-1st we went on a mini vacation with our good friends the Oswalts. Unfortunately the place we were going to had no power so we had to scramble to find someplace else to go. The place we found was very small and kinda creepy and we were pretty bummed... We made the best of it though, visiting Big Muskie's bucket (a big excavator bucket) and a local beach (that we only found an hour before it closed). On the way home we stopped at Roscoe Village though, which was a lot of fun (though SUPER EXPENSIVE!!)

-2nd was the Cub Scout Twilight Camp I helped run. I was the Program Director, so I put all the crafts, games and schedules together.-3rd was Cub Scout Webelos Resident Camp. Camping in a Boy Scout tent is NOT my idea of a good time...

-4th The boys went to Cub Scout Adventure Camp and I went to Florida for a couple days with my mom and my sister.
-5th A week of UK soccer camp. 9-12 and 5-8 in Ontario... A LOT of driving!! The boys had a blast and learned bunches...
-6th Cub Scout Day Camp in Coshocton. I WAS SO SICK OF DRIVING!!!!!
So camps are over, but soccer season is in full swing and we are out of control!! After trying out for 2 teams we decided to let Wyatt play recreation and State League soccer, so he has practice every day. And Austin started playing soccer this year, so he has practice 2 nights a week as well!! And scouts start in 2 weeks... Austin on Monday evenings and Wyatt is supposed to be on Tuesdays, but since I'm his leader I said NO WAY JOSE!! We met for 4 hours last week on Weds to make up for not meeting in September and October. A wise choice...
So, school. We are using Sonlight with some other stuff thrown in and Saxon Math. Both boys are doing 5th grade this year though Wyatt is still officially a 4th grader (I totally disagree with saying "My child is advanced so he's a 9th grader" when socially he's a first grader and age wise a 3rd grader...). It's a juggle since they're using all the same books, but it works well. We started today and even with me under the weather we had a great day!! I love the choice we made and am looking forward to the year :)

The 2 of them together... Getting first day of school pictures this year was a struggle!! LOL
Hours as of now are about a 100 for each boy. That's a pretty good start!!
