Last Day Of Summer Vacation

Well today is our last day of Summer Vacation. We get back to homeschool lessons tomorrow. Caitlin will be doing Head of the Class, second grade as her main curriculum with all the others I picked for her. DJ is beginning sixth grade. I intended to swim and spend a lot of time outside for our last day of Summer Vacation, but the weather thinks otherwise. We are now feeling the rain and wind of Tropical Storm Lee. It took all that time to get to us. So, instead I am lesson planning, cleaning and putting up our Fall decorations. I know it is a bit early, but we only put up the indoors ones, as we want to make scarecrows this year with pumpkin heads, and it is too soon for that. I love the Fall, even though we don't get a lot of leaf color change, there is some. I look forward to the new school year, and sharing our adventures with all of my readers. Oh and Happy Labor Day, too.

Last Week Of Summer Vacation

This is our last week of Summer Vacation. It doesn't seem possible already. We have a quiet, yet fun summer. We had a nasty storm blow through last night and ripped to shreds some of the porch screen and pool canopy. It was a band from Irene, that is how big that thing is. My husband starts firefighter classes Tues and we will probably be having a quiet next six months as far as activities go. That is OK though, I am ready for a break from the money spending. I hope everyone is staying safe and dry through Hurricane Irene.
