Weekbook: Final week of August

Highlights of the week: Last week of the pool being open, walking around the nursery, furniture shopping

Low point: Jeffrey getting sick, Rose following shortly after

High point: spending happy time with Jeffrey the day he started feeling better

Needs work: my eating habits, our morning routine and segue into seatwork

Projects: decluttering (what else is new??), finding a new place for my personal "in use" homeschool books (teacher's manuals, etc), rearranging things because now that we've decluttered there are empty spaces in the wrong places! :) , my Rule of Six practice

Discussion: a little of everything this week, why the sky/oceans are blue

Milestone or Progress: Rose is plugging along with long division and remembering it a little better each time, I notice Batty is getting a little less batty and more calm/obedient/happy

Focus, Theme, or Atmosphere: room planning (i.e. furniture arranging) - reaching for simple beauty

Independent interests: Nancy Drew books this week for Rose and Skye

Spiritual: 54 Day Novena - already seeing fruits in my more calm acceptance of things

Nature/Outdoors: pulled out remaining tomato plants and reseeded with salad blend, lettuce, and broccoli. I've never planted broccoli so this should be interesting!

Literary: read aloud All Sail Set

Artistic: salt dough models, drawing

Scientific: read about mercury, learned so much, made salt dough models

Historical: learning about clipper ships and voyages around Cape Horn

Musical: playing on and/or experimenting with our recorders

Beauty: does looking for pretty new sofas count? ;-)

Life Skill or Work: furniture buying, arranging, "staging"

Thoughts and plans for next week: September already! I need to begin plans for the many birthdays we have coming up ... and thinking "fall" as far as our lives are concerned.

A Photo Memory: what we spent Saturday doing, looking at these -
