In my life this week.....
Ahhhh!!!! Supposed to be in Tennessee this week soaking up the sun in the parks with the kiddos. No instead here in Ohio, soaking up the sun doing yard work. I am loving the warm weather, but my allergies are leaving me fogged over and exhausted. I seriously feel like I can't think at times. My brain feels in constant overload, and there are no over the counter remedies that I can use because of my other sensitivities. Even with the brain fog, soar muscles, and exhaustion....at least the house will look nice on the outside. Because it is total chaos on the inside.
In our homeschool this week....
We worked our way through their weekly assignments. They ended up not finishing Friday assignments because of the book sale we went to. So I will move those assignments into next week. No big deal. We are still working hard at keeping up our weekly assignment sheets. I went a different route with the boys. I actually typed up their assignments for each day and printed them, and used my binding machine to make them a nice neat notebook. They could work ahead if they chose, of course they both chose not to.
What I am reading this week....
I didn't take the time to read this week. I have a Nicholas Sparks book I bought....hoping to start it soon.
Places we're going and people we're seeing.....
Went to see a movie with some other homeschool friends on Friday and our homeschool group had it's first Curriculum Trunk Sale. It was a huge success. Twice the amount of people as last year. Everyone seemed to have a great time!!! We visited the Botanical Gardens in our area for the first time. Lydia and I can't wait to go back. While there, Lydia took a fused glass class. She had a great time. Joey and his dad went to see the new Iron Man movie. They had a great time together.
What I am cooking this week....
I made chicken and dumplings (yet again....Bug's favorite), Cincinnati chili (Joey's favorite), and little things here and there. Been a rough week for cooking. Lots of outside work to deal with. So I have been exhausted.
What I am working on....
Well planting flowers, clearing weeds in the kids play area, mowing, cleaning up the back deck, clearing high weeds and starting to plant veggies in our back area. Only got green beans and a couple strawberries planted. We had nice weather all week. We were also going through and looking for things that were broken beyond repair for the junk pick up. And my parents surprised all the grandkids with newer pool for the backyard. So today we broke down the old one with my brother and sister-in-law and cleared the area for when the installers come in a week or so. I had an ongoing list though that I need to work on.
Because I spent so much time outside (courtesy of pre-planning their schoolwork), I feel like I am behind of blogging. So trying to catch up this weekend a bit.
Rewarded the kids this week....
Since Brayden finally caught up his schoolwork with me, they did get slushes (we have an crushed ice machine). They also got ice cream downtown once. They were well rewarded this week, although for not helping to clean up...that's for sure :)
Something I'm oogling or have my eye on.....
A patio couch...need a new one. My parent's took their wicker couch and chairs off the back deck, so we need some new seating for the back area. Most are way out of budget right now, so going to start watching Goodwill and Garage sales.
Photo from this week....
Brayden loves corn on the grill. I just throw the ears on about 30 minutes, with my grill temp set about 400 degrees. He will eat a couple ears at a time. Well I let him pick the ears that day, and when we got this one off, he got a bonus ear in the same husk. He thought that was cool.
