Oyster Feed and loggers
Yesterday was one of my family's favorite days...Oyster Feed day. Always the 2nd Saturday in September and so darn yummy.
Ok, pic was taken after a couple plate refills and everyone was getting pretty full. Boys were excited because they got to drink soda. Don't think we will eat oysters again for a few days. They have all you can eat oyster stew, steamed oysters, bbq oysters, clam chowder, shrimp coleslaw and rolls. It was so good, I came home and took a nap.
Then we headed to the stadium for Logger Playday, one of my favorite activities. And the night is always ended with an amazing firework display.
This is one of the double buck races. At the end of the night so many kids get the cookies, guess it would be wrong for me to push the kids aside so I can get a cookie to take home. I tried double buck but I always had crooked cookies so I gave it up and only competed in the ax through when I was in college.
So that was our Saturday, it was a wonderful day.
My phone takes crappy firework photos. Wish I had taken my camera this year...maybe I will remember next year...

Been MIA...sorry
Things have been so darn crazy trying to get homeschooling organized and under control. I have things basically down at this point. We have Grammar, Math, Physics, Reading and History.
We are currently doing a review of 6th grade math before jumping into 7th grade math.
We are reading Hatchet and I got some teacher books to go with it providing me with spelling, assignments and tests to go with the story...also found I can get the book on audio file from the library and I hope to use that as time I can step away from the homeschool during the day. Sky said his teacher last year did their books on tape during class also.
Just got my history books Thursday, I broke down and went with The Story of the World. Starting with book 1, even though it is meant for grade 5, Sky has not covered the material in 5th or 6th grade so I am going with it.
Not a fan of Physics, must admit it, trying to get though it so we can get to the fun stuff, biology and getting to dissect stuff.
Using Grammar Ace at this point but I have gotten Grammar books for both 5th and 7th grade that we will dive into once I do this basics which is so cool because the assignments are designed to go with School House Rock. I LOVE SCHOOL HOUSE ROCK. Boys say graphics are cheesy but I don't care, looked at minecraft lately? I am very shocked at how little my boys know about the parts of grammar. Sky got some last year at the middle school but Brady and Sky both agree they never learned much of it in elementary school.
Oh and Sky is starting homeschool band this week. He currently is the only clarinet player in the intermediate group but they have a nice variety of members from sax to trumpet to flute to drums.
Went to library yesterday to make copies of assignments and test for the next week or so and now after I get the kitchen clean I can start organizing that.
