Middle of the Week

It's another Wednesday here. The middle of the week rush.

We have found ourselves with 4 children going on field trips, award ceremonies, and then 8th grade prom. WOW!

There is more next week too.

Meanwhile at home, we are working on getting the garden going. With all the rain we have had it has been difficult.

The barn/shed is built. We still need to tear down the old one so we can use the tin roof and old barn wood to finish it. Once it is completed it will look fabulous!

Now I need to find a recipe for honey bbq sauce. We are avoiding high fructose corn syrup and that means we have to get creative. :o)

Spring Break

Seems like it gets earlier every year... but it doesn't, I checked the calendar.

Our school district is on a modified 9-2 schedule where the kids go for 9 weeks out for 2 weeks and get 8 weeks for summer. It works great except for when mom forgets break is coming. LOL

Softball season is well underway. Britt is loving it although she's only played one game since she is on the JV squad. It will probably get better and we do have more JV games in the schedule.

At the moment everybody else is calm. We had the elementary school kids parent teacher conferences last Thursday and 2 out of 3 are doing great. The 3rd one needs to try more but is doing good. I suppose we all go through those times when we just want to get by instead of doing our best. Middle School has their conferences report card day... LOL

Our current project at home is building our barn (read storage shed)... we were hoping to work on it this weekend but it appears that the weather may hold us off. It's suppose to be cold and rainy. We are also expanding our garden and hope to get it prepped by next weekend. That way once the freeze dangers are gone we can get to planting the garden.
