Homeschool Mother's Journal/Weekly Wrap-up August 3

It's August!  And, today, August 3rd is our 16th wedding anniversary. Wow.  And, with 4 kids in 5 1/2 years, a deployment to Iraq and lots else in between, it has certainly been eventful, but I wouldn't trade these years for anything in the world.  :-)

It was a quiet and relatively uneventful week for a change!  And what a nice change it was!  On Sunday, Kiddo #1 flew with his RC club.

I posted more photos of him flying here.

The kids enjoyed swimming

and we picked cucumbers every day from our garden and were even able to get some peas.

I hosted my weekly recipe linkup and shared my grandmother's homemade gravy (sauce) recipe.  You can find it, and all of the other recipes here.

We supported Chick-Fil-A (I posted about it here), and while we were at the mall, Kiddos 3 and 4 enjoyed a merry-go-round ride.

We are also enjoying the Olympics everyday and are learning about Great Britian, the many different nations that are represented, what their flags look like (boy, there are so many more than when we were kids, lol!) and keeping a medal count.  We are so proud of our Olympians!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!  :-)
