Hatfield House (in the city)

October 5, 2008

This weekend, we have made quite a jump in preparing for the colder months... finished up a big pile of wood, cut and chopped. DH taught me to use a chainsaw! LOL!

This is what we have so far...

This still needs done...

We also finished up the garden, and I got 9 quarts of dilled tomatoes put up yesterday, and plan on finishing up today with some tomato relish... here's what we had left...

Abi made the family bread yesterday. 4 loaves. 2 white and 2 wheat. She's getting pretty good at knowing her way around the kitchen! And believe it or not, we are going to need to make 4 more today! (There's still 2 loaves left.)

Today, I am making the children's school schedules. So Dad (and I) can stay on track with what's going on. We get so lost sometimes, and find it hard to "regain composure" one might say... LOL!

Although the past 2 weeks have been purposely taken off so we could get caught up on everything needing done around the house, and that's ok.

I am going to try using the CIMT Math for our son, and place him at a slightly lower level than he is used to, but by doing this, he can play catch up, and whiz right through it and get a review while working toward the next level!

There really is a method to my madness, I promise!

Most of it is my fault for not keeping up with what I promise myself I can do....I make schedules, and then they fall off the face of the earth within a week.... bad habit....

30 lessons have just printed. So I had better go and get myself around, eh?
