OH what a week!!

Anthony singing Metallica songs with T an T-oh a proud moment:)

Bambi telling us he didn't like our side door!

Driver's Permit test passed!

When you start a week with cute boys singing Metallica, you think the week is going to be OK, right? We went from that to having Bambi hit us! Poor deer ran right into the side of the door, thankfully we are all fine, well maybe except for Bambi:( On Monday we had a bday  and passed the learner driver's permit. Oh and the fun didn't stop there! From that day on we haven't stopped...car estimate (why does it take so long?), music lessons, meeting with my boss,doctor appt for Anthony, getting leak in roof fixed, meeting with a bazillon tile and granite peeps( did I tell you that we are trying to get the house ready to sell??) Spanish lessons, gameday, co-op classes and OH YEA having my son drive me around any and everywhere EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY!! To top off a lovely week, our weekend has been filled with renting 16ft (a frame ) ladder, paint sprayer , taping the hell out of the first floor (prep just sucks) then painting the ceiling, removing tape,paper and plastic. Today fun is filled with taping off trim (where we need to) and painting 18 ft walls in the living room and entry! Paint ball for Alex and hubby from 12-4ish, while Anthony and I stay here and try to get some painting done. Well while I try to get some painting done..... so that we have at least the living room back and my school room has a path thru it again!

I was very happy with all the school related things that we managed to get done this week! Owl unit study is done (OMG FINALLY, topic for another post!), almost done with our MBTP unit 1( I know I know but its a new curriculum for us and we are trying to do everything!),research about a blogging course for Alex to take (thinking of him having a blog on animals), managed to find some more books about homeschoolers for my site, finally getting into the groove for our days, and managing to stay somewhat sane during the process!! Well I did say somewhat!!:)

 This week is chalked full of appts,classes, repairs, painting and oh yea schooling, how about yours?

Happy Birthday Dino!

Well really we missed his birthday (it was in May) but Anthony got so upset about missing his little doggies birthday that we decided to give him a puppy party On Sunday! So how old is our little terror?? 4 years old in human years and 28 in doggie years;) Anthony decided to buy him one of his favorite toys that he tends to destroy in a matter of hours, ya know one of those long stuffed dogs I even went to try and get a pic of him with it but he has already ripped the stuffing out! Besides the little gift bought by Anthony, we also made some homemade dog biscuits. He did all the work I just supervised, when they were all done we got all three dogs outside and sang Happy Bday to Dino. (very funny singing it to a dog but it was for Anthony, really) Then he handed out most of the treats to the dogs. YUMMY Schultz (our old man) and Dino ate them up faster then Tuffy!!

Here's the recipe for the biscuits just in case you want to make some for your doggie;)
