Another beautiful autumn day here in Georgia. It's in the low 40s at night, and low 70s during the day.  If it could stay like this all winter I'd be a happy girl.


Today we did a lot of writing and cleaning.  I also had to take Wes and Maddie to the bank to deposit checks from babysitting and cat sitting.  Other than that we tried to have a quiet day at home since last night was Scouts and tomorrow is piano and church activities.


Tyler has been working on his book and it's amazing the amount of grammar he knows from no formal grammar course.  His workbooks cover some basic grammar but other than that we've never used a true grammar textbook. He does enjoy reading some fun grammar books (Painless Grammar, etc) and has listened to all the Grammar Rock songs from my era over and over.  But mostly, he just reads a lot and picks up writing and editing skills that way.  The kids have picked up a lot of their spelling the same way.  Yes, one of my favorite things about homeschooling is lots of time to read, write, create, and think.  God has certainly been good to us to let us live this kind of lifestyle.  I'll always be grateful.


Today's workout:  Powerfit Plus Cardio Kick and The Firm Weighted Gloves Cardio Workout; 1 mile walk with Tucker.
