Well, I decided it was time to move into a new blog-house and so here I am. It's going to be a new year soon and I thought I'd get things all ready for blogging in 2008 and so here goes. Please stop by often. You will find honesty about my life, my children, and our adventures in homeschooling as well as everyday things that happen to us. You will soon find that our lives are NEVER normal around here especially with 8 children between the ages of 2-17.
This year Kyla-Dawn will graduate from homeschool. She's not sure about her future just yet. Joshua is 15 and in Grade 10, Michael is 12 almost 13 and in grade 8/9. Larissa is 9 in grade 4 and Jenaya is 6 in grade 1/2.
Our twin daughters Autumn-Rose & Ember are 4 and kind of in pre-school. Then we have our golden boy..... Zachary is 2. He's just getting into the "NO" stage but still he's definitely much more sweet and even tempered than any of the other kids were at that age.
Events lately? Well..... let me see here!
Our van motor siezed up December 5th two years to the day after we bought it and then it was a race to find another van to borrow, someone to fix it and a motor for it. So now it's getting fixed. We were lucky to get someone to do it for half the price we were quoted originally. We still got to have Christmas although at first it looked like we were not going to get to. Anyway, we had a wonderful Christmas.
We had our first church Christmas Concert on the 23rd and it went exceptionally well. We were very happy with it and my oldest two kids cooked a feast like you've never seen for afterwards. It was awesome! Everyone raved so that made us pretty happy.
Today is Boxing Day and Derk's home for the day. We are going to go to the city to do a bit of shopping.
As to interesting things? Well..... we spent Christmas day moving everyone around. We've made almost stall like bedrooms upstairs in the back half of the house. That's where the kids are staying. Our bedroom in the front, we've moved out of and made into a "chill room" for the kids because our living room is too small for all the boys usually hanging around our place all the time and I just can't handle the noise and interruptions all the time. So now the front half of the upstairs will be a "chill room" as named by the kids where they have a futon couch, table, Nintendo and monitor and computer etc. Their rooms only have personal items and clothing in them other than beds.
Us? well we have moved into the bedroom on the main floor just off the kitchen and although it's less than half of our other room, we like it. We're going to have to block one of the heaters off though as it's incredibly HOT in there!
Well, time to get these kids in high gear. Jenaya woke up this morning throwing up and still is. She has tiny red spots almost measles like on her face so not sure what that's all about.... yippee...
