First Boat ride

Sean's sixth birthday

Fresh from the backseat

Sean: I want to be the U.S.A. They're my favorite.

Aiden: Why?

Sean: Because they are better than the Bad.Guy.A. The bad guys are dumb. That's why I call them Democrats.



I kid you not.

Lately Gavin...

I am changing this feature's name from "Today Gavin" to "Lately Gavin". Let's face it - I'm just don't have the ability to post daily. You're lucky to get the monthly post. :)

1. Gavin has started using all kind of "tools" to unlock doors. We have to lock Gavin in his room to keep him from wandering all over the house in the wee hours of the morning after I found him wraped in a blanket, downstairs at 2 am watching some kind of infomercial. To accomplish this we've turned the door knobs around so that the lock is on the outside. Gavin has discovered that he can use - coins, zippers, certain toys, and (my personal favorite) the plug on electrial items.

He also ..

2. takes the ice cream out of the freezer at 7 am so he can have a "treat".

3. pours body wash in my neti nasal pot.

4. lets the chickens out of their pen to chase them around the yard. He'll even follow them under the deck so there is nowhere to hide. Poor birds.

5. if he gets to the eggs first he will scramble them for you.

and, last but not least,

6. is FINALLY potty trained.

I'm Back!

So it's August and I am sitting here wondering what happened to my June and July. This summer has gone so fast it's hard to believe school starts again in two weeks. We are continuing the great homeschool experiment this year - Sean will be starting first grade and Aiden is entering fourth (!!!!). I am hoping to be much more organized and productive this time around. We didn't lose any ground last year as Aiden is still testing very well and has actually improved in some areas - mainly reading and comprehension. Yay!

Without further ado - I give you snippets of our summer....
