Fallen off the face of the Earth?

No, but we sure have been busy. May hit with a bang and we have been juggling two baseball league schedules, wrapping up the school year (with testing for little hobbit) planting the garden, celebrating four birthdays, mowing lawns (ours and three others) and Papa Hobbit had rotator cuff surgery. Whew! And today the peeps arrived!!Aren't they adorable?

Time passes....quickly

We've been busy this summer! Soccer followed baseball. We've been to the beach, the amusement park,and the water slide park. We've mowed alot of grass, pulled alot of weeds (not enough, though!). We've painted a room and shifted alot of furniture. We've read alot of books. We've played alot of high intensity capture the flag (with sword fighting and jousting included)with the neighbors. We've taken our turn at cleaning the church. (Alot more floor space to clean since they added that social hall!). We've hunted fireflies and shooting stars.

Now it's time to ease back into some education! After a few weeks with their peers, phrases such as "That is like way so cool!" have slipped into the hobbits day to day conversation. We are hoping to fix this by evening Shakespeare readings. (Dad is doing this with As You Like It. He is great at singing the songs!) And reading something other than the Percy Jackson series or Eragon. Wind in the Willows for Ken, Robert Louis Stevensen for the twins. Next week we will ad some math and latin review. Amo, amas, amat....

Quiet Time

It is that time between -- baseball is over and soccer is yet to begin. We are all lost in the world of the Last Olympians.
