Busy ... (what else is new???)

Trying to prepare house to have an 18 month old this weekend. Our house is so not toddler proof! Yikes. New rule: toddlers and babies on weekends only :-). Five sets of eyes and hands are the only way this will get done.

On the other hand, it's the county Fair this weekend, and it might be fun to have a little one to take on the kiddie rides ;-).

First lamb has been shipped to Uncle Ted's ... looking forward to finding out the quality of our lamb this year!

Alison is busily getting the sheep club display ready. Chimney sweep tomorrow. Foster parents' meeting tomorrow night. Dropping off display at fairgrounds Thursday night. Long-awaited Picton Skateboard Park ceremony Thursday night. Training night for new church sound system Thursday night. (Can you see our predicament? LOL. And at some point, our weekend visitor must come for a pre-placement visit (... but when?!?!?!). Oh yes, and two and a half cords of wood to stack.

Iain's homeschool program starts on Thursday, so he is very excited. So far our school year has started smoothly! He is really working on being focused, and some of what we are doing is just plain fun! Had a great phone call from the grade 7 teacher who will be his phys ed teacher for the program ... he is new to the school but it sounds like he is going to be just as amazing as the other teachers at Sonrise. Nice that he's a guy too! I'm hoping that on of these afternoons during school I'll be able to do some fleece washing and carding ... I have nine fleeces from July and September to ready for spinning.

Okay, my five minute window is over ... looking forward to our schedule settling down somewhat. Ha, ha. But I have been told that month long lapses in blogging are not acceptable ;-). It's true!

Cheers, all!
