Some more bullet points from my life....

• We had a great official week back at school with the boys. I was surprised by how much history and science they remembered.... and this is Ancient History! We begin World History II next week. I'm actually planning on skipping ahead a few weeks to cover Knights and Castles. Medieval Times the restaurant/entertainment venue had Kids Free coupons in a circular recently, so this will cap off this study very nicely. I am also amazed at my first son's spelling improvement....he really has had a "click" happen, as he is spelling much better both orally and in his creative writing.
  
  
• The boys started piano lessons today, and I think they will be very happy. There teacher is so sweet, and patient. They knew a lot of musiac theory from recorder class....I can't wait to see how they progress as the year goes on.
  
  
• We are taking down our Christmas tree finally.... it is looking tired and a bit bedraggled. It was time. So, my living room should be back in order soon, and all the Christmas stuff put away in the attic.
  
  
• However, just as one area gets in order another turns to chaos. We are beginning now to get prepared for a yard sale in the spring, where all sales will go toward our adoption. A friend jut donated some stuff for that today, and we will begin to set up several places in our house as working areas, to price things and get them ready. We plan on asking for donations from our Sunday school classes and church, so we can add to what we have. Anyone want to come help in the spring? :-) I'm really hoping that maybe my mom and dad can come help... I haven't broached it with them yet, it all will depend on their schedule.
  

I guess that's all for now.... I have been starting posts and half writing them, and saving them as drafts... some deeper thoughts to ponder, and yet they never flow to paper (or in this case keyboard). They seem to remain just a jumble of thoughts. When I untangle one or two I'll post them.
