Weekly Highlights!

We are settling down into some wonderful routines. The kids are doing an awesome job keeping up on their chores. School is moving along pretty nicely. We are planning on schooling on through the summer. We missed a lot of school over the spring. We do take days off now and then, but for the most part Mon - Fri we do school. Keeping the routine really helps Chris and therefore helps the rest of us! Every other Thursday we go to the library and check out books and videos for the next couple of weeks. The first and third Thursday's we go to Open gym gymnastics. On Friday and Saturday afternoons if all the chores and school work is done we watch movies that we checked out of the library. Mon - Wed are pretty much school and chores and daily life. We also have started walking in the evenings after dinner. I take the kids and the dog and we are walking about a mile at a time. It is so wonderful to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather God has given us! Both boys now have a night to cook. Bobby cooks on Tuesday's. He loves to cook out of my "Betty Crocker Cook Book". Chris is just begining and cooks on Thursdays. So far he has done things like scrambled eggs and hamburger helper. They will get better with time and practice. I think that is a highlight for both of them. Plus I don't have to cook those nights! They also help me cook the other nights.

Roger is still traveling for work. But we are very thankful he has a job now. We have webcams on the computer so that the kids get to see him daily. It is wonderful that we can actually see him as well as talk to him. The kids look forward to talking to him, Bekah and Chris love to hog the camera! The other 2 just go with the flow.

School is graded from last week, it is prepped and planned for next week so it is break time for Mommy! God bless and have a wonderful week!
