Fall is Almost Here...YEA!!!

The weather's been crisp and cool. I've had pants on for most of the past two days. And, I've fallen asleep to the cool air through opened windows for about five nights. I'm so pleased that fall is coming I could do a cheesy, musical number right now. Ok, let's pretend I did it.

So, we started Lucy's sixth-ish grade year up yesterday, Monday. The two of us are fried out and tired from trying to jump-start our brains back into gear but it's awesome!!! We've started with shorter days but I'm hoping by next week we'll be more rested and can do the entire day. For anyone interested in how I've set up our schedule this year, here it is:

School Schedule

8:00-8:45 Bible

8:45-9:25 Math

9:25-10:00 English- Spelling, Writing and Cursive

10:00-10:30 Social studies

10:30-10:45 Snack

Add on art lessons, drum lessons, possibly swimming and AWANAS. We should be busy enough. Now, if I only had time to write and publish that New York Times best seller...I'd be, dare I say, content? Happy, THRILLED!! I'd buy you all something nice so there's a benefit to praying for this request:) Happy almost fall, all!
