Good morning!

I have a family co-op/potluck luncheon today that we're going to.

See, before the split, BA CHEF had a hugh co-op that I participated in a couple of times but didn't care for it because of the attitudes of the ladies that ran it. They were rude and it cost a fortune. I think I've complained about it in the Hole before, long time ago.

Anyway when the split happened, the new group took responsibility of the co-op. They said they'd *let us* participate for one year. (Bully for them, since many had already PAID!) If I'd been participating, well, you know what I woulda told them.

So now we have the smaller, better BA CHEF. My pictorial directly is almost finished and will be complete with every member...all forty of us.

So a couple of the ladies got together and decided to start this "family co-op" thing...it's a neat concept and here it is. Everyone is pretty much together in a big fellowship hall. Everyone...from the babies up and everyone is basically studying the same thing but just on their level. This time we're studying apples. The babies will be grouped together messing with apples, possibly eating apple sauce or something, all the way up to the high schoolers who will be studying a biology lesson, with the apple as a part of it. Then everyone but the babies will get together and make caramel apples!

The cost is FREE except I have to bring a potluck dish (I'm bringing a lasagna) and we also have to bring a bag of caramels and some apples. Otherwise, you don't pay a teacher...we ARE the teachers!

I like this concept a whole lot more than that cattle stockyard of a co-op we had before!

We've been vey busy. Last night, Matthew said "Mom, I know you said that this year we would be doing a lot more stuff than we did last year...but this really overdoing it!"

LOL! Hopefully it'll slow down soon. But next week we go to the pumpkin patch and then the next week we go to a gun safety shooting thing at a policeman's farm! That's on top of Latin, gymnastics and Royal Ambassadors! That doesn't include the things I do just by myself (meetings, dinners) or church!

So I'm sorry I'm not around as much...but I'm vey busy!!

Have we heard from ROSIE?? How's the new job?
