Our Little Cottage

Our Week So Far...

Sunday we decided to head to Georgetown...ROAD TRIP!  It was good to get out of the house for a bit.  It's only about a 20 min drive to Georgetown.  We went to Save-a-Lot to pick up some big bottles of vinegar.  At Aldi's they only sell the smaller bottles.  Danny just ran into the store to get 6 bottles for us, the rest of us just stayed in the minivan.

Next we stopped by McDonald's to pick up Zach & Liam Happy Meals to eat.  We went to Long John Silvers to get lunch for the rest of us.  Oh, it was SO yummy!  We just went across the street to a little sport park to eat in the van.  At the end of the parking lot was a small place with ramps and such for skateboarding...Frosty was very interested in this!

Then, after we all finished eating, we headed to Glenna's Nursery to pick up some plants for our garden....YEAH!  We bought a flat of different plants.  Tomatoes, cabbage, jalepeno peppers, melon, and egg plant.  I think that was all??? 

On our way home we stopped by a local farmer, just around the corner from us, to pick up some eggs.  I LOVE farm eggs!  Yummy!

After we got home, Danny and I got our garden ready to plant.  We made mounds for all our plants and seeds that we had left over from last year.  We put the tomatoes, egg plants, peppers, 1/2 runner beans {seeds} and cabbage in so far.  Hoping this coming weekend we can plant the rest.  The kids helped with the planting.  It was a fun time!

Monday was a sad day...Danny had to go back to work after being off for like 17 days!  He ended up getting Sunday off because he had to start a class that will run M-F for about 3 weeks or so.  He has to drive all the way to Dayton for the class {long drive}, so he has to get up SO EARLY in the morning.  He was so tired by the time he got home.

In the morning, I made my coffee and went to sit in the turtle habitat...alone.  I missed having Danny sitting and talking with me.

Arlee ended up having a conference with her teacher from the virtual school that day.  I just love talking with Arlee's teacher...she is so much fun!  This might have been the last conference for the year. 

I put together a plan of what we need to do each day for lessons to make sure we are done by May 28th {or at least attempt to be done by then}.  I'm hopeful, and am pretty sure we can do it...as long as there are not too many interruptions!

Tuesday....We got serious about our school lessons today!  We did A LOT!  Off to a great start of our goal!  YEAH! 

I did lessons with Frosty first.  We grabbed the books and such that he needed and headed out to the turtle habitat to do school!  It was great!  The weather was perfect!  We even got entertained by some turtles and baby bird stopped by to take a bath!

We came back in to finish up school that we had to do on the computer, history & science.  Then we had lunch.  After lunch it was Arlee's turn to do school in the habitat.  I'm looking forward to doing that again!

Well, that brings me up to today...Wednesday.  Of course we have lessons to do today.  Hopefully I can fit in a little cleaning.  Frosty has a boy scout outing later today.  And, well, that's really about it!

Time to get started!  Have a great day friends!

Stopped by to say hi....thanks for sharing of your day....I too love it when my dh is home...wishing he could be home working off the land, but don't make enough money that way....our vineyard is more a hobby than anything...so I am very grateful for the "weekends".

Have a great weekend yourself and Happy Mothers' Day
