Abby had volleyball practice Monday night. While there she hurt her little finger while setting the ball. Instead of coming out to the car, where I was sitting, she buddy taped it and kept playing!  After she got in the car, she told me she hurt it and that it was taped up. I told her I would look at it when we got home She said ok, so I figured it wasn’t too bad.

Well, after looking at it, I thought it might be broken. She didn’t want to go the the er to have it xrayed. Since she had two volleyball games to play the next day, I told her she had to or not play the next day. So back to went the 30 minutes to town for a trip to the er. The same town we had just driven 39 minutes home from. lol

We took the week of Thanksgiving off from school. Which means that Zach 13, spent his week attached to some sort of electronic device. lol  Abby kept busy with a couple of volleyball games and practices. Unfortunately, they didn’t win any of those games.

We were supposed to go to the movies with the homeschool group last week, but due to snow, we had to miss seeing Frozen. I thought it was ironic that we missed seeing Frozen because we were frozen. lol

Calen, Abby, and Zach went to the skating rink with the church last Wednesday. They had a great time. Although, they didn’t really care for Dad being there as a chaperon. lol Zach was really sore the next day. I didn’t go, so I didn’t get any pictures.

I’m still trying to decide how much time we will take off for Christmas break. I used to like to take off the whole month of December. That worked out great when I had several youngers. Now that my last two are in 7th and 9th grades, they need the work time.  I told Zach on Monday that how hard he worked for the next two weeks will determine how much time he gets off. So far? Not much. lol Abby has been trying to work ahead to finish high school early, so I’ll have to check with her to see how she is progressing with the goals she set for herself.

For the past month or so, Abby has been using Simply Put: A Study in Economics for a review. We both like it, so she will be continue using it for her economics course. I’m giving away a copy of the Simply Put Economics Course – it ends at midnight 12/6! So head over and enter it!

And that’s Our Homeschool Week in Review. See you next week!
