We are continuing to work on the house. The plumber came this weekend and now it is ready to get the drywall finished. The drywall guys are supposed to be here tomorrow.
Kendall is still doing well with using the potty. It is hard when we are on the road going here and there. She pooped in the potty today. She is really putting words together in sentences. She continues to amaze me at the things she does.
Progress notes go out on Tuesday and I haven't put a grade in yet. I guess I know what I will be doing tomorrow at school. I tried to log on from home but apparently there is an issue with my computer and it will not bring up my gradebook. That stinks!
Here are a few pictures of the house.

It's been a while since I have had any time to post. It is almost 11:30 now but oh, well, here goes.
Kendall has been trying to potty train. For the past two days, she hasn't wet in her diaper except for nap time while she was at daycare. She has been using it a lot at home also. It is hard for me to be consistent because we are on the road constantly. I think I am going to have to pack a potty in my truck! Ha! (John and Kate Plus 8) But really, I may have to do this. I really don't like public restrooms or port-a-potties.
Chance had his first middle school ball game on Tuesday. He started the 8th grade as quarterback but only played the first half. Their line isn't very strong so the coach took him out so he wouldn't get hurt. Then he started the 7th grade game also. Out of 4 runs he scored 3 touchdowns and out of 3 passes, he passed for 2 touchdowns. He had a really good game.
Corey and Chance both have girlfriends now. Texting has been the main way of communicating. :) It's a good thing they have unlimited text.
I got my hair cut off again last Sat. I also got highlights. It is cut shorter in the back and longer in the front ( that angled cut). I like it alright but it takes much longer to fix.
School has been going. It has been a rough few days. I have 6 kids ready for Time Out on Monday. I have to get things nipped now so it will be a good year. Most of the X's have been for incomplete work. They will just have to realize they are the ones responsible for doing it. We'll see how the rest of the year goes.

It has been a wild last two days. I started school on Wed. with 26 students in my class. That is a huge change from last year with only 12. Things are going well so far, just trying to get back into the swing of things.
Chance and Corey started at ACES. The adjectives were "fine" from Corey and "alright" from Chance when I asked how the first day went.
Kendall fell into my mom's rosebush and scratched her face up. It bled and had thorns still in it when it happened. But in a few minutes she was ok. Today she was stung by a wasp at the Daycare but was fine from it also. It must be her week to have things happen.
We have run into a problem with the completion of our house. The man doing it has messed up the plumbing and it is going to have to be redone. So, this makes the walls in the bathroom have to be torn down to run the pipes.
Also, he left a sewage line vent open under our house which was letting out fumes which contain methane gas. This was very dangerous for us and we didn't even know it until yesterday. It is fixed now.
The Lord took care of Kendall and I because we had been sleeping really close to where the pipe was at. For some reason that I didn't know, Kendall and I stopped sleeping in that bedroom about a week or two ago. We were sleeping on a mattress in the living room. I guess now I know why but at the time I just decided to do it.
Needless to say, the man is no longer working on our house. There are several other issues but I won't go into them. Well, it will get done just not as soon as I wanted.
