Apple Orchard, Bedtimes, & Bills....Oh no! :)

Well here I am after a long day of school, a trip to the Apple Orchard, and lots of bills to pay! School went well today, this year we are studying the years 1850 to modern times, one of things we will learn this year is the Presidents (starting with the 13th, Millard Fillmore 1850-1853), anyhow~ I never liked History much as a kid, but now I just can't get enough at times. Are you like that too or is it just me? The kids were great about it too, they are making a booklet for them and all the info goes on a sheet then gets filed in their History folders. Anyhow....they both seem to love Science as well! We are just having a good school year so far and that is a "wow moment" for a mom! :)

Okay then this afternoon we did a field trip of sorts, okay so it was an outing at least...headed out to Blake's Orchard and picked some apples (which we needed to make an apple pie, also part of school), and well of course we had to get cider & donuts too. (Not the Weight Watcher approved kind either, so none for mom). The orchards were flooded from all the rain we had this past weekend and it was really hard to get to a tree to pick, needless to say the boys were drenched, shoes, socks, pant legs...you get the picture. But all and all we did fine and brought home some great apples.

Well its bedtime around here and like most days we are struggling to get everyone down and read to and done with Bible reading, etc. Its a never ending thing around here...someone is always getting up for something they "forgot". Why can't you just go to bed, curl up, sleep and give mom that much needed BREAK! UGH! Oh well ...Bills are awaiting me and they don't seem to wait either so off I go to break the bank!
Until next time....
