We're back from our vacation. The lake house was a blast~plenty of boating, swimming, tubing, etc. We were totally unplugged~no cell coverage, Wi-Fi or TV so we relaxed, read a lot, played games, etc. My dogs had a ball~they played in the lake, rode the golf carts and went for boat rides, lol. Friday and Saturday we spent time in North Carolina and went river tubing, mini golfing, etc. We decided to stay in a hotel the last two nights that kept dogs and that was nice~we didn't have to drag tents and stuff and deal with all of that.

Today we began school again~where in the world did the summer go?  We eased into things with some reviews in math, writing about a favorite summer memory, getting our work spaces cleaned out and ready, etc.  This afternoon Wes had an orthodontist appointment and he's doing really well.  They're estimating that his braces will be off in about 8 months or so.

Wes has also been reading his Driver's Ed book and taking some online tests to prepare for getting his permit.  How in the world did my child get to be 15 so quickly?

Tonight Wes has scouts so things are gearing back up from the slower days of summer.  Now, if the heat would just slack off a bit.

I'll have some pictures up of our vacation as soon as I can!!

Workouts:  I did an hour of Powerfit workouts last Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday but no other formal workouts last week.

Today was Slim Series Express Cardio Core and Cardio Sculpt. Tonight I'll walk Tucker and do Slim in 6 Slim and Limber.

What I read last week:  Everything Homeschooling (parts); part of  The Dirty Life; part of Mary Daheim's The Alpine Christmas. (http://www.amazon.com/Alpine-Christmas-Emma-Lord-Mysteries/dp/0345382706/ref=sr_1_11?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1312833469&sr=1-11)
