Thursday Night

I am SO glad that tomorrow is Friday. I'm not sure why, but this week has been draining. We've not had an especially hard week of school - I don't know why I'm so tired.....

The kids are determined to sleep outside another night. It is supposed to get down to 45* tonight. I don't know about this.....

All are working long hours. All are schooling long hours. That's about life this week.

We DID receive two new movies from netflix today. I also received notice that one of my wish list books is coming my way.

Hmmm....I better go look at pictures and see if I can figure out what we've done today.

We've reorganized our school shelf...finally switched out TOG Year 4 books with TOG Year 1 books. I found two duplicates of two books. ::snort:: This is year 3 and 4 in big binders - because I put each page in a sheet protector.

We checked out our apple mummies. The difference between the apple buried in salt and the one left out in the air is becoming more apparent. The buried one is larger, still moist...see for yourself.

We received another great hands on history kit from Jeff and Kate (Noah's from the side bar parents) at Hands and Hearts. I think I'll write a separate post about that tomorrow.

Update: This is not saving me time....I reloaded the code for these two photos and won't spell check. LOL

This week is flying! We've been working hard here. The kitchen is nearly finished. Just need to put up light fixtures and maybe another coat of ceiling paint. I did get everything cleaned and put back together :)

I had to go check my % or picture space used. I am 1% LOL.......I guess I have a long way to go to figure out something else, eh?

I hope you get the picture thing working...I love your pics :)

I am glad it is the end of the week too. I am very tired for some reason!

Oh my WORD - now what is Photo Bucket doing? They looked fine in compose and now this....I think it had something to do with spell check but it's too late and I've spent to much time already trying to get PB to load the photos so I'm going to have to fix these in the a.m. If this keeps up I may just PAY for a blogger/picasa account.

It's funny about your pics. I'm on the newer computer where I can see the sling and monarch pics...but now I can't see your latest pics. I get the red "x" in a white box plus a clickable URL that brings me to photobucket but no photo.

Btw, if it's not freezing, it's not cold :) James went camping this past weekend in Stuttgart. They woke up to a tent covered in ice/frost.

Renee - I fixed it. Evidently, I can't spell check AFTER I add code for photos. Gotta spell check first.

I bet it would help if I read the instructions online. LOL

sleeping outside at 45, children are crazy! Bet they're having a fun week doing this.

Cool how different the apples are looking!

The weeks are flying by here, too! This has been a crazy week and it's not over for me yet (LOL)! Hopefully we'll get a LOT done today so I can veg tomorrow.. that's why I'm up early!
