LOTS going on at the Pearson House!

I haven't updated in about a week, but that is not to say that nothing has been going on. First of all, this was REPORT CARD week for the girls. They both did VERY well. Taylor Grace made Principal Scholar, which she worked very hard to get, and Mallory did great on her's too. She doesn't have letter grades. K-3 grades on standards. I am so very proud of both of them.

John built our first fire in the fire pit for this winter. We all sat outside and had some good family time around the fire on Friday night. I love days when things are laid back and we can all just relax and "smell the roses".

Then, poor John woke up this morning all stopped up, the head that is! He hasn't felt good all day, but I got him some FREE nose spray at Rite Aide that has pepper in it and he said that it opened him up BIG time. Who knows if it is allergies or a cold. Whatever it is, I hope he feels better soon and especially before this weekend since we are going to the mountains with friends. In between naps, he took the dinning room seats off the chairs so that I could recover them. You read right, I was able to recover the dinning room chairs by myself. Well, I say by myself... I cut the material from tracing one of the pre-existing material from one chair and then I hope to have John or Grampa John help me get them stapled. They are turning out so pretty. It makes me feel so proud to have done something so domestic!

Now everyone is quite and asleep getting ready to start a new week.
