Sunday
10:20

Only two more days of freedom remain. Wednesday, Z and J start the new school year. And I will be getting up when M gets up for work so that I can get the kids fed and dressed. My plan is to drop off the younger kids first since they start earlier, then drop off N. Later I have to pick up Z because she only goes half day kindergarten. It will be difficult to keep Z on track with his home school though. I am hoping that since I only have one child to instruct, that it will go faster and he will understand the material better. We will see. I am sure that I will have to make adjustments in the beginning.

The weather is pretty good right now so I think that I will take the kids to the park later to ride their bikes. Unfortunately it requires the use of both the van and the truck. I am also hoping that it will not storm later in the afternoon as it has been the past week.

I need to make plans for camping this coming weekend. I guess I will take the boys but am debating on what tent to take. If I take my dad's old tent, I have to set it up and seal the seams and the outside before using it. I would like to because it is easy to put up but might be leaky. I would like to camp somewhere different than Houston Mesa. Maybe towards Christopher Creek because it is near the creek, but I don't know about flood risks.
