Ok after next week things should slow down. This weekend is Corey's recital and father's day. Next week I have to go to Boston for my interview to become a US citizen.
My friend Marise is coming with the kids for a quick visit the week after, but that will be fun. I can't wait to see her. I miss her.
As for school, we are now in fun school mode. I got an art curriculum (I can't draw to save my life), so we are doing a lot of that. For the rest, we will be doing pocket books, lapbook, nature stuff. Everything will be low key and no really structured. Things have been so busy, we need to "chill out".
I can't believe it's almost July already! Corey will be 6 in August! Wow! 6!!!! He is becoming such a little man. I tought I would be sad, but no. I'm looking forward to this next stage - I may regret saying this later....but for now...
Samuel is Samuel (most of you know what that means). But also he has "matured" so much in the last few weeks. He has been asking to do school for so long. I got him the explore the code books (book A, B & C). He loves it. It's so amazing to look at him go.
I have been reading a great book (yes I do have 30 seconds before bed to read): Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. It has made me (& Jeff) more aware of where our food comes from. So because of that and also because of all the "food problems" that we keep hearing in the news, we have decided to try to eat more "local". Now that the farmer's market season has started, I will only get my produce needs from there. Next summer we will do a garden on the side of the house. We found out about a farm in our area where you can buy 1/4 of a cow (that's 200 lbs). It's a lot cheaper than the grocery store (about $2.50 / lb). The cows are not given any hormones or any other "stuff". We are saving and by the end of the summer we will be making the purchase. It's a small step, but it's a start.
