Friday, July 24, 2009 - Weekly Wrap-up
From the Heart:
Summer is passing so quickly! I've really started to notice the days getting shorter which is always a good sign that summer will be wrapping up before we know it. It does look like we will have another amazing warm dry few days coming. This has been an amazing summer. We have had a week of cool rainy weather. It was a welcome relief that allowed us all to rest and work on stuff in the house. We will finish up week 4 in Sonlight this week.
On the HomeFront: The projects on the house have been completed. I can really tell the difference this week with the cooler weather. Our furance has not needed to run as much. (attic and crawlspace insulation and some odds and ends, repairs) It is great to have my house back and not have to work around another person's schedule.
In the Schoolroom:
We spent the week doing school and we should not have waited so long. It was hard getting the kids back in the swing of things on Monday, but the rest of the week went well. I try to not take off more than 3 or 4 weeks at a time, but the weather has just been so amazing! We will start our study of Alaska History today. I plan to try and work on it on Fridays.
In the Literary Scene:
I need to get back to reading The Real George Washington. I'm only about 1/4 of the way thought it. I got totally sidetracked with The Hidden Hand. It was one of my favorites. I love Lamplighter books! I'm now working on Teddy's Button.
From the Garden:
My lettuce is huge! We need to eat more salad. I found several slugs this week too. I have not been keeping up on that, but otherwise all is well.
Just for Fun:
We picked blueberries last week. I'm planning to make blueberry syrup today and freeze the rest for muffins.

Happy Schooling!
