Lost

I can NOT find all the books I need. I know I have Abeka Mathematics 4 curriculum and teacher key but I can NOT find it anywhere. I can live without the lesson plans but I need that answer key or I'll be doing lots of 4th grade math this year.

On the plus side, while I was scouring the attic for the books, I found our potty. Matthew had been using an old one from Grandma's house. It was functional but if the bowl wasn't in there just right, we'd have pee all over the floor. The one we found has a bowl that fits!

Matthew is doing great with the potty training. He doesn't always recognize the feeling of having to go but he always runs for the potty when it starts running down his leg. LOL And he has made it the potty pre-puddle several times! It's almost been too easy. ;)

Nothing school-like got done today. We spent another day at Foxfire, a local camping resort. This time we tried the pedal (paddle?) boats. The rule was that there be a responsible person on each boat. They picked 12 years old as the age of responsibility (HA!) and then they allowed an 11 yo, 10yo, 9yo, and 8yo to take a boat. Of course, there were responsible adults (that'd be me) on the lake with them, just in another boat. The responsible adults were lagging behind a bit considering their hatred of paddle ([edal?) boats and the four extra children on the four-person boat (that's a total of six - they're not real big on rules at Foxfire). There was a lot of mayhem but no one drowned and all the boys had a blast. We may try it again when they all hit 12!! ;)

Your other blog won't let me comment because I haven't joined their club! And yet, I have so much to say! First, you have WAY too much time on your hands if you can keep two blogs. Gag me on the joy to be a housewife thing. Been there, doing that. I know I am blessed to be able to stay home to raise my children, but NO ONE likes washing dishes, cleaning toilets, and picking up the same messes several times every single day. also, about the butter, you have GOT to be kidding me! Nice trick if youre out of butter and want a piece of toast..., but to save 3 cents, I don't think so.
Love You, really.
