and then it’s off to Zoology.  Woo hoo!  We are still on schedule to wrap up most of the year by the time baby6 is born. 

Okay, my header on this blog is pathetic.  It needs serious help.  Sounds like I’ve got a project for Kid2 and Mr Graycew.  Now all I have to do is convince them. Easier said than done.

Kids are inside from swimming so it’s time to get back to our studies!!
