Gosh, time flies by so fast. I thought being at home I would stay on top of things more but boy was I wrong. I make lists and lose them, so I make more lists. Then I find the original list and it's totally different than the second and well you get the idea. Vicious cycle. But I do enjoy being at home with the kids. We do art, play games, do homework, color, write, etc. So what if the floor doesn't get swept everyday, we are making memories and I am so thankful for that.
Gracey's fall break is over and she is back to school. This is first full week back so I hope we quickly get back into our routine. She was ready to go back and so excited to get to see her classmates again. I am thankful she likes school and hope it stays that way.
Fall break kept us busy and now having issues with Internet at home, so I have not posted regularly but hope to get back to it. I'm actually at the library doing this post. Beginning to work on Christmas gifts and crafts and hope to post some pics soon. That is the ones I can post without giving the present away. Wouldn't that be something?
This is a beautiful day. Think I will go home and open some windows and enjoy it. Fresh air might put some pep in my step today.

A Little of This and a Little of That
Well, I had so many things planned for our Fall Break. We are a week into it and haven't accomplished much at all. Funny how that works.
We already had a yard sale planned for last weekend and the kids went to their MeMaws so they didn't have to rise and shine so early. Then Gracey got to go to Nana's to help plant flowers and such, which worked out really well since Braxton woke up that morning with a tummy bug. All is well now and they are both at home, enjoying their time.
Gracey has lots of schoolwork to work on during her break. It's hard to believe she is reading already. Time just goes so fast. Braxton learns so much from her too. He has to take a turn practicing his sight words too. She whispers the answers and he repeats. It's cute plus it's just an extra practice run for Gracey.
It's Homecoming this Sunday at church and I haven't a clue what to food to take. It will probably change two or three times between now and Sunday morning. We are also starting to plan our Children's Christmas program. It's such a blessing to work with the children and to see their love for Jesus.
We continue to use our Chore Charts and it is working really well. The after school questions of course are on hold until school starts back. I am currently working on Meal Plans. I feel like I cook the same things over and over. Been searching Pinterest for some new ideas and hope to incorporated them into our meals.
Been seeing lots of fall ideas online and hope to get to try some over our break. If that does happen, will gladly post some pics!
