We’re back!
We had a great time! We went to the Falls of the Ohio where we learned about rocks, fish and fossils. The kids were more interested in the fish than anything else…but they really enjoyed themselves. Here is a picture of the kids as we were leaving.
That’s the Ohio River behind them. Right after this picture we were too hungry for our little peanut butter and jelly sandwiches so we decided instead to go to Golden Corral!
We finally made it home after 1:00 and the kids did their math and a little creative writing in which they wrote all about their day. The last thing they had to do was play a game with their vocab and spelling words. We all had a great time with the game.
We had a very nice day! 
This thing is pretty neat…

Go try it out…it could be pretty accurate for you! 
As most of you are aware, we started a new curriculum a while back. It’s called Weaver and it is working out wonderfully! I didn’t get involved enough before because the curriculum simply didn’t call for it…this does and we’re loving it. Not only that, we just started helping a friend by homeschooling her daughters during the day. Today was our first day and we really enjoyed ourselves. It went much quicker than I expected and we were finished early!
Tomorrow I’m taking them on a field trip! Stop back by tomorrow night to read about it and maybe see a few pictures!
We would like to move, but with the housing market the way it is, we probably won’t get our home sold. So…to make life easier here I would like to get more outdoor stuff in my yard….I’ve been looking at a fish pond, patio furniture, a seating area between the house and the pond, and a lot more. I have an old pond area, it’s original to our 1910 house, made from bricks. We actually could see the bricks in the yard and decided to dig around them and found that it was a pond. It’s pretty cool to have. I won’t put any fish in it, just some water plants….I hope to bring in the frogs to help get rid of the insects in the yard.
Any idea how to get rid of bats? We can’t go outside to the far end of our yard near our pole barn at night for fear of being dive bombed! This bat is there every year, and he will dive bomb you if you go in his general vicinity! If anyone reading this can give me any tips on getting him out of here that would be great!
Some friends of ours are having trouble keeping bills paid now, since the wife has become sick with Crohns disease. There are many hospital bills and things that they have to pay, plus meds that she needs. They had to get rid of some of the things they’ve had for years, such as Cable, extra phone line for the children, internet and life insurance. There are a few of those that would be difficult for me to live without. What about you? Could you live without cable or the internet?? The life insurance would be tough, too.
