We are finally into the swing of school and I am finding that it takes up a good portion of my day right now. We are still dealing with the quirks of our curriculum. You cannot misspell a word by even one letter or it marks it wrong, so I have to go in and manually check everything to see whether the error is a spelling or comprehension error. Other than that the kids seem to like the curriculum and get up and get started on school without a lot of prodding from mom.
I have been working on a few projects, I whipped up a couple more of the colored pencil holders. I made a beach tent for the beach on Friday, but I cannot take pictures of it until then, I have nowhere to set it up. I have also been working on cutting warp for the loom. I finally have it all cut and now I am working on getting it on the loom. I would take a picture but there really isn’t anything exciting about a jumbled mass of yarn draped all over the place.
I must admit I have been staying up way too late watching the Olympics! But really, it is so exciting to watch things like Michael Phelps and the other guys on the relay team beat the French!!! Now if all of these exciting events happened before Midnight it might be better, but it is only a couple of weeks. Maybe I will have to up my coffee quotient in the mornings to keep me going.

The weather here has been cool and rainy for several days and it doesn’t look like today is going to be to much different. I think it is going to be a lazy day. Dan was up early this morning to catch a flight for Houston, so I am operating on about 5 hours sleep (definitely not enough for me). The kids should be finishing up school soon, and then I just might curl up and take a movie nap or something. I have plenty I need to do, but just can’t find my motivation today. Hannah made some pancakes for lunch and I just ate a couple with blueberry syrup–yum!
Well, I need to go help with some spelling words and get the kitchen cleaned up in case I decide to get ambitious later and get some bread baked.
