Homeschooling in Illinois

Some Happenings

Posted in Household stuff

As I wait for my coals to be ready to cook over, I figured I would sip some lemonade and fill you in on what is going on.  Hubby and the boys left this morning for a Royal Ranger pow-wow.  They (the boys, not hubby) were sooooo excited.  They were anxious to camp out, eat snacks and see the Power Team!  My mom, the two young ones, and I went  garage saling.  This is the first time I was able to go this year.  I found a shirt for Baby B that had a crab on it and said something about being crabby.  I couldn't pass that one up!!  I found some other clothes and a few books.  Probably the best thing I got was the book Tuesday by David Wiesner.  N loves that book.  It's the one where the frogs come to town over night flying on lilly pads.  The boys won't be home until Sunday.  Tomorrow we will be garage saling some more, and then going to a wedding shower for an old high school friend.  Hopefully soon I won't be the only one from my class with kids!! 

I am so exhausted from working in the garden.  (I would tell you what I did, but I'll save that for another post with pictures.  Hubby has the camera now.)  I don't even want dinner.  I want to walk to the local ice cream place and eat a chocolate cone.  That's a good dinner, right?  yummmmm.......

That sounds like such a NICE day. I'd love to spend some time garage sale-ing with my mom. Every now and then we go to the Goodwill because, well, I absolutely LOVE used books and get such incredible deals and homeschooling stuff there. I am serious. Amazing, amazing stuff. And my mom always gets such an incredible cool deal on office furniture for her, well, home office. We haven't done that in a while ... You know your budget has gotten tight when you can't go to a Goodwill for fun. OY.

AAAAAnyway, glad to have you posting again, girlfriend!
Have I said that already? I'm right back to being addicted to posts about your life. LOL

About Me

Oh, the crazy things that happen in my house.... I am the wife of M for 8 years now. I am the mother of a 10 yo boy - D, 6 1/2 yo boy - N, 4 yo girl - Princess C, 2 1/2 yo boy -Toddler B, and girl Lil' L born May 18. I've been homeschooling since 2003. I lean towards a Charlotte Mason approach, but more often than not, it's "whatever works".
