The floor in the bathroom on our main floor gets pretty wet when the girls shower. And the ceiling gets mildew. So, time to put up a shower curtain, at least that can keep the floor from getting so wet
Daniel found a painting tutorial he liked.
Evelyn's quilt coming along.
We had some campfires outside, usually on a Sunday evening.
More kite flying.
The top secret quilt's design coming together.
Sandbox weather.
The pool. Is always green. So frustrating. I'm about done with scrubbing and shocking it for the year.
Evelyn is really pleased with how her quilt is coming.
Matthew managed to find some free time to work on technic.
He told me about how it worked and what improvements he'd made to it.
The pool is shut for the year. Good! I'm very happy about that.
The shower curtain is up. If you shut the curtain you can't even see the iron stains everywhere. Bonus!
Philip is still working from home every day. Which works great for us. Any math or physics students that need help can usually find him when he comes down for a coffee and get the help they need to get past whatever they are stuck on.
I can still manage to help Evelyn with all of her math still.
Nathan came down with a math test for me to mark. I just look at the answer key and see if things match...that's all he needs. If he wants help, he has to ask his Dad later.
Daniel comes down to the kitchen more often now, to work on his math. He wants to be able to concentrate more, I'm not sure how much this helps, but maybe between distractions he can focus better overall?
Evelyn loves having painting as an activity.
Jennifer, not so much. But she still does some nice paintings. But gravitates to the easy-to-do ones.
Melanie comes to do her piano...it's a nice morning break from her math, usually.
See my painting, Mom?
Matthew does his reading in his room. He is usually laying or sitting on the floor in a very awkward pose. But he gets his work done, even if it's halfway upside down.

Evelyn did a beautiful job on her quilt!
And that is quite the contraption that Matthew built. It looks like an army vehicle.
Isn't wonderful to have a husband who can help with math and science?! Solke was my lifesaver for those subjects as well.
Do you fill your pool yourselves with well water? We did that for years - and finally a few years ago we switched to water being pumped in every spring from a water truck. Since then, the work and cost of keeping the green out was lessened considerably. Although it costs a bit to get the water pumped in, it was cheaper than all the chemicals we were throwing into the pool to keep it stable. If you are not on a well, and you do not fill it up this way, then this whole message can be ignored :P PS. We have the same slide - we just put it in this fall - we can't wait to use it next year!
