Come on, kids. It’s mulch week.

This week we are heavy into house projects. While the kids aren’t thrilled with working, they are excited about increasing their allowance through the use of extra chores. Instilling a good work ethic in them is a personal goal of mine as a parent.
We have many flower beds so they are helping move mulch around the house. Tough physically but a great way to tone your arms, moms! Of course, forget trying to keep your nails in any kind of presentable appearance;(

Schooling on Father’s Day

Today was filled with church, a movie, and R and R for hubby. Had his favorite foods: chocolate pie, shrimp cocktail, crab cakes, chocolate chip cookies, onion dip and chips, and bacon. Yes, we had platters of bacon.
We studied a bit in between: grammar, cursive, reading, and math.
This is, hopefully, our last week of academics before starting summer break-not that I’m counting!
