Update on Life
Okay...I know it has been a couple of weeks since I blogged, but I have been really, really busy! I am going to give you the short version (aren't you glad)
The 18th of May, we spent the day packing and then we headed to Jack's end of the year piano recital. He was only able to play a couple of songs with one hand due to his broken finger that had limited his practicing in the weeks preceding the end of the year. But he did well with that and we enjoyed listening to all of the other kids.
The 19th, we left for Myrtle Beach! We had a great week there. We spent a lot of time on the beach in the sand. The water was cold. We had several days int he 70s with storng winds...brrrr! But of course the kids didn't care and couldn't understand why I wouldn't jump into pools that felt like they were filled with ice cubes!
We always take in some activities at the beach. We ate at my favorite seafood place, Crabby Mike's. We went to see Dixie Stampede, and Daniel even took part in the show! We played putt-putt a couple of times. We went to MagiQuest. A really neat idea, but a bit frustrating. As more and more people joined in, the computers were overwhelmed and started messing up. In one instance, Daniel and Jack spent 20 minutes or so on an adventure only to have their progress lost! Katrina and I visited the Ripley Aquarium while Jack and Daniel enjoyed racing at NASCAR Speedpark. Memorial Day weekend was much more crowded than the first weekend we were there and we were glad to spend most of that time on the beach. I read three books and most of an HTML book and completed 2 jigsaw puzzles while we were there:)
Since we returned home, I have been busy, busy, busy. I am in the middle of several projects. The biggest is mulching our front yard, bank and one side yard. I am doing this by hand with a wheelbarrow...enough said! I am also sorting through textbooks I have been given and held on to because I 'might' use them...I am getting rid of most of it. Some I am giving away, some I am going to put on Ebay. We are also thinning out our video collection. So I have plenty to do on Ebay. And I have been writing lots of ads for VABay. Over 30 since Tuesday. And I am still reading my HTML books and web design books which have multiplied from 3 to 8! And next week, we will return to homeschooling...
Aren't you glad you got the short version?
