It's Just Another Day in the Park

Well it has been one crazy week! Our laptop's hard drive crashed and I lost all of my homeschool books, documents, resources, and all of my pictures. It was a little rough, and I am just now starting to be able to regroup.

This week is my spring break, so we have done a few fun things in addition to our regular school work. Although it was snowing on Monday, by today it was 80 degrees (crazy weather we have here) so we managed to go to the park and the zoo this week, in addition to visiting Chuck E Cheese for a cousin's birthday and competing in our last JBQ match of the season.  Here are a few highlights from our week:

Isabella won 6th place in bible quiz!

My niece, Aubrey, on the swing!

At the park (Alex loves the penguins!)

The new polar bear at our local zoo!

Isabella eating pizza at her cousin's birthday party.

Alex could hardly eat because they had a show on the stage and he wanted to hug Chuck E Cheese!

Happy New Year!

I am trying to get more organized this year, and also to eat more healthily and exercise. (I need to lose about 50 pounds :( )

In order to help me in this quest I plan to post one blog a week about organization and/or my healthy lifestyle changes. This will also help me because the blog will be more organized as well. Here is my blog plan for the New Year (note: everything is always subject to change with me)

Monday: Weekly menus
Tuesday: Little House in the Big Woods Curriculum (I am making my own unit study for this book)
Wednesday: What's in the Box?
Thursday: Science
Friday: Geography
Saturday: Art
Sunday Weight loss / organization

Tomorrow will be my first blog about organization. I am going to post about keeping all of your kid's art work organized.

Do you have any weight loss or organization tips for me? What is working for you? I need all the help I can get!
