Owings Ohana Homeschool

Jul. 10, 2006

No excuses...okay maybe a few....

It's been a full month AGAIN since I last blogged.  For some reason I just can't seem to make this a priority.   I had a response left on my blog more or less asking about life here in Hawaii and a request to blog more about that.   I can't promise but I will say I'll try do that more often.   

 

My boys, husband included, headed off to Boy Scout camp this week.  It's the annual summer camp.  This year however, they went to Maui's camp.  How cool is that huh?  I can't wait to see pictures when they return.   We put them on a plane this morning.  It only took about 30 minutes for them to fly there.    That leaves my daughter and I a week to have girl time.   We decided to jet off to Maui as well (fair is fair!)   We leave on Tuesday morning, stay the night and head home Wednesday night.   I've never been so this will be new.  I want to hit the old whaling town of Lahaina and we are going to do the Maui Ocean Center as well. 

 

We've been on summer break a few weeks now.  I hope to take a day this week and get started on reorganizing the bookshelves and school stuff for the upcoming year.   I know I'll need more than a day but at least that's a start.   I have one last curricula order to put in with CBD.com   I really need to do that.

 

I've done a few home improvements (painted the kitchen/living area) this week.   It feels good to accomplish something ya know? 

 

I can't believe it's July already.   Child #2 turns 14 next week.... FOURTEEN!   (#1 turns 16 in Sept)  Where does the time go??  It just seems to be fleeting by so quickly now that they are older.

 

Much Aloha everyone and I hope your summer has been fantastic so far!
