As usual, we've been busy. Thus no writing. Some of what we're doing:

* A new thursday co-op with two other families, where I'm teaching writing and the kids are doing Five in a Row, a special "theme week," Story of the World, and P.E.

* Lots and lots of birthday parties. An unprecedented number of birthday parties (3 this week!).

* A "Fall Festival" with our homeschool group tomorrow afternoon.

* A trip to Norfolk to see "Pirates of Penzance" at the opera house.

* A trip to Chesapeake for a LLL enrichment workshop.

* An etiquette class and dinner this afternoon.

* Testing for Frances at gymnastics.

* Me feeling sick much more often than I would like. It's making me a bit crazy, actually.

* Kerry starting a new job--or more accurately, his old job again.
