Weekly Wrap-up: Weeks 10-12 - Summer is Wrapping up!

Whoa! Is it really September less than 2 weeks? You know what that means, don't you? Our first day of homeschool is just around the corner! I've been planning the last couple of weeks, putting together 8 weeks worth of lessons plans. Are you ready? or have you already started the new year?

But in the meantime, we have summer to celebrate! And the temperatures are proving that summer isn't over yet!

We've been to the lake to cool off as the rain blew in. See to left of the picture? It poured at the other end of the lake! And then passed us right by without a single drop.



Tom and I have been exploring new lakes in search of Bass...and gorgeous sunsets.






Sam's been doodling and writing, a rarity for him. Isn't this kid awesome? His honesty. (And yes, his room is a mess.)




I finished up my first ever afghan for Jake. And planning on my next...



And the garden has turned into a jungle! But I don't have photos of that...

  1. Is there anything more gorgeous than sunset on the water? I'm also a sucker for shots of sky full of clouds. Love those photos! :)

  7. What beautiful pictures. I love the honesty of kiddos! My daughter is starting 9th grade. Yikes! We just pulled her 'curriculum' together last week. We'll begin the week after Labor Day.

  9. Beautiful Pictures! The rain coming down in the first one is awesome! I'm glad the storm went right on by you guys and didn't disrupt your day at the lake!! We are ready for school, but not excited about it!
