This Week At Home, 2012, No. 42
Little notes written to remember each precious day!
Monday...
For a Monday after a camping trip, we didn't do too badly. Yes, we were tired. Yes, we did not do everything that could have been done, but we did what was important. Laundry was top priority, even over math, unfortunately. That's OK. We can skip a day and make it up at the end of the week. That is why I have a flex day each Friday. It's our built in catch up day and I love it!
The weather was rather rainy today, but the guys were able to chop some leaves after dinner. The leaves are almost all on the ground. It will be nice to have that big job done for the year.
Tuesday...
More rain today. I need to check our rain gauge. I noticed broccoli and green tomatoes in the garden that need to be collected. They are the last taste of summer.
We accomplished a lot more today. The camping laundry is done and put away. Lessons are going well. We are enjoying, George Washington's World and another historical fiction book, The Ravenmaster's Secret.
Jeff went in early so that he could get home early and take the kids to play disc golf while I was at my monthly bunco group. They got in 9 holes before more rain came. I hear they may have also stopped for milkshakes on the way home.
Wednesday...
Today is supposed to be sunny and warmer, in the upper 70's. It's almost a shame to spend it inside with books. We have the usual Wednesday things to keep us busy... lessons, chores, art class, and a playdate with friends all before AWANA.
As usual, AWANA wore me out, but the girls I get to work with are so nice, that it is all worth it.
Thursday...
This is the last day of Indian Summer. Tomorrow the rain and cold comes back. That's OK. It's time. We worked on the front yard after lunch today. The wind had undone the hard work of a couple days ago. The back yard will need our attention, too, but there is only so much the kids and I can do without the riding lawn mower's help. You see, neither Ryan, nor I can start it, so we have to wait for Jeff's strong arm to come home.
We have the windows open and a lovely breeze is coming inside. If I close my eyes, it seems like summer with a warm breeze, the hum of neighbor's mowing, and birds singing.
Tonight is our usual go get groceries while the kids are at karate, except, two children claim to be too tried to go. So, we are allowing them to stay at home as long as they do not turn on a screen. When we got home, they had brought out their very old math manipulative basket and were playing "math" games!
Friday...
It's raining. It's cold again. We have a couple subjects to do today and then we will do a super tidy of the house because Trevor and I have a family birthday party here on Sunday. Saturday we are going to a disc golf course at a state recreation area that is located an hour and a half north of here. There will not be time to tidy the house on Saturday. Hopefully with us gone on Saturday it won't get messed up!
So there's a look at another busy week! How is it that these days just fly by? I want to slow them down and savor them. I guess that is why I write.
Take care,
Jenn

My Camping Birthday
I called a one hour fog delay to our start of school today, the fog being in this teacher's mind! Plus, we had a ton of post-camping laundry and unpacking. So, a later start to our school day was in order. A slower start to our week won't interfere with our goals to be diligent! Here's a look at our weekend away.
I was blessed to have such a wonderful birthday, so sufficiently celebrated. What more could I want than to be treated to a weekend away at a favorite state park with my family. Well, not all of my family, the oldest was excused as he wanted to stay warm and dry and spend time with grandparents. Normally, I would not allow him to miss a camping trip, but it seemed like a win-win situation! (He gets grandparent time and I had peace!)
Jeff took Friday, my actual birthday, off from work. We packed up the van and camper and headed down to beautiful Spring Mill State Park in Mitchell, Indiana, about 2 hours south of here. Friday's weather was wet and cold. We had hopes of a nice Saturday, so we did not cancel this trip.
Friday evening, as we contemplated a wet dinner at the camp site, it was decided that we should go to the park's inn, which serves a lovely buffet dinner. I was more than happy about a warm, dry birthday dinner, plus we could hang out at the inn for awhile playing games, namely, Jenga.
Friday night was cool,in the low 40's, but with plenty of warm blankets and a little space heater, we slept well enough. It was "misty" in the morning, but not terrible. The weather never really did improve much on Saturday, except to turn dry by evening.
The main event of the weekend was to go to the 1800's music festival at the village. There were bands playing from 10 in the morning until 5 in the evening. We heard two sets between some wandering around the village. We also bought 5 bags of freshly ground corn meal at the mill. I hope it lasts the winter! We really enjoyed the day, despite the cooler temperatures. They had roaring fires in the little cabins, which made listening to the music all the more cozy.
Saturday for lunch, I had made a big batch of chili and cornbread. We reheated the chili for dinner over a big fire. We also made hot cocoa with whole, organic milk for dessert. Oh, it was so rich! I enjoyed the hot meal next to the warm fire. And as a bonus, Jeff did all the dishes! I sat by the fire wrapped in a blanket tending the flames. The kids were again playing Jenga. After kitchen duty, Jeff and Trevor played a game of APBA baseball, a board game of baseball that Jeff has always enjoyed playing.
Saturday night was again chilly, but not terrible. Sunday warmed up nicely and of course we had to head home!
This was our last camping trip this year. I would really like to camp again this year, but with other commitments and needing money for Christmas, we need to think ahead to next year instead. And really, that is OK. We were blessed to go so many times this year. I hope that next year is as full of camping trips.

This Week At Home, 2012, Week 41
Notes written to remember each precious day...
Monday...
Most Mondays find us dragging, usually from a busy weekend, and this Monday is no different. Saturday, we spent 3 hours playing disc golf at a pretty challenging course. Sunday, Trevor sang in all three services and had to be at church at 6:30 in the morning. It's a long morning for him!
So, I was proud of myself for getting bread started, laundry going, and dishes done all before school work today. It was a good school day, too. And in the afternoon, Grace and I tried our hand at making homemade noodles. The noodles were added to a chicken soup for an awesome dinner! Recipe here. Thanks, Tina!
Tuesday...
I love Tuesdays! We are home, again! I love days at home. We get so much done. Although, we did not stay home all day. We met grandparents at a park to play more disk golf. I wish I had taken some pictures. Oh well. It was a glorious afternoon to be outside. Everyone enjoyed the sunshine and warmer air, despite the wind.
Wednesday...
Like a typical Wednesday, we were busy with fun things. I took Grace to art class and nearby there is a park where the boys and I could practice our disc golf skills. It was windy again, so it made for some challenging drives, but again, it was fun. I broke down and took the boys to McD's for drinks. Once in awhile, it's OK, right?
Thursday...
Another beautiful, but windy day. After lessons, we enjoyed having a couple playmates over. Then the usual off to karate and buying our food for the week!
Friday...
Today is my birthday! We're going camping, about to leave in a few moments, thus the quick entry. I will post more on Monday. Have a great weekend!

This Week At Home, 2012, No. 40
Little notes written to remember each precious day...
Monday...
Happy 18th Anniversary to us! We had a great long weekend without the kids, thanks to grandparents. We took a couple day trips, visited two new disc golf courses, looked at several antique stores, and drank lots of coffee in front of our fireplace while watching old movies.
All that aside, I missed my kids a lot. It is never quiet around here, and it was so quiet that I could hear Jeff's watch ticking! It was wonderful to be reunited with them today.
We spent the day mostly relaxing, well, not Jeff and Ryan. They headed to yet another 'new-to-us' disc golf course to play 18 holes! They are obsessed.
Tuesday...
Today was our Monday in every way, but we hung in there and managed to have productive days despite wanting to hide in bed all day. After lessons, we did a big tidy of the house because friends were coming at 2 o'clock. I had asked a friend to have coffee with me while our kids played. They are homeschoolers, too, so we can do things like that. Our girls made us brownies from scratch. The boys found multiple action games to keep them busy outside.
The evening was quiet. After dinner, and mowing leaves, tis the season, we enjoyed a fire and an episode of Deep Space Nine. We're in the final season!
Wednesday...
Wednesday was kind to us this week! We worked hard, starting a little early on our lessons. We ate our lunch early, again, so we could go to art at 12:30. Ryan had a computer job, so I dropped Grace off and took Ryan to his job. He loves helping my friends and they love his help! His specialty is keeping old computers humming along, a good skill to have. Trevor came along to play with their sweet dog, Eli. If I could have a dog, it would be a carbon copy of Eli!
The rest of the afternoon was uneventful, thankfully. Picked up Grace, picked up the boys, came home and made pizza dough and then folded clothes.
AWANA went a little better this week, although, we had two rounds of handbook time instead of counsel time, because our dear commander was sick . Lots of verses were said. I wonder if they are truly in their long term memory, but time will tell. My girls are silly, but fun. The time goes quickly, and I am exhausted!
Thursday...
Because Jeff is working at church tonight with the children's choir, of which Trevor is a member, he isn't able to go shopping with me as usual. So, Trevor and I went before lessons in order to beat the crowds. We even stopped to have a little coffee date, which made it extra nice.
I have to say going before lessons worked pretty well. The other two students worked on their independent work, took showers, and Grace even had lunch ready for us when we got back. After lunch, Trevor did his work and then we finished our together work. I was hoping to go to the park, but realized I was packing too much into one day, so we spent a much needed quiet afternoon at home.
Friday...
We get to stay home today! It's a busy day with lessons, dog sitting for a neighbor, and getting the house back in order for small group here tonight. Ryan and I got to look at slides under the microscope. The younger two and I took our neighbor dog on a walk. She had to stop at every mailbox to mark it! Makes a walk around the block take a lot longer.
The weekend will be spent in the usual way with a disc golf game on Saturday and church on Sunday. It's supposed to warm back up into the 70's, too. It's sunny and 55F today, delightful!
I hope you've had a nice week, too!

This Week At Home, 2012, No. 39
Little notes written to remember each precious day!
Monday...
This was a harder day, coming off a busy, but wonderful weekend. If we could, I would have called it a day off, but, we really needed to keep going. Plus, if the weather holds, we will be off on Friday. So, onward we marched!
I had the usual post camping ton of clothes to get washed, and sleeping bags hung out to get some fresh air. Thankfully, it was dry this morning. The rain held off until later.
I made homemade pizza, broccoli slaw, and grapes for dinner. We were all glad to have a quiet evening at home.
Tuesday...
Yay, rain! We sure need all the rain we can get to make up for the dry summer. We got going on our lessons earlier today. I think the motivation of playing with friends this afternoon was a big part of their happily doing their work and helping tidy up afterwards.
Lessons are going well this week. We are reading a good book about John Wesley, A Heart Strangely Warmed. We also started another book about small pox called, Dr. Jenner and the Speckled Monster. It grossed Grace out. She doesn't like descriptive medical books. Guess that rules out her becoming a doctor or nurse!
For dinner, I am made tuna cakes, roasted squash, and apples slices from an orchard in MI.
Wednesday...
I face Wednesdays with a certain amount of angst, as there is much to do, but nothing beyond my abilities, just out of my comfort zone a bit. Today was no different. We got our lessons done in the morning. I made an effort to keep up the dishes and laundry. At 12:30, Grace had art class, so we had to eat a little earlier than normal. That worked out because we're always hungry early. After I dropped Grace off at art, I spent the next hour with a dear, dear friend, who lives in the same town as art class. That hour flew! After art, we had a couple hours to work on laundry, projects, and get a little rest time before the big evening rush. I made homemade spaghetti sauce for our pasta tonight. 6 o'clock came and we had to be off to AWANA.
This week, AWANA was a bit crazy. The kids had a lot of excess energy for some reason, and I could not always follow the game leader's directions, as I was distracted trying to keep the kids in line. A girl had a mild asthma attack during game time and the church bathrooms were shut down due to a sewer break! Oh well, I survived another week!
Thursday...
This week has had very strange weather. It started rainy and cool and today was sunny and near 80 degrees. So, we had to get outside!!! Because more rain is coming tomorrow along with being back in the 60's. After lessons, we hopped in the van and drove to one of our favorite disc golf parks. This one has only 9 holes, so we did not wear ourselves out. After 9 holes, the kids went back to their favorites in the woods. I'm so proud of them. They really love this game and it is so good for them! They even happily went off to karate tonight. For dinner I made meatloaf, roasted butternut squash, and mashed cauliflower.
Friday...
Today begins a four day weekend for us!! Monday is our 18th wedding anniversary!! For the last several years, grandparents have graciously taken our kids for the weekend so that Jeff and I can go away together. This year, we were planning to go back up to the lake, but because the lows are going to be in the 30's and the highs in the 50's, we decided to cancel our camping trip. It was a tough decision, but the right one, as the camper is not heated and we were uncomfortable sleeping last week in the 40's! Not all is lost, though. The kids are still going to have their grandparent weekend. Jeff and I are having a staycation. The big winner is our sweet Dorothy, who misses us when we are away. Jeff and I are going to a new disc golf course, apple orchard, antique store, and visit my grandma. We'll also be able to attend church, which is preferred over camping! And we will be warm and snug at night. :-) Hopefully, the weather will warm up in the next couple of weeks so that we can go for my birthday. I can hope!
So there you have our week. Thanks for reading!
