August 11-15

I know I know. Still behind. :o) Alex is now in kindergarten and he has homework!!! Can you imagine?? Not just a little either. It's like several pages each night to do and practicing writing his name. School has not gotten off on the best foot so far. He was in the principal's office 2 times on Monday. Hopefully things will get better SOON!! Michael gets Alex off the bus at 4:15 and starts on homework, I get home from work, cook dinner and then Michael leaves at 6:00 for work. Then comes the bath and bedtime and WOW where has the night gone. It's pushed MY evening routine well into the wee hours of the night. I'm out feeding the dogs now after Alex is in bed at 8:30 and then trying to keep the garden under control.

We got a new puppy. Like we needed another dog. He's just like Ellie our Great Pyranees. We picked him up last week. He's had several names so far. Alex likes Fireball, Daddy liked Moses and Mom likes Sasha (Alexander in Russian). So far Mommy is winning!! He's going to another LGD for the goats. Right now we have him in with the boys. I'll post a pic of him a bit later!! Mom has taken several with her camera but I've not had a chance. She took them to Walmart and had them developed so hopefully she hasn't deleated them from her camera or I'll just have to snap one of my own. :o)
