Homeschool and headaches

Per request from my sweet sister, I am going to update my blog today. Hopefully we will get some new pictures on here soon. I have been a little overwhelmed the last few weeks with homeschooling. And no, homeschooling is not giving me a headache...well..maybe it has contributed to it a little. But I do have this cold/sinus stuff and my head hurts! Teaching over a very LOUD 3 year old while coughing and sneezing is not fun, maybe I should have a sick day. Do homeschool moms get those? I'll check my contract. lol
We have been learning about the solar system (did you know that there is no atmosphere on Mercury and the sky is always black w/ a bright white sun? God our creator - awesome.) and a state every week - Colorado was this week(did you know that there is an atomic clock that keeps perfect time in Denver?) Jacob is doing well- he started his Monday homeschool tutorial last week. His teacher is Ms Kristin and she is great. He really likes her. Jason is leading our chapel worship time on Monday mornings and of course the kids think that is so neat. Laura Rose has learned almost all of her letters in the last couple of weeks. I was surprised to realize how many of the letters she knew! Jason and I went on a date last week. We went to see "Fiddler on the Roof" at our Center for the Arts here in Murfreesboro. It was a great show(3 hours long). The lead guy played a perfect Tevye. Aunt Julie watched the kids for us, and as we were leaving Laura Rose said, "when I get bigger can I go to a play?" Tonight we are going to see "Honk, Jr" - the ugly duckling story. I think they will like it. The director is our children's librarian, Mr Roy, and a sweet friend named Ms Rhonda painted the set.
Are you ready for some more useless trivia? Yesterday Sept 18 was national cheeseburger day. The first cheeseburger was served in Denver, CO in 1935. We are celebrating cheeseburger day at Dairy Queen tonight and thought it was neat that we were studying CO this week, too.
Well, Jacob is aggravating me b/c he wants to play on the computer. God Bless.
