Will it ever be picture ready?

That's the question of the day! Hahah! We're still working on getting the house put together. We're mostly done, except for a few boxes here and there (most of them in our bedroom - the last place that ever gets unpacked). The few we have left here in the living room we've kept around as a barrier to keep Elizabeth "contained" until we can finish getting the dining room area baby proofed a little better. LOL

This week, the packing has slowed quite a bit because we have a sick bug running through the house. So far Elizabeth and now Dennis have been the only unfortunate victims. Nothing too bad, just a head cold, you know how miserable babies can be with head colds though.

We're back on schedule with home school. It's been a struggle getting back into the old grind again - for all of us! Slowly we're getting used to being on a schedule though. I've added a German language course for the boys, now. We listen to an audio adventure that has a few German words sprinkled through it for vocabulary and then it asks questions at the end. It's fun, and better than dry workbook stuff.

For History, the boys have been studying Early colonial/pre-Revolution life and we are watching this really neat series I got on DVD called Drive Thru History. The host drives around to all the historical places and explains the events that went on. It's got a nice fast pace to it and is really entertaining. The boys complain but they would anyway even if SpongeBob was teaching history. HAHA! They prefer it over reading out of the textbook at least.

For Science we've given the Flying Creatures book a rest for a bit. Sean is reading about different masses - this week he learned about air and water cycle, clouds, etc. Ryan is learning about his 5 senses and his body. I've broken them up for a while, for Science, (we were studying all together before) to give Sean some independent study time.

OH! And Elizabeth, she's learning the parts of a face (haha) and learning how to walk! :) She knows how to stand up and will stand on her own for a few seconds until BOOM! She also cruises along the furniture walking. Not too much longer now, she'll be toddling around!

Well I just wanted to check in real quick since I havent really had time to write lately. I will check in again later, hopefully with a few pictures. TTFN! (that's Ta-Ta For Now for all you who are not fluent in Tigger-speak ;) )
