A stolen quiet moment...

The boys and I played a few rounds of Candy Land while Greg napped and then they decided to get on their costumes and play Harry Potter. They are casting spells on one another in the other room. I have a minute to myself!

So, I have definitely adjusted to having little Greg around. He is a good baby, doesn't cry much, and the boys get excited when he comes. I think this will definitely work out! Slowly, but surely, our debt will be g-o-n-e. Then we can save up and move to Chapel Hill in a few years!

I have been considering the summer lately...what part-time camps to put Aidan in and whether or not to homeschool year round. I will (of course) give him a break in the spring and in the summer, but 3 months off? I don't think that is the best idea. He wants to do soccer camp and I am going to sign him up for a wilderness camp (hiking, fishing, etc), and perhaps a VBS. I don't know if we should just continue on with math and reading, or with everything. I don't want him to be burned out but I don't want him to forget things either. I would like a nice balance.
We will definitely have lazy days and a lot of time on our gigantic waterslide in the backyard, but 3 months seems a bit endless for doing nothing. :)
