A sick kid

Well, I was wanting to take it easy today anyway. As it turns out Jeremiah caught a cold. I was going to take them to the pool if it was warm but I can't take Jeremiah so that's out. Thankfully it's not real warm today anyway, so it's not a big deal. God is being gracious. It's only in the 60's today, so it's comfortable in the house. We live in a trailer house with no air conditioning so it gets really hot during the day.

Cleaning Day Complete (well, mostly)

Well, cleaning day went fairly well. We fought almost the whole time, both with the kids and each other. That's normal. The kids cause they actually don't actually don't think it's fair that they have to clean even just their rooms let alone help with the rest of the house, even though most of it's their mess. They claim the cat does most of it. Sure, blame the one living thing in the house that can't even speak up for herself. Josh and I just have very different personalities when it comes to getting any task done. I'm much more laid back and like to take breaks. Josh just goes, goes, goes non-stop until it's done. I don't even have the stamina to do that.

Oh, and the well, mostly part is of course some things didn't quite get done, but most of it and the most important stuff got done.

Cleaning Day

After 2 days at the pool, Josh came home and decided we need a cleaning day. So, I guess we'll be cleaning the house today. I was hoping to take it easy today, but so much for that.

Summer bible study

I'm going to be doing Jennifer Rothschild's study, "Me, Myself, and Lies" through the LPM blog this summer. I think maybe my friend Jeni will be joining me.

Last day of school

What a day! It was crazy! Went to Chloe's graduation. So much fun. All of those kids are so cute. Then, we picked up all her stuff from her classroom. Her portfolio that all the teacher's at MCS put together throughout the year for their students. Such wonderfully faithful teachers. And of course they cleaned out their desks and cubbies and had to bring home all that stuff. There was still an hour of school left for the rest of the students, so Chloe and I went to the park and she swinged for a while on the swings (duh, like you couldn't figure that out) and climbed the mini climbing wall and slid down the pole and then did a quick run down the slide and then we went to the dollar store where we found nothing I was looking for. That's okay. It wasn't that important anyway. Then, it was time to go get Jeremiah and Angela, so we could take Jeremiah to baseball practice. He'd forgotten his baseball pants so we had to go home for him to change and then go back to the baseball field. He was only a few minutes late. Then, I went home and unloaded the girls and all their stuff. Thank God Jeremiah brought all his stuff home yesterday. I'm not sure what they did all day at school today. Angela said they cleaned their classroom and played. Mostly they played. Then, I thought Jeremiah wouldn't be done with practice until at least 5:30, but apparently they were done at 5, so Jeremiah had to call me and tell me to come pick him up. So, I did. And I'm not done yet. We have prayer meeting at 7 p.m. I hope nobody wanted to eat dinner tonight! I'm way too hot and exhausted!

Last week of school

Well, it's been a busy week for the kids. They went to the pool on Monday. Jeremiah had to miss the afternoon cause I had to take him to Pullman to see his allergist for a check up (we're going to have a lot of those for a while.) Nothing new there. We're keeping him on the same treatment for now since it's working and his lung capacity is back to what it should be on the meds. Has been for a couple weeks now. Tuesday they had a track and field day in the morning. Fun competitive stuff. Mostly just for fun. Chloe's class went to the park that afternoon. We went to Jeremiah's baseball game after that. Today is Chloe's Kindergarten graduation that I will be going to later and Angela's class is going to the park today from what I understand. Last Friday they had their end of the year market day. They earn Moscow Charter School "school bucks" throughout the year and then they get to "sell" stuff on market day. Things they made and things like that. And they can buy stuff from each other with their school bucks. They always have a lot of fun with that and come home with interesting things. Some of the parents bake things or get things at the store to sell at their market day. They donate them of course. Plus they can sell things they don't want anymore so kind of like a yard sale in a way. Except some of the stuff is brand new. Jeremiah auctioned off a couple of his old toys that he doesn't play with anymore, so they can do all kinds of stuff for market day. Some of the kids get pretty creative. They come home with some interesting things.
