the principle has left the building

Well hello for the last month and a half Stevan has been home which means I had very very little free time. It has been a very happening month and a half though. We have all the goat babies born. We got all does this year. My big mama suzy died though it was very very sad to see. We ended up with three bottle babies which I traded one for goat milk to raise the other two on. All in all it's been fun for the kids. Wesstin talks about his babies all day and plays with them a lot. Stevan had to have knee surgery. It went really good and today is his first day back.
While Stevan was home he really helped me get more organized and getting school more on track. I lovingly called him the principle and he does not cut you any slack. He helped me see that I waste a lot of time and that if I buckle down with the kids and get through the hard stuff now it will make a world of difference. It was also really nice to have an extra hand to help Wesstin through the day. I'm missing that already. Our neighbor Lisa also started tutoring Hayden with his spelling which he is making giant leaps in now. She taught school for while way back when and actually went to school for it so she has helped me with new ideas of how to get through the road blocks. We also made a much more strict schedule all through the day and it has helped the boys stay focused knowing exactly what is expected of them through the day. Funny how that works huh? overall life is going good.
