I have been happily married (32 years) to my husband Ed. We have 8 children and 2 daughter-in-laws and 2 grandsons.

Officially Started??

Ana has been begging me to start school. This morning she kept asking and even sat at the table waiting. So, I believe Ana has officially started school. ~smile~

Katie is now sitting at the table with her math book. I'm concerned that she is going to have a little trouble concentrating. We shall see.

I, on the other hand, am not ready. I'm still putting notebook pages together for Story of the World 1(for the girls) and Tom's science. I've been having second thoughts about Tom's history. I'm thinking I want him to do Story of the World 3 & 4 with his history reading books that are listed below plus some.

Tom is working shoveling manure today. Yep, he's working on a horse farm with our friend Jimmy. It's good for him. I get tired of seeing him on x-box (I really don't like that game). He does go to the pool almost every day.

On Friday, Jimmy gave me huge containers of tomatoes. So now we have 17 bags of sauce. He gave us zucchinis and I made 30 loaves of different zucchini breads (still have many left). I will be blanching them and freezing. We also have a huge container of cucumbers and I'm waiting for Ed to help me make pickles. He did that last year. Oh yeah, he also gave us many eggplant so I'm slowing frying and freezing them. We are getting a full freezer which I am very thankful for.

Have a good day everyone.

P.S. Forgot to add that we also have a few pans of zucchini brownies frozen. ~smile~
