The week so far...

So, Monday sucked as it has for the past few weeks.... but yesterday and today have been great so far :) We are working through fractions now, so math has been really easy for him. Nice, after a rough two weeks of long division. not that he didn't get it or anything, actually he's really good at it, but he just doesn't like all the pencil work that the practicing required. So, Fractions are like a vacation compared to that. I will try to write more later, I need to give him another assignment.

Okay, I am back....
We started Sarah Plain and Tall this week, he has read Chapters 1-5 already. Cayleb likes that it has three of our families names in it ;) Well, one isn't exactly the same Anna versus Ann :)

We feel like the end of the year is finally approaching, a relief after a long year. Spring is finally here, and flowers are blooming. Tulips are everywhere and Daffodils as well, people have planted them along the freeway even! It's so pretty :) I don't have any bulbs planted yet, but I think I may get around to that the next time they have the bags of them for sale at Costco :) I am hoping!

Cayleb is currently finishing his math time for the day making a recipe that his Auntie Sarah gave me for my Bridal Shower many years ago called "Popovers for Piglet" It's been a favorite of his since I started making it for him as a "first food" when he was just 7 or 8 months old! I told Sarah Rose that Cayleb was making her a "treat" and she is so excited!

Our chicks are getting bigger and moved out to the "Chicken House" on Monday. They are still under a light for night time, because it still gets down in the mid thirties some nights. It's so cute watching their half feathered bodies run around! Half feathers, half fluff!! Too cute!

I am anxious to get more work done in the yard; I can't wait to get the grass planted..... I know that is the first big step towards completion of our project. Jason and I walked around talking about my ideas the other day and we have a pretty good idea of what we want to do. We'll be sure to take a picture after it's done.... but that will be 2-3 months away still.... That's all for now

OMG...I feel so special knowing that is one of his favorites... that is one of mine too, I had forgotten I had even given it to you. :o)

Yup! It's a "special treat" we make sometimes to go with a special lunch :) Cayleb made it ALL BY HIMSELF this time, turning the oven on and getting all the ingredients out, mixing it all together, putting in the pan, setting the timer, even getting them out when they were done! It was so cute, he was so proud of himself! And all the while he was thinking about his Auntie Sarah and how much we all miss you!!
