An update in my life for Amelia and Clara, since they've met me, and might be interested. Might.
five caterpillars are living on my trumpet plant. one of them has been in a cocoon for several days and i am anticipating yet another butterfly in our garden soon.
for tim, a hawk has been living around our parts of late. there is a suspicion that he his stalking one of our cats. but i'm all for that! if it means his spending more time in our backyard. i'm trying to leave out meat for him, but i doubt it'll work. he's all pretty though, with a speckled chest. :)
i technically don't start school until day after labor day [next week], for that is when the other kids will start coming back to our house every day to be home schooled by mom. but, i started some this week. this school year is going to be intense for me. in addition to the regular home school and community college, i've joined this Torrey Academy thing with Biola university. very scary. i have a feeling it's all going to kill me, and i can't wait. xD
i babysat [er, pardon me, "kidsat"] my pastor's kids tonight. i was way nervous leading up to it. but it wasn't bad at all. their house was immaculate and their kids were super well behaved. (cept the youngest is in the temper tantrum stage so i had to ignore him on numerous occasions.) of course, i wasn't paid, but it was nice to let my pastor and his wife go out on a three and a half hour date without the kidos. they went to panera bread and the book store. aww! such wise choices.
Well, that was just today. Saturday night was a great contra dance. My friends Erik and Stephen played the music for the whole thing. Their band is really starting to come out into the contra dance community. Yay for them.
Well, off to bed. I have school tomorrow, and my nephews are coming over in the evening to be babysat. [they were here yesterday as well. and i can tell them apart so, they musn't be identical.]
