DD16
- Finished the 200 Sit Up Challenge -- able to do 220 consecutive sit ups! What an amazing thing! She started with being able to do 31. I also started this challenge. I think I did 6. I didn't get beyond week 2 or 3. I need to start again.
- She is keeping up with her 25,000 word NaNoWriMo novel. Looks like she'll be a winner for the 5th year in a row!
- Packed and delivered 3 shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child. She wanted to do this in lieu of my buying presents. I'll probably still buy a few things...since my idea of a completely homemade Christmas hasn't even gotten started.

- Took care of DD11mo whenever I needed help this week. Actually she does this every week. I just needed a lot more help this week! We rearranged the seating at the dining room table so DD11mo is on the end...this way DD13 can feed her and I can eat. It is working out great!
- Scored a perfect 100% A+ on her first Henle Latin Unit Test!
- Keeping up with her NaNo novel also, another 5th year winner in the making!
- Faithfully working on his NaNo novel every morning, he'll be a winner for the 2nd year if he keeps it up!
- Finished Writing with Ease Level 2! Now on to Level 3. Might take this level a little slower -- but we're still set to finish the whole book this school year.
- Continuing to do well with MUS Pre-Algebra, Great Latin Adventure 2, and Challenging Word Problems 4.
- Did their schoolwork when I was available and got it all done!
- Played inside together a lot.
- Played outside together a lot.
- Helped to completely clean the boys' bedroom! Now they have 3 boxes of books (still no bookshelf), 1 box of stuffed animals, 1 box of Playmobil, and 3 boxes of "miscellaneous." Perhaps next week we'll sort the miscellaneous. Or not.

Ouch! Mastitis is awful!
Isn't it wonderful when the big kids take over? You realize that yes, you did do a good job teaching them lifeskills!
I'm going to investigate that 200 situp challenge. It could be something for dd15 and I to do together. She used to be able to do endless crunches when she danced five days a week, but has lost that ability over the last year. Me, I think I can do 5 LOL
it is so nice for the bigger kids to help!! Sorry you were sick glad you are feeling better though!
Maybe I can borrow one of your big kids to take over when I get sick? Wouldn't they love a field trip to Canada? ;-)
Ack! Mastitis is horrible! Glad you had help and I like the multiplication clock.
Bummer about the mastitis. That is never any fun, but it's pretty amazing how much your kids accomplished! I may have to join the sit-up challenge!
I love the painted t-shirt and the multiplication clock is beautiful, too. I hope it works out well for you....
