What a week

This week Mendel and Miles are getting sick. Mendel had a temp of 103.3 yesterday. He seems better today. Miles sounds like he is about to cough up a lung. We've been taking it easy the last few days. We took yesterday to rest and the house went downhill from it. But I felt bad and so did the boys so it was worth it. Today and tomorrow we'll get it back together.

OFFICIALLY UNEMPLOYED

As of yesterday, I am officially unemployed! It feels so good to be able to stay home with the boys, but kind of saddening that I no longer have a job. I'll try to ebay some things to try and make extra money on the side. I am also going to order catalogs and try to sell some of the items. I would like to try and start a business at the Flea Markets but I don't really have enough to start out. Hopefully soon I will.

Next week

This coming up week we'll be working on the house and yard again. I have our assignments printed out of what I would like to get done. I already printed out the science plans for next week. It's ecology week! I even have a fun experiment making a wacky water filter. I found an American History book that will go well with our Book of Centuries and I bought two books for natural Science. One is about TN birds and the other is about TN wildflowers. We'll start with the birds and then in spring we'll move to the flowers. Summertime will be insects. We're really excited about this and I can't wait to start!

The House

I am going to clear out the boys bedroom and re-do the walls. I think it will look great when we are finished. If I can't find wall paper and wall strips for the top, then I'll just paint it. They are wanting a cars theme. Race cars mostly. I guess that will be easy enough to find. They want the divider wall out of their room. I am hoping that in teh future I can find loft beds with desks underneath for them. But for now the walls getting done will help immensely.
