We're enjoying reading about the places we been to!Īnd it gets better - our Sarah Jane came home for her birthday. I swapped out Misty of Chincoteague for Ginger Pye in Noah's Read-alouds. David's aunt and uncle put us up for three nights, fed us, and showed us what to do and where to go. I love that he asks, "Can we read more?" after every history book-reading.Īnd then - I count this a gift from God - we went to Chincoteague and Assateague Islands, and kayaked, swam, dug in sand, petted island ponies, climbed the lighthouse, biked around Chincoteague, watched fighter-jets zoom about, and generally had a good time. I worked almost as many hours choosing curriculum as I did at the receptionist job.Īnd now I am happily homeschooling Noah with a combination of Sonlight (History, Geography, and Language Arts), Teaching Textbooks (Math) and A Beka (Bible and Science) I think Noah likes science least of all, and history most. The next week I spent what I had just earned on homeschooling curriculum. It was interesting though, to copy out a deed, and I learned some new Word skills from my step-mother along the way. This would have been cushy, but like an idiot, I mentioned that I knew some Word, and was quickly put to task. In mid-August, I worked for a week in my step-mother's law office. He played with a youth orchestra for the first time, and was complemented on his reading skills. In the end, he was playing his cello 4-5 hours daily, including evening practice at home. I chose a percussion elective for him to give him a break. This is basically an intense learning camp for stringed instrument students, in which they are in back-to-back classes all day, breaking only for lunch. What else did I do with my summer? At the end of July, I accompanied Noah to Suzuki Institute. That's all the mumbling a person can do in one night. I'm gonna make David fix the meals next time.(subject flails at husband) Hi! (hug, kiss, hug) How are you all? Feed, serve, feed, serve, fetch this, fetch that. When will they get here? We haven't seen them since Abby's wedding! (snore). now we gotta haul most of it to the Goodwill. And that's only because we offered a free meal if they bought something. I can't believe we spent a weekend selling stuff and only made $70.

(writes on imaginary sticker) "Free - no returns!". Then, she stirs.Īll right, now where are all the stickers? Ok, let's price this vase at $3.50. The subject goes understandably comatose for two hours. what's in this box? Not that! No - not them - BEANIE BABIES! They're haunting me. What's that in the bottom of it? Spices? No. Clean out the attic? David - are you serious? GARAGE SALE!? (low growl.) I guess we should. The following is what one might hear a sleeping person mumble, and thereby communicate how they spent their summer: Josh and I drove down to see it and then fetch her and her worldly goods back here to the hill. But she stayed there to be in a Shakespeare-ish comedy. It does not store any personal data.It's started innocently enough.
