Sometimes you're pleasantly surprised by wonderful flooring that only needs swept and wiped down ... and sometimes not so pleasantly surprised. I pray that it is an easy transition for you.<br /><br />I used to be a night owl. Give me middle of the night star gazing and reading by moon/candle light on the patio and I thought life was grand. Since getting a bit older and having children I'm not so much of a night owl anymore. I am still most creative in the evenings but my energy for big things just isn't at it's peak. I'm working on getting up earlier each day, some days it works ... some days not so much. <br /><br />I'd love to plant some lettuce this year, and we just might if we can possibly get a small raised bed put in. I think this year is going to be all container gardening though. We've much still to accomplish in the yard and house and Daddy (as well as I) have surgeries that will begin in a few months. I do so love gardening though and am aching to get my hands dirty, even a little!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02634100350565235034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604439789995820197.post-17626105543808600372014-04-21T19:24:56.166-07:002014-04-21T19:24:56.166-07:00I must admit I've never been a night owl. Eve...I must admit I've never been a night owl. Even as a teen I was happy to get up for the day at 4:30am but please let me go to bed at 8pm or 9pm. We are getting ready to pull up carpet downstairs - it should be interesting. Mason's wheelchair works better on the wood floor areas of the house so we want to uncover the wood in the downstairs. I have no idea what it looks like under there though. :P <br /><br />I think the kids have one onion planted out in the garden that was sprouting. We usually plant romaine lettuce heads, or the stumps of them I guess I should say, and the leaves usually regrow to get another head out of them. It's fun!Tristanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14483248387092516827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604439789995820197.post-34169428365050208612014-04-21T07:31:42.544-07:002014-04-21T07:31:42.544-07:00We don't pull all nighter's very often any...We don't pull all nighter's very often any more. We did that one and one a week or two prior to that, but until then it'd been since fall that we'd been up overnight like that. It's not something we enjoy any longer lol. <br /><br />All of the kiddos have completed at least one assignment book, some more than others, but that feeling is great. We school year round here but have a much lighter schedule during the summer months so everything that we can accomplish before summer is one less thing to think about :-)<br /><br />Yeah, the kids were real troopers with the backwards day, but after spending the morning outside and no rain actually showing up in the afternoon it was hard to get lessons finished through day dreaming :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02634100350565235034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604439789995820197.post-62025023921799362332014-04-21T05:42:10.399-07:002014-04-21T05:42:10.399-07:00Holy Cow! All night long! That's astonishing...Holy Cow! All night long! That's astonishing! It sounds like you managed beautifully through what could have been a horrible day. Isn't it exciting to finish assignment books!? I've been putting a completed book away here and there for different kids over the past couple of weeks, and we all love that feeling. We're going to have an actual summer break this year, and we can hardly wait.<br /><br />And special kudos to your kids for tolerating (and thriving during) a backwards day--it's hard when routines are changed!Aflyonmyhomeschoolwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746892667170459729noreply@blogger.com
