So I am not going to talk politics all the time. I spent way to much time today online looking up stuff and researching all candidates. Whew! Today our water heater decided to break and spill it's contents all over the basement. I had to borrow a tiny little shop vac to suck the water off the floor and carpet. It held about half a gallon of water, so my back is broken from all the stooping and emptying of the little bucket. Thankfully my dh is a strong giant of a man who was able to replace our water heater without help from a plumber, so the cost wasn't so bad.
The boys ice skated today on a little makeshift pond from overflow of the creek. They skated and then shot it with their BB guns. They are enjoying all the frozen stuff around the property.
School is getting long and boring but we are 3/4 of the way through their math books, so I will at least bump Austin up to the next level by March. He is doing 4th grade saxon but he should technically be doing 5th but I was concerned that he had missed some fundamentals so I made him do some repeat stuff. He scored a 6th grade math level on a placement test so I'm not worried about it. Luke's reading has turned a corner, I feel like he can actually blend now and is starting to pick up stuff on his own. Evan just plugs along right on track, his spelling is yucky but so is everyones.
I want to shop.

circulation may be an issue, my blood pressure is typically under 110/68. But as far as a wimp...pain I can take, cold NO WAY...so call me a wimp!
And praise God that we will have warmer temps this week! yeah!!!
At least the water was in the basement and not on the main floor of your house...tons of damage could have happened! And don't you love a husband that can fix things!?! I can't tell you how much money Jack has saved us over the years by either installing or fixing things. I guess if they aren't strong and talented, they have to work 24/7 to pay for all the fixes around a house.
homeschooling is soooo good for those that learn at different paces. Austin and his math is a great example. And having a mother who is on top of her job makes it that much better for your children.
Have a great weekend!
I wish I would have known! We have a huge shop vac you could have borrowed. I almost called you several times yesterday, but I didn't have a real reason to. Now I know why I should have called anyway. Well, if you ever are in need of a shop vac in the future, or any other tool-type thing in the future, call me.
Deeann sounds like a circle of friends that we have around here... if Jack, Sid, Larry or Mike don't have it, you just don't need it. And Jack calls Sid's garage "Sid's D*pot"
I love when a community sticks together and helps each other...relational living!
