Busy Days...

We've been back to school now for three weeks (though only two officially).  The little ones were chomping at the bit to get started and fortunately I gave in, because things have been busy!  We went with Papa on an over-night business trip (that included two days of sightseeing), a class on baby sea animals at a nearby beach, had godparents visit last weekend, a week of landscaping work going on at the church (and that means Mama has lunch to prepare for hungry guys to eat each day), a couple of late summer pool playdates, an auntie visit for an overnight, and tomorrow my aunt and uncle are arriving to spend a long weekend with us.

Somehow we have gotten all of our schoolwork done each day...  by the skin of our teeth.  This is one of the reasons why I like to homeschool though.  We would miss out on a lot if we sent our children to school. 

Sugar Plum made friends with this tiny little butterfly yesterday.  It carefully climbed onto her finger and posed for a few photos before flitting off into the evening.  She has been talking about it all day!
