Start of school year

Don't you just hate this time of year?  I do at times.

I have changed my daughters science book 3 times now.  I hope that I finally have one that will work (I am getting tired of this personally).

I bought The Stargazer's Guide to the Night Sky and got it home and realized that it was more for a high school level book.

I went to the local Christian Book store  (the Galilean) talked to them, looked around and thought about trying one of those books.  Went home looked some more and found out that is over her head too.

So last night I ordered Exploring Creation w/ Astronomy  by Apologia.

We will see how it goes maybe this is the one I am looking for.

When will school start??

Well I am thinking that it will officially start in on Aug. 6th that is the idea now anyway.

Friday (exciting day)

Took one of my jars of peaches last night and made a Peach Cobbler  (it was really good)

Big fight in the yard yesterday kids and I were gone.
     Scooby fought and actually did some damage to a neighbor dog (who jumps the fence into ours)  he had a sore paw but other than that he is ok.
     Abbey got cornered (she is ok now)
    Growler I don't exactly know what happened to her, but she hasn't quit following me yet.  Mommy is a safety blanket you know when things go wrong.
I left a not too nice note for the neighbor over the whole thing.  Basically people need to keep their dogs at home, but I am proud of Scooby just the same.

Thur. 7/26

Well today has been a good day.

   Temps are cooling off for us here, 

  Kids are just hanging out reading books and getting things done.

church service

I don't think I have ever posted what was talked about at church, but today is going to change that.

We talked about James chapter 3
     vs 1  talks about the responsibility of a teacher and how important it is to get things right.

Actually that was not the message that the preacher was getting across, he was talking about how the tongue can be your best friend or worse enemy.

So really the whole chapter was inspiring.

I hope that you had as good day at church, or with family today as I did.

Gave a good day everyone.
