Fifth Grade

Fifth Grade may prove to cause my demise! Honestly how did I do it three times before? The girls did it effortlessly, Ann most effortlessly of all. Chris has turned it in to the worst grade of my life, (I thought Mary had done that with homeschooling 7th grade!)

Homework isn't really assigned homework, it is the classwork he didn't get done. Wednesday night and Thursday night we suffered through four hours of Chris not staying on task. Honestly, Mrs. Hutton, his teacher, will deserve a two week child-free vacation at the end of the year and I'm afraid Mike and I are going to have to pay her expenses!

Yeesh!

Pumpkin pie

We got one pumpkin out of our garden this summer.  It was smallish.  I cut the corn stalks and tied them together and put them on the front porch with the little pumpkin next to them foe decoration for October.  November 1st I threw out the cornstalks and moved the pumpkin to the other side of the door, and I thought, "I wonder what it takes to make pumpkin pie from a real pumpkin."  So, thanks to google, I found a  Website , and, voila!  Mike and I made two of the most delicious pumpkin pies in the history of our pumpkin pies!  No time to take a photo, one is history, the other is in the freezer!
