Man, it has been a very hectic couple of weeks! It's crunch time for homeschool, and I just finished 140 or so notebooking pages. A lot of work, but I think it will be worth it. I'm thinking of sharing some free pages and maybe charging a very small amount (a LOT of work!) through Paypal or something if anyone wants the huge thing. So, my task tomorrow is getting it up on my website so people can download the free stuff and take a look at the biggie.

DH came home this past Saturday night. That in itself doesn't sound like that big of a deal, but he's been gone for 6 weeks! It was so great having him home for a few days. He gets 4 days R&R time every 6 weeks right now. It worked out perfectly for him to be home for our son's 6th birthday (yesterday). We made a big day of it and ended up going to the Omaha zoo about 2.5 hours away. We stopped about halfway and had lunch at Chuckie Cheese with grandma & grandpa.  Then it was off to the zoo. We had such a great time. The kids are just now old enough to really appreciate the zoo and they didn't want to leave! I'll be posting some pics of the jungle area of the zoo - I think that's our favorite part.

DH left for another 6 weeks tonight. =(  It was sad. My daughter always has a hard time with it (she's 4). She's actually pretty "big" about the whole thing, but as he's driving away she breaks down and cries on the couch for a few minutes until I can get her all loved up and distracted with something else.

School starts next week for us.. .lots to do in one weekend so we can take off smoothly. I should be posting more now that I have the monster notebooking file done and my son's birthday is over. I hope all has been going well for everyone - I'll be checking out your blogs tomorrow!
