weigh in and summer school

wow, I haven't done a regular Tuesday morning weigh in in quite a while.  I have had quite a spring!  Lots going on and lots to think about, that my weigh loss has gotten pushed to a back burner.  not totally lost, but definitely not been my focus with my grandmother's death and funeral and the vacations we took just before that.  WOW!

Well, though I gained during vacation, I have lost 3.6 of those pounds since the last time I weighed in.  Though it has been a couple of weeks, I am thankful for a step in the right direction.  I am hoping to focus more on my eating and exercising again now that things are shifting to a slower pace as summer approaches.

We school through the summer so there will be no last day, but we are finishing up some things that we won't continue in the summer.  My daughter (10) will finish up some math and language books this week.  My son (12) will do math through the summer because we have had some struggles with getting him to do the work without checking the back of the book for answers.  Then we will all do a Civil war book study over the summer.  I am very excited about it and so grateful for that resource. Unfortunately we can't go visit the sites like they can, but my parents are going back east to some of those areas and I asked them to grab photos, postcards or other fun things if they can.  I ordered many of the books from the library and am choosing to buy a few that I think would be good contributions to our library here at home.  I have adapted some of the readings for my ages, as my oldest is only 12.  I will be reading Uncle Tom's cabin, but most likely I won't be reading it to them.  I am using mostly the everyone, littles and middles books.  I am also adding the American girl Addy books since my daughter has them, hasn't read them yet, and loves the series.

I am hoping this will be a fun study at a slow easy pace.  we will also be camping some this summer as well as swimming at my grandfather's pool. 

see what others weighed in at, and what they are thankful for
