School, and.....

2 weeks and 3 days until school!!

I have thought about starting early, but then I realized that I have the lesson plans laid out already, and the date on the first day's lesson is September 2.  lol.  

And not that I am the type of person that needs to stick to the plan religiously, but it makes me wonder..." Whats the hurry??" 

What is the hurry indeed?  2 more weeks of enjoying the simplicity of summer.  2 more weeks of  late night reading because I don't have to be up at 6:30 am.  I can push it to 7:30.  2 more weeks of middle of the day shopping guilt free.  2 more weeks of unscheduled field trips. 2 more weeks of last minute house painting/repairing/cleaning out/organizing.

Yes, we will start September 2. 

And random....... believe it of not, we are getting a rabbit.  No its not enough that we have 3 dogs and 2 cats.  Samuel has always asked for a rabbit.  I always said no because I am not going to pay for a rabbit hutch, and chances of John ever building one were, well, none.  

Then one day, while dropping off something at Josiah's house, guess what was on their neighbor's front lawn?  

Go ahead.  Guess.

A rabbit hutch.  

With a big old sign in the front of it saying FREE.  Chloe got all excited, we went to go check it out, and it was in great shape.  

Of course.

And this week was our 4H fair.  .

So....sometimes I wish I had that sweet baby girl RIGHT NOW to keep my arms and mind occupied, so maybe then I wouldn't give in to these ideas so easily.  When its 4 against 1...and that 1 DOES end up seeing that cute little animal face....

Yeah, I will put up pictures of the new "family member" when he arrives.  For now, I will paint the hutch in purples and greens, to match our house.  :)  

John doesn't get that.  

But he is a guy.
