Since this is Bob's last Memorial Day on active duty, you might think we would do something really patriotic to celebrate. You would be wrong, however. We have wanted for a few years now to go to the free Marine Corps concert at Wolftrap which is always the Sunday before Memorial Day. Instead, last night Nathan went to a conditioning workout thing (more on that in another post). It was soooo hot and humid yesterday that I was really not that enthusiastic about an outdoor concert. Maybe next year . . . which is what we've said the past few years, LOL.
Yesterday was already busy because after church I had another co-op meeting for this new little junior high co-op we're planning for next year. It looks like it is going to be so good!! One family dropped out, the other family from our church with 5 boys. They live the farthest out, and they also have never done a co-op before, so it was just a bridge too far for them. The mom was just getting too stressed about it all. But that's okay, and we still have enough people! Yesterday we hammered out which literature books we would be covering from Tapestry of Grace, and we talked about the history books too. Siri is going to teach 2 years of Spanish, so she showed us the resources we'll be using for that. I had already sent out an email with all the science books/specimens needed. It was so exciting! I just really like these other 3 ladies and their boys, so I think it is going to be so fun!
Today we woke up without any real plans (other than for sleeping in, LOL), but when we found the driver-side front tire of the Sienna completely flat, something was put on our agenda. We knew it had a leak, but it all of a sudden became more of a priority! So Bob and I dropped it off at Walmart this afternoon, then we contiuned on in the big van for a hot date at Wegmans. I know our amazingly romantic life makes all of you jealous out there! We brought home 2 enormous pizzas from Wegmans for dinner, so we didn't even do a traditional barbeque! Bob did get some corn on the cob, so we will have that later this week.

Your co-ops always sound like so much fun but I can't bring myself to commit to one around here. Every time I think about it I start to feel instantly tied to a schedule with my freedom of movement inhibited. One BIG reason I am so glad to have Russell home with us again. But I do love hearing about all you guys do, and it has on several occasions led to research and learning in this house as well.
Tell Nathan good luck with football -- let us know about his schedule and maybe we can come see a game
LOL to the date comment...Ted and I finally got out for a date on Friday night, and amazingly, we did NOT stop by Walmart at any time, which seemed to be typical of our LV date nights because there was a neighborhood Walmart right around the corner from us there! We did, however, drop into Meijers, so there ya go!
