Our Week in Review (July 29th-August 4th)

I can't believe it is August already!  Where did July go?


Monday was an adventure.  We had to take the pig to the vet to get blood tests so she could have papers saying she was healthy enough to show.  It was the first time we have had to load her onto the trailer (the last time I took her to the vet she was small enough to fit in a do crate in the van.)  The only appointment they had available was at 12:30 and we needed to be almost 2 hours in the other direction by 3.  It took 5 of us to get her loaded but thankfully once there we didn't have to unload her, the vet just climbed into the trailer with her.  Blood was drawn we raced back home, unloaded her, changed clothes and headed of to Magnolia Arkansas for Nick to tour SAU.

Nick will be a senior this year and has started thinking about college.  He would really like to go to SAU.  It is a very nice school in the middle of no where (just like he's used to) with a 19-1 student to teacher ratio.  He needs to get his ACT score a little higher to get a bigger scholarship.  We will see what this year brings. 

Wednesday was a day.  We had Liam most of the day (Chelsea had her last dr. appointment.) and then had a ton of running around that had to be done. 




We got our first egg from our chicks!

Thursday we went to a Craft Workshop.  The children made dream catchers, string art, and various crafts out of golf balls.







After the workshop we had a STEM meeting.  We took care of a lot of club business and then tackled the Pringles Ring STEM challenge.  Christian got it!





Friday the girls had music lessons. 


Saturday Art and I went on a date.


We did some school.  We worked on HSITW Ancient Rome and started a study on Music Appreciation from Zeezok.  I have started talking to the children about what they would like to study next year.  Local public schools start back on the 13th.  We will start back some things in August but will not get back to a full schedule until September.

I hope you had a great week!

Happy Homeschooling!
