Welcome to the Wright Home!

We're packing up and going to Branson for the weekend! Here we thought we were going to be quietly working on school things and not have much going on for a while. Buddy has some work to do there so we'll get to tag along. Originally, it was going to be tomorrow as usual, until after church. But last night we got a phone call from him on his way home saying we could go TODAY! Needless to say, the kids are thrilled and want to go NOW! I've got some things to pull together and we'll be off.

So far, we're doing well on our "summer school" schedule- eating breakfast and doing school in the am, doing our "special", some small project, and plenty of play time. Monday we got our books and did errands, Tuesday was library day and the kids were excited to start their school work. Yesterday, they were a little more reluctant, but we got it done and done well. We had a surprise play date with Zach and Gariella, friends for the past 4 years. We were close to not getting our science project done, but squeezed it in at the end! We were talking about air pressure and how it's pushing on us all the time, we just don't realize it. So, the experiment was putting a child in a trash bag with their head sticking out, using a vacuum cleaner to such the air out of the trash bag, and letting them "see" air pressure. Surprisingly, Catherine wanted to try, too. Quick, easy, not messy and educational all in one!
Today we'll do school on the way and take some for tomorrow, which will help with waiting for Buddy to finish his job. I'm hopeful we can go play in the lake and enjoy the beautiful weather! 1st time this year in the water, so we're excited!
