This Week in a FLASH!

What a fast week! School's in session, and the kids & I are finally settling into a routine. Today, Dylan saw the pay-off of studying and making note-cards for his bold terms! He received A's and B's on his 1st quizzes, and is thrilled about it! Whew!...I must admit, I was starting to worry about that one!
Ashley had her first Biology Lab. Simple enough that Dylan could join in. It was a Taste Test following the steps of the scientific method. We had to make sure we limited the variable, so we selected 4 different brands of O.J.
BTW: If you are ever wondering which is the best tasting... from best to worst: Florida's Natural, Minute Maid, Tropicana, Safeway Brand!
Puppies are missing all the attention they've been getting over the summer. It's funny watching Cody playing with Shelby, he's smaller, but faster. He can squeeze between and behind things Shelby can't.
And it completely cracks me up when he gets on top of her and attacks! They always pause the play when someone walks in the room, and their food/water bowls are the "time out" area!
Oh, yeah! The bargain of the week! Shawn is often bringing home "stuff" his customers are giving away. He calls them treasures, and sadly, I refer to them as clutter. Well, yesterday, he brought home a Sony TV (4 yrs. old)! Way better than the 10 yr. old 150 lb. one we had! We removed some shelves and a divider in the entertainment center & wallah! It fit! WAY TO GO BABY!

I remember the days of finding "treasure" from jobs I used to do, good job!!, but as Jen reminds me they were not as good as a tv.

Just stopped to say hello-we'll restart our school year on the first-third for both boys. I've been trying to get things all together and interlink the things I picked since we didn't go with a planned curic. for the year.
Hope all goes great for your school year<><

Ephesians 3:14-19

"For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height - to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen."
