School is starting to wind down here. We are still working till the end of this month, but the kids are finishing books. That makes the days lighter.
The new schedule is still going well. The kids have been doing their morning lists then going for a walk. (PE!) Then they come in and start on the book work. Lunch break, then they finish up.
We got a new school laptop last Sunday, so they are all trying to be the first to use it. lol
I don’t have any school pictures to share this week. I think I need to do a much better job of taking pictures!
We spent several hours this week as a family getting a clothes giveaway set up at church. We fill the fellowship hall with donated clothes and invite the community to come in to get clothes, household items, and toys for free.
When I say fill, I mean fill . lol It was a great success again today. We also have the clothes closet open Saturday mornings, where we sort clothes and give them away for free. Giveaways like this enables us to put out more at one time. It’s a lot of work, so we came home today and crashed!
