~A Bunch of Nothing~
I'm very thankful for a good school day. Really needed it this Monday.
Confession: I personally have no use for science. Call me crazy but I don't care a bit about nitrogen, cellular respiration, or even photosynthesis. As long as I have an ample supply of oxygen, I'm good.
However, my 5th grader has to learn all this crap, I mean information, so guess what?!!! I'm learning science!!
 Thankfully, Jake memorizes easily.
I got my first tiny hint of fall the other day. It was just a little breezy, about 80 something degrees out. I got really excited.
We are back in full swing.
School. Gymnastics. Football. Ballet. Piano. Guitar.
As much as our three "at home school" days sometimes drive me to the brink of insanity, I don't know what I'd do without them.
Those hours at home are precious to me. Trust me. "Precious" is not the adjective I would use most days until well after we have finished the work. I have to decompress before I reflect on our mornings with even a hint of a smile. It's the oddest thing.....you want to jab hot pokers in your eyeballs at 10:37 a.m. but by 3:44, you have this sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in your day. It's weird.
I've been completely horrible about taking pictures recently and have nothing but snapshots but here are a few:
~Ginger Bread Brown~
Not sure, but I think she's flashing gang signs........don't ask. I have no idea.
The Gambrell girls. Old friends. We have a history and I love that.
  
Abby and Cameron's pre wedding party. Suppose I should include a picture of Cameron here but I'm out of time.
Dinner is beeping at me from the oven.
