I'm almost finished getting the kids enrolled into a new "school". It's a Virtual Charter School for SC students, and is tailor made for kids like mine. The enrollment process has been a bear but I finally got the last of the paperwork submitted and now all we have to wait on is testing dates for placement. The great part of this school is it allows us to continue home schooling yet the kids have all the advantages and benefits of public school. We are all pretty excited about it.
My son has found "employment" of sorts. He wants an XBox Elite and I told him he had to earn it so he's been doing just that. Cutting grass, doing odd jobs here and there, he's really giving it his all.
My daughter wants a WII and the same rule applies. It's tougher for her to earn money since she is only 12 but we're working on it.
The grand plans for the mini-farm are not panning out as expected. We ran into many snags - weather being the main one. The trees still need to come down. We did finish fencing off the lower section so the goat can roam freely without doing any more destruction. She's done a number on the yard. My son hasn't helped matters since he has discovered the joys of go-carting in the woods and all. The garden is not in yet. I'm growing the plants from seed and most are ready for transplant but the ground isn't ready. The pool is still covered - no clue when we can get to that. Too many pans in the fire.
The Circus came to town. Courtesy of my BIL. He's a Ring Master and also does other things contractually. We do the circus carny routine once a year. If I never smell elephant again it will be too soon.
The ponies feeding their bellies and awaiting saddling for the rides.
Long shot of one of the elephants getting a bath before the show. There's Peter taking care of the ponies.
Goofing around after the show. 1 guess as to who the Ring Master is.
Check back because I'll be adding some photo's.
