Life at Oak Grove

Well, Well...   This is my testing week.  Doing a unit study on birds...  Love birds...   Yesterday we had a goldfinch coming in the backyard.   So beautiful.  The lady was close by.   Showed it to the boys for the first time.   We usually get Robins but this was a nice change...

So bird study...  I went to the library the other day to pick up some books I asked to be put aside and went in the kids section to see if I could find anything interesting about birds.   Found a lot actually... Took some including a nice book detailing feathers and eggs and nests.    I think the boys will like it.

They went to bed late (VERY late) last night after coming back from a little fishing trip with daddy.   This morning they are up at their usual time.   I fear some grumpiness and some impatience later.   So I asked them to understand that they might be more tired than usual...  Alexandre is having breakfast right now.   So I am waiting for him to be done.

On another note, yesterday morning before church, we moved one bed in the new room and put up the bed for Dominic.   My sister-in-law and her family came over for lunch and her husband helped mine to bring down the desk that was in there.   Now I just have to figure out where to put the boxes and empty the wardrobe...   and find a place for the games.   Rats!    When you think you are almost done, somehow it slows down...  Go figure.   We also need to buy a darkening blind for that room.   And take an appointment for the van - our extended warranty is almost done so we want to make sure everything works fine.  If something is wrong and covered by the warranty then we will get it fix NOW!
