Wow, it's August . . . no, it's almost September!

    I know that this post is way overdue, but it's better late than never, right? (Seems like I'm always saying that when it comes to blogging... )  The summer flew by super-duper fast (like usual) and August caught us by surprise... like we thought it wouldn't be on the calendar this year...? Thankfully Mom had ordered our books plenty early, and we dug into school on the fifth.

    We are into our third week of school now. Daniel is in third grade, Bethany's in eighth, and I'm in twelfth. Yes, my last year!! I don't know whether to be excited or sad...



Daniel's favorite subject is art. When Mom decided that they would do art every Monday, Daniel asked if on Tuesday they could change "art day" to Tuesday, and on Wednesday change it to Wednesday, and on Thursday change it to Thursday, etc. etc.  =D


pre-algebra obviously isn't a favorite

   Beth's favorite subject this year is history. She has U.S. history (my ultimate favorite) and I am SO jealous! =)


I'm not sure I really have a favorite this year because I don't have history, and Business Math is rather boring, in my opinion. My only video class is Spanish, which has been rather interesting. Unfortunately, no one else in the house speaks Spanish and I get some weird looks from time to time. But I guess they are hearing some weird words.  =)



And then some big news for Daniel...    A few weeks ago he bought the first gun of his own from a man in our church, a bolt-action Savage 270! He was pretty excited, and had to call Pap right away. =)  The gun is a little big for him right now, but he'll grow into it before too long. We haven't been able to shoot it in yet because we can't shoot rifles behind our house (too many close neighbors...  the city ruins so much fun).
