Jennifer--no, I haven't seen your get up and go. I suspect it's hanging out with mine.
School is almost done for the day. I just have a bit of grading to do. Ds3 did a cool experiment today involving a maginfying glass and flashlight. An upside down image gets projected on the screen. Next up for him is explaining why!

Kennewick high school is across the street from the library. Well, the high school has asked the library to ban students during 'school hours'.
No, no, don't let them go learn something while we are trying to teach them! LOL
I understand their reasoning--they don't want kids to skip class to hang out at the library. But, come on, the library? And what about lunch and free period? And don't the teachers take roll, anyway, so they will know who wasn't in class? If I skipped without permission (and I only did it once) I got saturday school. If a kid skips it doesn't matter where he goes instead, but we should all be happy if he goes to the library, lol.

So if the library enforced that request, then Nate would be banned too wouldn't he? That's ridiculous. I take my kids to the library during school hours because that is when the parking garage is less crowded and so is the library. We can browse at leisure.

Today is our last weekday of no school. Dh& Ds are with MIL today, so it's just Dd and me. On Monday, we start up school again and a bit of a schedule.

It's a different library from the one we use, and the librarians where we go know my kids by name (well, if they didn't, the boys' pictures are still on their wall! LOL) and wouldn't kick them out. But what about the Running Start, alternative ed, homeschooled kids in Kennewick? I can only hope they have some sort of method for disallowing only the one group of kids...but I'm thinking that probably isn't the case.

Jerry just called!
he is in Kuwait--- they will head across the boarder around 4am his time(it is like 11pm there now). it was good to hear his voice, even if it was tired and weary sounding. He has had less than 4 hours sleep the last 24. please continue to remember him in your prayers.

Ezri, I will be praying for him and his continued safety.
When will he be home or do you have like a ballpark idea?

Thanks for the prayers for him. he sounded so tired. I almost feel bad for being so HAPPY he called. I know he has been there for a bit and that he has very likely been nodding and grunting during briefings worryin' about how/when he was gonna get in touch with me to let me know he was there and safe. He ended up using his gov CC to make the call. 2 minutes... I wonder how much that is gonna cost uncle sam?
mom24,
He is over on a 2 week long pre-deployment site survey mission. He should be home the 14th. The unit starts signing into active duty on the 21/22. They do the going away bash on that friday then leave for Ft Bragg.

I ordered Nate's CAT test yesterday. I have never done the test-at-home thing. We always used a teacher to assess the kids. Anyway, it's supposed to take a bit over five hours, so obviously we won't do it all in one day. His and others, how do you handle it?

Jennifer--we do Iowa Basics. It is broken down by subject, then each subject broken down even more. Each test is timed. We figure out ahead of time what we would like to get done each day. We generally test no more than 2hrs/day. Although, if it is super easy stuff--science/social studies/geography--then they might push it a bit. The older guys generally do very well. Ds4 is the one what I really have to watch for fatigue. We will finish that test, then take a break, sometimes until the next day.

So on these tests are they testing actual knowledge of those subjects, or is it a read-and-answer-the-question thing? Because we don't follow the scope and sequence.
Nate is just being bratty today and I have had it! Good thing he's going away for the weekend, lol.

Tests are multi-choice. Does your kid know how to think? If so, he'll ace it. Don't worry about not covering what you were "supposed" to cover. We don't follow a scope and sequence and my guys test grade levels above every year.

Loooks good ez......I like the square gromets better than the round.....I think that's the only thing I would change overall. I know you have other pics to use....you should get an excellent grade on this.

because we have a pop up camper that won't pop up right now. 
The cranking system broke & we just haven't had the money or time to get it fixed! 
Has anyone seen my get-up-and-go? I seem to have misplaced it. 
I thought that was awesome.)
