Hi, September. Bye, September.

Well, September's come and nearly gone. I'm not going to question how that is, because I think that's just September's nature. School starts and everyone has their head down, working hard at new tasks and getting into academic routines. We've had a great September, and are looking forward to the very best of all the months: October.

This will be short and random, because it's a school day for us (normally I'm running around getting ready, but this past week I developed a detailed schedule of what needs to happen each day on MY end in order to prepare for our Friday community day, and it worked surprisingly well...so here I am, blogging on a school morning). I noticed our dining/school area was EXTREMELY clean the other day, so I snapped a picture:
I'm not sure why an orderly room was such a surprise to me, since I was definitely the one who put it in order. It's just that there are normally a few school books and papers (and ALWAYS at least ten pencils) strewn across the table, as well as ENOUGH CRAFTING SUPPLIES TO FILL A MICHAEL'S STORE. I'm really glad Sydney and Lorelei are crafty, because I'm not, but the popsicle sticks, glue, markers, scissors, tiny bits of cut paper, pipe cleaners, googly eyes, cotton balls, ribbon, velcro, DUCT TAPE, regular tape, white out...the list goes on...get to a person after a while. So I suppose that's why I was surprised and snapped a picture.

Sydney and Lorelei love tea. Probably because it's really just a cup of warm, creamy, sugary water, with only a splash of tea. But they always want a cup while we read in the afternoons. This is one of my favorite parts of the day, because Ruthie is napping, Ford is contained in his bedroom, and I have a quiet, coloring audience:

Happy Friday, my friends!
