Good Morning!! How is everyone this not so bright Monday morning?? We are all doing good over here at the Conn Casa...Arlee is working on her chores, I believe Liam is helping her. Frost is working on school work {he was actually at the table working on Math when I got up this morning!! I was quite HAPPY!!} And, last but certainly not least, Zach is sitting on the couch playing with Cleo {our cat}. He opened the blinds so she could enjoy looking outside.
Since it's Monday...there is always LOTS to do around here...we have to get caught up from the weekend. We have been trying very very hard to keep up on our housework during the week...but I give us the weekend off from doing it...and by Monday...OH MY!!
We were pretty productive over the weekend....GO US!! LOL! Danny fixed our kitchen faucet...it had been dripping for the whole week...and it was driving us all BATTY!! Thankfully, when he went in to check it all out...something or other was just really loose, and all he had to do was tighten it up...and TA DA, it is fixed now!! Thank goodness!! Love the quick, easy, FREE fixes for sure!!
We also hung up some things this weekend, too...
Here are a couple GORGEOUS shelves my FIL made for us!! I can't wait to find stuff to put on them!!
It was driving us nuts that we didn't have a place to hang our keys!! So we ran up town one day last week to get a shelf for it! Then yesterday, Hubby hung a picture over the shelf, and I add the two candle thingys to it.
Finally got to hang up my plaque that I got at the 5th Anniversary picnic for my homeschool group!! I love it SOOOO much!! The families & kids signed their names on the back! To the left of this is my area where my coffee pot is, and all our mugs, and coffee stuff!!
These pics we hung last week...I've had these stored away in my closet FOREVER!!! The date on them are 2010!! It is wonderful to have the perfect spot to hang them!! So excited to have these on display now!
Daniel & his friend got Frosty's new computer up and running! Frost is stoked about being able to use it now! It is some sup'ped up computer that will be awesome for running all his games...or something like that! He saved up for it...and bought, and found, and collected everything he needed for it! Aaaaand, right now...he's doing his school work on it!!
Trying something a little new with our homeschooling this week. After reading this blog:

It's a pretty simple concept about using spiral notebooks as check lists for the kids. I got 3 notebooks over the weekend...wrote up Frosty's...and he's been working thru it today. He's 1/2 way thru his list already today!! So...so far so good! :) You know...for Day 1! Hoping to make up Frosty's & Zachary's tonight. Baby steps! :)
Okay...well, I am to the bottom of my coffee cup...so I guess it's time to jump in and help out with chores around here! Wishing everyone a great day!!
