Life is Busy but Good

I don't have many pictures this time, with school I sort of forget about the camera.
School is still going good, thankfully. Jenny told me the other day that she decided that she likes homeschooling cause she likes the schedule and she wants to get smarter than anybody else. I guess if that is what it takes to motivate her, I will use it!!
I haven't done much school work with Rissa yet, but hope to soon hit the books with her too.

Jenny came in a panic the other night cause her tooth fell out. She has been waiting very long for that to happen, but with her personality, it was very dramatic! (~:


The other day I informed David that we needed a family day. He had been home once for supper all week and I overheard one of the girls saying that "they forget what Daddy looks like"! Working two jobs keeps him away too much sometimes! )~:
He agreed, so we decided to stay close to home and go be a tourist in Augusta GA and visit the Savannah River.
We walked the board-walk, and came across a small playground.



The high-light was riding the tour boat. The tour guide was packed full of information, both history and recent. It was very interesting. He was also nice and left the kiddos go for free!
The mansions you see in the background are actually homes. The owners rent their houses out to Celebrities the week of the Masters Golf Tournament for $25,000 for the week!
I must confess that I for awhile thought that a house like one of these would be nice. Customized swimming pools, lots of room, including master bedrooms that are a whole top story of the house, and even an elevator in most of them. But then I thought of all the cleaning and the mortgage payment of $6,000 a month (yes for real), I decided I will keep my humble little home!


Trey thought the boat ride was fun. He has this thing about alligators, so I was disappointed that we could not see the small spot along the river that sports 25 alligators!




It was also 'kids get to drive the boat day', Amber didn't want to, but the others thought it was fun






I promise this is the last thing about these houses. This particular house is one of four that belongs to the man who owns the largest chain of jewelry stores in the state of SC. He built this one for one reason alone, to host parties.




Me and my babies


I have never known a cat like this one is! He actually hugs the girls, seriously, but I am amazed at what he willingly allows them to do to him!
