September is here!

September is here. It seems that summer flew by and I could use another month or two of it!

We have been doing school stuff through the summer at our convenience so, school is nothing new for September, however, we will probably do a lot more now :)

I am happy to get back to it but I am exhausted so it isn't easy keeping up with everything.

We are expecting a new baby in February 2014!!! This means we will have to try our best to get as much as possible done before that day comes. The last thing I want to be doing is stressing about school and house work when we have a new baby in the house. Wish me luck as I try to get everything taken care of as well as possible.

We are quite behind in school.. it doesn't bother me too much. My kids are smart and pick things up quite easily, we just have a very relaxed attitude toward school. I would rather them love learning than anything else. If you teach a love of learning, they can learn anything!

So even though they are registered in grade 2 and 3, we still need to catch up on their grade 1 and 2 stuff! I do hope we can really get serious about this and have them studying at grade level. I do like to know they can keep up with their peers.

Just a little update on my new plan for health. I stopped at a 30 pound loss and now I hover around 220. I am happy with this and hoping that I can hover there as long as possible and not gain too much pregnancy weight :)





In this picture, we couldn't figure out what to write on the chalkboard. We went with "and baby makes 7" (5 kids plus mom and dad) and then the photographer sent this one to me. It says "and baby makes 5" for 5 kids. I'm not sure which I like better.
