Austinsons

Branch - This week I did my forestry practice.  I finished my Seekers work.  Dove season opens tomorrow.  Soccer starts soon.  I built a toy boat and I cleaned my gun for hunting.  I've been cooking eggs for myself each morning in the little fry pan I use for camping.  Eggs are my favorite vegetable!  ha ha

Journey - I have a new bird and I named him Bongo.  He's very loud.  I finished writing my essay about which job I would like to have for one year (pastry chef).  I'm trying to finish my sixth grade math book, and Branch and I are also working in First Form Latin.  I'm going out to lunch tomorrow with Mommy and another teacher at the college.  I read ChubChub his science and history books during school.

ChubChub - I have had fun reading with mommy and doing math.  I am trying to read in English now.  I can read only in Spanish.  Last night I went with Daddy to Stone's Hardware, and I got some free samples. 

Mo'M - Busy week.  Working on Algebra with the three older boys and trying to juggle the three younger kids.  Trying to find my brain because I know it's somewhere around here.  Maybe under the pile of unfolded clothes in my room?  No, perhaps under the stacks of books on every flat surface.  Probably upstairs under the un-filed paperwork. Anyway, I've been reading through some of my cookbooks, and I really want to make a pile of Chinese steamed buns the cheater way (please don't think I'm a slacker, Becky)!
