Today is the first day of autumn....yah, hooray, love fall!

It is 93 degrees here in Vidalia, Georgia, but alas - I'm breaking out the pumpkin recipes and have decorated the house with flora and fauna for fall.

SaraKay had a fight with a neighbor's swing last Thursday, and she lost. Oops - fell off that ol' tree

swing and when the wooden disc swung back at her, it clocked her smack in the forehead.  Fortunately, she did not get hit in the temple; no teeth were knocked out, and she remained conscious.  Whew!  We did get to make an exciting trip to the ER, however.  Five stitches later, and 2 popsicles in tow, the four of us were heading home and thankful it hadn't been a boring evening.  LOL 

Daniel and Greg actually started Cub Scout meetings that same night - Danman is a "bobcat" this year.  He and Greg are heading out to their first "pack" campout this weekend.  I hope they have a ball with their sock coffee, campfire chili and 2-person tent!  I bet they will!

Homeschool is going good, although 3rd grade curriculum is a lot harder tha 2nd grade curriculum.  It has all come back afresh, just how much of a "jump" there is when a student moves up to 3rd.  Same thing seems to happen in 5th and 8th grade, from what I remember.

SaraKay is excited about VHA's "GRANDPARENTS DAY CHAPEL" tomorrow morning.  Ms. Jan (Holt) has agreed to be her adopted grandparent for the day, and she is so happy about that.  I'll post pics later.

And... we're the proud new grandparents of....

4 glow fish.  Eenie, Meanie, Miney and Mo.  Two bright RED; two bright orange.  It's been fun to have them!
