Gearing up for school...

It's that time of year again. Time to go shopping for uniforms, school supplies and lunch bags. Time to register for classes, figure out schedules, consider what sports to do. Yes, we are gearing up for school already.

Tanner will be taking Calculus 3, Physics I, Engineering I and Computer Programming. I'll be taking Psychology I and Biology I. I've decided to hold off on the math because they don't offer it as an internet course, and right now, with full time work, kids and Tanner's course load, I just can't fit an on campus class into our schedule. Kate will be entering 1st grade this year, and we're considering soccer for her sport. I know that Reagan is going to miss her big sister fiercely, but if all goes well, then Reagan will be able to do soccer in January with her big sister.

We're trying to wind up all of our summer projects. Tanner installed a front door screen yesterday, and he added a third swing to the girls' swing set. He is almost done with siding the east side of the house, and in the next few weeks we should have the girls' room textured and painted. I'm 1/2 way there on that project, so the girls should be sleeping in their room by Wednesday.

We're down to one laptop and the one that is working seems to be overheating, so it's time to start saving up for a new one. Thank goodness laptops just seem to keep getting cheaper and cheaper, so we'll only be out a few hundred dollars when this one finally gives up the ghost. Laptops are a must when going to school, almost like a textbook, but we don't need anything fancy, and I think something that can run Word and Explorer is all that we need.
