Do you know that commercial with the guy sitting behind a desk saying,
“I can do that. I can do that….How am I going to that?”
That’s kind of how I felt at the beginning of this week.
The kids had 3 cross country meets.
I had 3 writing deadlines.
I had a consignment sale to prepare for and drop-off the clothes for.
My son had a 2 hour appointment for testing that was 35 minutes away.
My daughter started back to violin lessons, and we had a field trip that I had scheduled (and paid for) well in advance.
And there was school to do. And cooking. And laundry. Cleaning pretty much didn’t happen this week.
But I made it! In one piece. And I did everything that I had scheduled.
We had a nice time at Old Salem Homeschool Days with friends.
This lady happens to be our pastor’s mother and church pianist. But she also works as a guide at Old Salem.
We learned about pipe organs.
This is the joiner shop.
The potter.
Learning about levers.
And pumps.
Trying out a balance.
Making lye for soap.
The Viegler House.
It looks like I wasn’t the only one who had a long week!
Great Field trip:) Hope you will consider linking up to the Field trip hop at http://lifesadventures-amb-fieldtriphop.blogspot.com/

Sounds like a very busy week. So glad you got everything done that you wanted to. And that field trip looks like a lot of fun. Love the pictures. 🙂
Oh my goodness, what a busy week. When I have to face weeks like this I hold my breath, do one thing at a time and don’t think about the rest. I focus on one thing at a time…so hopefully I don’t go crazy!
Blessings,
Laurie
What gorgeous pictures of pioneer days! My kids would have loved this field trip!
Cool fieldtrip! We had a similar one a couple of weeks ago. These are always fun and also a breather in those busy weeks.
