Meg attended Winter Formal, a homeschool version. It was hosted at a local hotel ballroom and they had dinner, a DJ and dancing, and photos even.
His mom dropped them off, I picked them up- at late o'clock.... Her lovely and loving cousin did her hair (I am so grateful, I am not skilled in the fancy hair department!!) and then the moms took the kids to Bower's Museum for some photos. Kind of exhausting. I congratulated his mom on having two boys. I have 3 girls, and many dances to look forward to...

Did I mention that Sky is an artist with wood? He made a horse-shaped jewelry box for Meg last year. I've been encouraging to make a few more and open an Etsy store..so he did. Here's a look. The middle part is a drawer, and there are two more drawers on the side. He's pretty amazing.
Meg drew the outline of the horse, Josie had the idea for a Wolf-profile jewelry box, so she drew this outline. I think it will be a work of beauty when it is done.

This weekend we did a bit of Spring cleaning (though of course not as much as I had envisioned) and a ton of laundry. I had planned on finally cleaning out and organizing my homeschool closet, but so far, haven't attempted it. It's almost dinner time here on Monday, so it is looking less likely that I will do it.
I am making Chicken tortellini soup right now. (I cook the chicken thighs in the crock-pot first) -and pumpkin bread in the oven is making the house smell nice.
I just finished reading "What a girl wants" by Kristin Billerbeck. It is Christian chick-lit, and I really enjoyed it. I love a happy, girl finally gets guy sort of ending. I picked up the sequel at the library, and dived right in...but the first page the character mentioned her future s-i-l and the last name was a different last name then the guy of the last book. {Spoilers! - I guess} Now I have to see if there is a book I missed, because I seem to be lost...

Josie and Demi-Sky have been sick with asthma, Josie has been under the weather for a few weeks with some kind of mystery virus. She is going to try to go to fencing tonight for the first time in 3 weeks.
After fencing, I am going to get the kids' homeschool work set out for the week.
It's been a nice holiday weekend. How about you?
