The Cast of Characters

I wanted to post to this blog in the evenings, but I'm not sure that's going to work out.  Life is just too busy then.

I want to introduce the cast of characters.... Oldest shall be known as "D", 2nd as "C", 3rd as "JC", 4th as "Kmac", 5th as "Stix", 6th as "Shrimp", & 7th as "Goober".  Yes... the last 3 are nicknames used on a semi-regular basis.


The 3 oldest have graduated & "D" no longer lives w/ us.  We ranged in "school age" from 10th grade down to 1st.  Fun, huh?

So yesterday Shrimp & Goober decided waiting until the 16th to start school was somewhat unacceptable.  They wanted to start RIGHT NOW!!!  I bought everyone new notebooks & rulers the other day, so they were both writing stories, or notes, or letters, or something in their notebooks.  Goober kept asking me how to spell different words, but when I encouraged her to think about what it sounded like, she did a pretty good job of figuring it out.  Those silly "e's" though.... She decided they just throw them in wherever they want to!
I really want to get a bunch of sheets printed out, especially for the last 2.  They love to do worksheets & puzzles.  As a matter of fact, they've asked me the last 2 days if I'd printed any out for them.  Maybe I can do some of that today.
