Books My Boys Read in September

I wasn't sure that my boys would have much time for reading in September since we officially started back to school.   While they are required to reach each day they rarely read more than what I require.  Often by the time we're done our family read aloud and the books we read for science, geography, or history they don't have much inclination to read anything else.

So I was really surprised by just how long our list was this month!

    That's a lot of books! My youngest kids love Rick Riorden books.

      I was impressed; I really didn't feel like they had done a lot of reading. I am pretty sure we have read every book Rick Riorden has ever written. They just love his works.

    That's quite a selection! I'll have to see if the library has the Flat Stanley one, my daughter would have fun with that!

Prime Purchases in August

Image
I bought a bit less than usual from Amazon in August and was doing so well spending wise until the very end of the month when I went a little crazy buying long sleeved tops and sweaters for fall.  Sorry they're not the best pictures; I had planned an outdoor photo shoot but the weather just did not want to cooperate.



I'm mostly going to focus on the clothing since I just LOVE these tops & sweaters.

This cute color block shirt with the ribbon ties has been on my wishlist forever and I am so glad I finally bought it!




Another cute color block shirt that is so comfy and will be perfect for fall hikes. I like the little neck out out detail.



This long cardigan is versatile and thin enough to be worn with just about anything.



I can not wait until it is cool enough to wear this sweater; I just love the button detail on the sleeves.



This chunky cable knit sweater is perfect for pairing with leggings!



Health/Beauty:

I bought Elderberry gummies and multivitamins for the boys.

Weekly Wrap-Up: Our 2nd ER Visit in 2 Months

This short week has felt pretty long... luckily we've had beautiful weather and quite a bit of fun.  

Ian headed to work on Friday as after two whole day in a row of homeschooling I decided I needed a break! LOL.  Honestly though I haven't been sleeping well and wanted to make sure I focused all my attention on Alec and getting him successfully through his first week of school.  After dropping Alec off I did work on my blog, got the house decorated for fall, and then Evan and I worked together to clean the whole thing!  It felt so good to get those items off my to do list.  I'll have a full post up soon but here's a little look at my fall decor.

We went for a hike after lunch, checking out a new trail before picking Alec up from school.  He was all smiles talking about his day and assured me he loved his first 3 days.  




Alec told me he could take pictures of all his projects if I wanted as each teacher has been reminding the students to get their phones and take photos-- …

Friday Favorites: The First Week of School

Image
All in all we had a very good back to school week.  We are by no means anywhere near finding a routine or a groove and that's OK as we already know the routine is going to change many many times.  However, at the end of the week I still had three boys smiling and that's all that matters.



Ian headed off to work bright and early Friday morning with his father.  The younger boys and I went in at 8 to paint two new areas of the building. The boys and I spent 7 or so hour painting all the walls gray and any of the new trim white.  We did a pretty good job if I do say so myself but we came home feeling like we were covered in grime and paint.

Before:



After: (not a huge difference but we were painting all the walls the same gray colors that some of the walls had previously been painted and covering up any dirt/ scuff marks.




I was WIPED out afterwards so we got take out from Black Dog -- a fabulous BBQ/ Smokehouse near us. We finally got my husband to watch The Incredibles 2 with us.
