School's Out

Wow - It's hot outside. I guess it seems like it's always freezing, raining, or burning hot here, but that's b/c I only comment on the weather when it's extreme. And it's extremely hot this week. I hate the outdoors with all it's bugs anyway. Matthew got stung by a yellow jacket earlier this week. We found the nest and sprayed it but I'm still scared to cut the grass. LOL

We haven't been doing much schoolwork lately. We're officially on summer vacation until the middle of July. We're getting ready for a visit to my parents house in South Carolina and then we'll have a week of Bible school. After that we're going to work on finishing up our spelling and history books before we go on vacation to Tennessee in August. After vacation, we'll start our 6th (!!) year of homeschooling.

Even though we're not officially doing school, the boys have been reading like crazy. We joined the summer reading program at the library and the boys are determined to win tickets to Camden Park. The more they read, the more raffle tickets they can put in the drawing. The Camden Park drawing is going to be full of my boys' tickets so if you're playing at the Milton library, you may as well enter one of those bug toy or book drawings instead. {wink}
