Woodwater Farmhouse

WOW, I can't believe I got a post up this week! It's crunch time here at The Joys of Home Educating as we are nearing the end of our journey in this home.  Only 14 days until we close on our new home and 2 weeks after that we turn this home over to the new owners!  Last Friday:  We started our Kids Bowl Free Program up again. Except for some bowling league members, we were it at the place (usually the case until public school lets out) . Kids did well for their first time out this year! Saturday:  We attended a 130th Anniversary town celebration for the local family owned hardware/lumber store.  There was a lot to see and do. The girls had a blast! Other things:  I took the kids out to lunch one day by the lake where my FIL used to live. A few towns over. It's pretty and a nice time out away from all the packing and boxes!   The stuffed dog was a "find" in a box up in the attic!  It was my oldest (soon to be 28) stuffed do...

It's been a few weeks since I have shared our world with you on the blog (Instagram is another story) . It's been a BUSY few weeks!  We started our summer school schedule this week and packing is kicked into high gear. We have only 3.5 weeks until we close on our new home and two weeks after that the movers come. (we are doing some work before we move in) Sadly the Cardinal baby and unhatched egg were gone one morning from the nest 8(   Molly in her 1st fashion show. The designer uses the same sewing studio as Molly has lessons and they have become fast friends.  It was a night to remember for sure.  My mother and I went to The Castle in Tarrytown, NY (quaint river town on the Hudson) It was a belated birthday present for me and afterwards we did some antique shopping. Fun afternoon! School has been winding down and we scheduled a vacation right before the house "stuff" gets rockin and rolling. We spent better part of a week...
