Week In Review


My live is so boring, and I love it like this! Kids while not angels could be a lot worse. Chores are fast and easy. Dh back is healing well. We are truly blessed.

Three kids are back in trouble. They, it seemed checked out the Internet or knew about it and said nothing while one child checked it out. While he didn't go any place bad he went. He knew it was wrong. He could earn the privilege of being allowed on, but decided to take the "easy" way. The other two didn't rat him out. Funny he even admits he did it the day he did because MN wasn't home. She would have and did rat him out in a heart beat when she found out. Sad that he is more worried about an 11 yo telling than a 17 yo, but such is life around here. MN did the Internet once too and didn't like the results.

I think consequences are quite good. I printed out pages and pages and pages of information on the dangers, the fun, the risk and the rules about the Internet for them to copy. The 17 yo has 32 pages to copy. The other two only got 16 pages. When it is done they can ask questions about anything on the pages. They have to highlight their questions and we will discuss it after they are finished. No questions until then. I have heard many "you say that mom' statements.
I added a few pictures we took this week just for fun.
MN worked Monday for her brother then on Thursday he ask if she could help. She had her school done for the week. Since he really needed another warm body that could give shots I offered to help too. She and I had a blast giving shots to 300 goats while the other three sat in the car working on their consequence. After we finished that I took them home and she stayed the rest of the day to be her brothers extra set of legs. His dogs are good, but SHE can open gates and SHUT gates, while they can just move the sheep and goats with her. She was SOOOOOOO tired when she got home! But, I am guessing she will be ready willing and able again on Monday to help him sort what he buys this Sat. She will have to get Monday's school done before then.
MN decided she might not fit in the little car near as well as she use to. She is trying to get out of it in this picture.
Just thought this was a neat old place!
