This year I resolve to keep a blog all year long.  Oh, and lose weight!  Well, unless I get pregnant.  And I resolve to spend more time in the Word and practicing Christ-like behavior.  Uhm...I resolve to drink more water and exersize more.  Keeping a household schedule...is, well...is that actually do-able???  OK, I resolve to try.  Oh, yes, and I resolve to get my Christmas shopping done before December 24th. 

Ok...there is simply a glob of things I have resolved to, but it might get a bit tedious listing it all here.  So, anyway, an uber-big focus this year is more serious table time, less free-wheelin' in the schooling.  We have gotten way off track.  For some families that might work, but our children do not seem to self-direct as much I would like to see and we are, I suppose, still boxed in with our thinking?  Maybe concerned is a better way to put it - making sure we have prepared our children for their adult lives.  What a huge responsibility and how foolish we would be in being too casual about this.

Today, we had  a lovely breakfast of scrambled eggs, turkey bacon and toast.  Now that our gullets are full, we are preparing for the day - brushing teeth, combing hair, etc. 

We will be primarily doing Bible study and science today.  The boys will be reading aloud from the Bible, spending time reading National Geographic articles, and then outside for collecting field samples.  Lol...and of course, some muddy play down by the creek. 

For lunch, we'll have leftovers from supper last night, and then supper tonight will be meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans and salad.  Hopefully, Daddy will be home from work and able to join us for dinner.  It's always nice when he can.

Don't you just love it when your kids ask you questions like, "Mom, did you have to do your homework on clay tablets?"
