Yes, they are all mine!

Yep, it has been busy around here.  We have gotten well settled into our schooling routine.  Our new scheduling is working a lot better than I thought.  It helps to keep the kids and myself on track. 

Mr. Muscles has been working a lot lately.  That is a good thing because we are paying over 400 buck for the root canal he had and the crown he is getting.  Short Man got his braces last Friday and we are already noticing a huge difference!  They said 6-9 months and I thought- nah!- but now I am thinking yeah!  He really likes his braces.  They are really small and he has a whole bag of stuff to keep them clean and in good repair.  Ms. Firecracker wants them now.  LOL   I remember when getting braces was a death sentence for a kid. 

The dentist's office called yesterday.  Every month they put all the names of cavity free kids into a bowl and draw one name to win a prize.  All 5 of my kids got to have their names in there.  Short Man won.  We have to go today to pick up his prize.  Ms. Firecracker was upset she didn't win.  We had to have a talk about being happy for her brother instead of only thinking about what SHE didn't get. 

We are steadily harvesting strawberries, beans, peppers and tomatoes out of the garden.  The watermelons are getting bigger and bigger.  Mmmmm, I can't wait to eat one.  We have a little weeding to do but I doubt I will get to it today.  We have the library, park and a few other stops to make.

Oh yeah, we moved my buff orpington chicks out to the chicken house.  They will be locked up for the next week or so while they learn "home" and then they will free range.  We let them out during the day and lock them back up at night.  They are getting so big and the older chickens we have didn't bother the little ones at all.  Everyone is getting along great.  My male duck is coming into his colors.  He is just beautiful!  I know the girls are gonna like him.  LOL  We have two females so I am hoping for lots of ducklings when they start laying! 

That is all for now.  I have to get going.  Take care and God bless to all you wonderful people!

All for His glory, ~Rhen
