Randomness…

Or, a glimpse into my life. 

Let’s see..

First, we have Jeff and Ethan stacking wood.  Yep, it’s that time of year.  Need to stock up for next year. 

I needed… craved… had to have some greenery in my life… and I saw this at Wal-Mart for $14.  So I bought it.  And my soul is happy. 

On the way home from dance class last night, God gifted us with this view…

And, our biggest project in the last few days has been… the classroom.

Every now and again, I get the itch.  And I must clean out/re-organize everything.

And I mean everything.

Dudes, I was drowning in paper.

I don’t think non-homeschooling mom’s have this problem.  Maybe they do, who knows.  But, I’ve kept every. worksheet. that my children have completed over the course of their school years.

Justin is 12.

We started when he was 4.

That’s a lot of worksheets. 

So, I’m not keeping them all anymore.  I rebel.  I figure if the truant officer or whoever needs to see that they’re doing/have done school, they can look at their *current* work.  I’m sure they can tell that the children are learning from that, right?

And so, Jeff (mostly patiently) helped me switch our computer desks around, and start to sort and organize.

Here’s our newly moved and organized desks:

Jeff’s ^ and mine is in the corner… with lots of school books, of course.  The piano used to be where Jeff’s desk is now, and we’ve moved it under the stairs where my desk was.  Me likey.

And….

This is what’s left:

Now, the two tubs on the right are filled with clothes that we’re selling… and pile on the table isn’t nearly as bad as it looks… so there’s hope!! 

And now, I have to get back to it.  Break’s over.
