Whew, busy times around here. This week we're learning through a Fall Unit study from everythinghomeschooling.com. Maddie and Wes had to read about how seasons occur due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and it's movement around the sun and write a report on it. They also watched The Universe on History Channel~the episode was on solar eclipses. They're all three planning to be in Columbia, SC on August 21, 2017 about 2:30 pm to see the next phenom in the US!

Tyler was working on the history of Jack Frost~a Scandinavian tale,~and writing using the Writing Daily Spark. He was writing sentences about Pit Bulls and other things, using supposed to in the sentences.

After Math, lunch, and reading time, we began some sweeping, etc. Maddie had given Penny a bath this morning so we decided to really clean the floors and get as much dog fur as we could cleaned up while she was drying on a towel.

I've got a busy week coming up with a step challenge through our pedometer company, Tom out of town for 48 hours, tutoring on Tuesday, piano for Maddie and Tyler (who wants to try it) on Wednesday, and Co-op beginning on Friday. Funny story~I have to lead two sessions of Draw Squad for the teacher who'll be out of town~and I can't draw a stick person!!

This is also day three of no artificial sweetners and it's getting a bit easier. Note to self: Next time you undertake something this drastic, make sure it's not during one of the busiest and grumpiest times of your month, lol. Thanks God for your everlasting arms that carry me through the busiest of times~and turn my grumpies into acceptance. That's truly grace.
