On Tuesday, we completed our study on the weather. We used the Hands of a Child Weather lapbook. We’ve had lots of crazy weather lately, so it was interesting to see how it all tied in. There were even several specials on tv that covered extreme weather. Unfortunately, Munchkin was unable to draw the clouds for the project. She’ll have to do that at a later time since it was actually too cloudy or rainy for her to capture good clouds to draw.

We have rain steadily falling and the water behind our house is slowly rising. We’ve never seen it so high, so we’ve been watching it. Munchkin thought Daddy might like to see some pictures. This is the view we now have from the backyard. Usually, the water is much lower. In fact, during low tide, it is often just mud. On a normal day, when we look down like this, there is a pathway leading down to the water. In addition, there is some very tall grass at the water’s edge. There is usually a nice island in this view.…

Apparently, this is becoming the theme of my week. House work, house cleaning, organizing, de-cluttering. This is truly an area that I struggle with as I tend to…

Today, I opened up the windows and began our fall cleaning. I had gotten behind on cleaning again do to a few days of not feeling well and being ultra busy. It’s amazing how quickly things can get crazy when you don’t do your normal tasks. It’s nice to have things at least semi-organized now. Unfortunately, when I start to clean and organize, I tend to make a bigger mess. I realized that we just had too many things that weren’t being used, so I posted several (okay 14 and counting) boxes of stuff on Freecycle. I still have many…
