I don't get much time to write on the blog so this is catch up time. My sister called because she bought a new laptop and wanted to set up a wireless network for internet. We loaded up all the kids and decended upon her house. Once there we found out that she needed another ethernet cable and an ethernet card. We did what we could with the software she wanted loaded and then scheduled for Mr. Easy Going to come back to install it and set up the network. Three hours later we came home and crashed.
Saturday we went to Portland to look at a forklift for Learning Master's business. It didn't work out but it was a nice drive. Our family loves going on long drives and we spend a lot of time talking, laughing and enjoying each other's company.
From there we went to Bend via a run through Warm Springs Indian Reservation and Mt. Hood scenic tour. It was so pretty going through the different terrain. Coming out of the mountains and into the dessert. We came back through Sisters and the Santiam Canyon. We definitely live in a beautiful area of the country.
Sunday was the Lord's day and we relaxed for the afternoon.
Monday Mr. Easy Going took care of the computer issues for my sister. Learning Master worked. Princess Shy, Designer and Little Miss helped me clean house and catch up on laundry. We also harvest more tomatoes...now we have tomatoes everywhere. It was a very productive day.
Today we had a new student start. He's 14 and a little on the quiet side but fits in well. We ran him through all the testing and then let him go out to hang with the guys.
School work went well. Princess Shy made some of her famous peanut butter cookies...that girl can cook. the kiddos are all working on their own little projects. Mr. Easy Going has the steering wheel back on and straight this time. Designer is of course designing new Lego Bionicles, Little Miss is chatting daddy's ear off. What is it with four year old girls that they never shut their mouths?
Well, that catches us up for today. It has been a busy few days but they've been good days.
