Vacation, glorious vacation!!! Carl is on vacation for a week, and it has been lovely having him home with us. The boys were positively giddy when we went to pick him up Sunday night. Monday Carl did a ton of yard work, and all three boys are back at our landscaping projects this morning. Later, daddy and Luke will supervise as Trent dissects a crayfish for a biology experiment. Only a few biology chapters left and on to dreaded chemistry! So glad to see both boys progressing through their school work. Also glad to see them outside enjoying all nature has to offer.
Starting on a new scrapbooking project I hope to have ready to enter into the county fair in August. I want to create a "yearbook" scrapbook of our 2007-2008 Salt and Light Christian Academy school year. I've gathered pictures from many of our school activities, and I hope to add some additional pictures as we do school throughout the summer. I then plan to gather them into a cool yearbook so we can all recall all of the fun and interesting things we have done this year in our little homeschool. Lovely opportunity, this homeschooling:-)
