"Insta"-replay #93, should have taken more pictures

So, I didn't post many pictures this week.  We stayed busy but we also stayed home and to be honest my home is not looking its best so I've been avoiding taking pictures.

We have been getting school done each day.  This year with only four days of school each week it is more important that we don't get behind.  Merry has been using "Headventure Land," a Latin games website.  It is a payed subscription that goes with her Latin curriculum.  She thought it was hilarious that "sonic screwdriver" was an option.  As fellow whovians the reference was much appreciated.

Last week's schedule was a bit different because my husband was away for a few days.  So both girls had to come with me places.  As a result they spent more time sitting and waiting than normal.  Good thing they are such good readers, I didn't hear any complaints.

Having a scrawny blog post should inspire me to take more pictures this week, and maybe even clean house...maybe.

"Insta"-replay #92, I think it's finally fall!

Summer seemed to last extra long this year but drizzly skies and cooler weather is finally making an appearance. Autumn happens to be a favorite season of mine so I am glad it has arrived.

Waking up to fog is delightfully dreary and when my mood is low it seems like all of nature is being sympathetic.  The last two weeks were long and I needed that sympathy.

Girls have been working hard on school.  We decided to try a four day schedule this year but shorter weeks do mean longer days.

To get it done has meant school in the car.

And school while getting a treat at McDs.  You can see from the smiles that they don't mind too much.

Besides school we also had some fun.  Star Wars Reads Day had their third annual national event day.  I may or may not have bought a book just to take this picture.  I think I'm hilarious.

Our local library had a Star Wars event this year.  It was fun to dress up and of course pose whenever possible.

We finished up the week with art with aunt Abbie, it was a fun sparkly project that wasn't as much of a mess as I thought it would be.

So that's what we've been up to, at least what I've taken pictures of.  Happy Autumn.
