At Home In Idaho

Nothing Much To Report

For those who are popping in, it's summer here, which means for me, a lot of housework and playing with the baby.  The kids have been playing way too much computer (hey, it's summer!) and bopping around on the trampoline. 

My motorcycle adventures were abruptly ended (on a ride with Dad, no less) due to a dirty carb that must be dealt with, probably during a long afternoon with lots of swearing.  This displeases me greatly, and also will motivate me to drop the gas when I put the bike up for winter this year.

Jessie has now lost a grand total of two teeth, and Josh decided - of his own volition - to play Tooth Fairy with his own money.


So Jessica is now $20.00 richer and none the wiser.  He's a cool kid.

Looking at curriculum, had a bad moment when I thought Landmark was offline and no longer providing curriculum.  We start school on September 14th, and I'll be homeschooling THREE kids this year.  Should be interesting.  At this point, Jay and I have agreed to homeschool Joshua through junior high; we'll see how advanced he gets for high school.

Which means next year I have to start keeping a transcript.  *eek*

Other than that, we have visitors coming up for the next few months; Inge, Steve & Debbie, and my dad and Bonnie are all coming through here. 

Still need to convince Jon to come by with Claudia; I'm hoping the allure of epic powder conditions (plus new boards for Jay and I) will be enough to get him here sometime in January.

If you decide to do high school at home...check this out. I put Angie and Carlo into a correspondence program that they absolutely LOVE. It is TOTALLY affordable, accredited, lesson planning done for you, they keep transcripts, it's self paced (Angie will be done this year at 16) and it is actually pretty rigorous.

Glad to hear all is well.....much love to you and yours
