Here is our fabulous new bug house. How cute is she! *love*
my computer has a power button, who knew?
Today I tried a little thing I like to call "going offline" If you are feeling lightheaded you may need to rest before you continue.
My internet was out so I spent a day with no computer or phone (digital).
Today I...
put away a mountain of clothes
made a new improved bughouse for Teagan. Pictures coming soon, the paint is drying I have to screen it tomorrow.
dismantled a broken futon and took it to the dumpster. I even used tools... allen wrenches and pliers count as tools, right?
cleaned the kitchen
started a gecko
cleaned off my big living area flat surfaces... desk and dining room table
go me!

how many readers will I bore today
I'm wishing I had a page with diff sections , one for crafts, one for family stuff and maybe another for homeschooling. lol
I've been rather productive this week but it's all domestic crap. I made a shark and a puppy... i'll do pics later, too lazy now.
Yesterday the kids and I made ketchup and I've made homemade tortillas twice this week... SO yummy. I'm totally bonding with hillbillyhousewife.com and her from scratch and frugal ideas.

Started the day with getting dinner in the crock pot before 8am, always a great way to kick off the day!
Today we did spelling and grammar, both of those are daily subjects. Then we started the fun stuff...
We started a composting experiment.
We made paper - we need better tools for that!
I made homemade pizza for lunch
Teagan did a cave painting to go with the first chapter in Story of The World
Tea and I made choc-chip raisin granola bars
Here is a pic of Teag doing her painting, you can see the paper in the bottom corner.
Finished product :D

Well we got the official word today... not approved for a home loan. Even if Chris gets the new job the most we could get approved for is 100K. Hmm, yea that's not going so far in today's housing market.
So now we are stuck with the so not fun task of trying to find a rental (home preferably) that allows cats, has 3 bedrooms and is in our not so high monthly budget. Excuse me while I laugh... or cry, either way. ;) Basically we are going to need to get insanely lucky. So cross your fingers for us.

Onward and upward or some such... right?
I'm supposed to record tonight with Nic and Will so that should be fun.
Tomorrow the kids and I start back to school. This year we are doing a more relaxed Well-Trained Mind approach. I've not actually read TWTM but I know I'm doing a lot of stuff they recommend. lol We are only doing 4 day weeks and should only have 3 subjects a day. Hopefully all 3 of us will have more fun this year.
I have a few sock toy ideas rattling around on my mental list to start this week. My top design plans are Shark, T-Rex and I'm working out the last kinks of a Mermaid. :D I need to get a few things made and uploaded to my etsy because I'm all empty over there and that will never do.
I made dh watch Bring It On! for the first time yesterday. *rofl* I love that movie.
