The year is flying by....

Here we are at December already.  It feels like time is just marching by as quickly as it can.  How did that line go from Steel Magnolias....Time marches on and one day you realize it is marching across your face....or words similar to that.


Schoolwork is coming along nicely.  Mr. B is dabbling in Geometry.  Learning about planes, and lines, and segments, and other things I have forgotten since 10th grade.  Little Miss M is learning about reciprocal dividing and reducing ahead of time.  In History we are learning about the British influence on India.  In Science, Little Miss M is learning about cells, tissues, and organs.  Mister B is learning about the different types of energy.  

We have been under construction at home since we are renovating our upstairs bathroom.  We have been showerless for longer than I would have liked.  It amazing what you find when you rip down walls.

Day 1-walls coming down.  To the right you can see the junction box that was hidden by the medicine cabinet that was not properly taken care of.  A miracle the house has not burned down.

Turns out we have had a long term leak in the wall.  That is my disintegrating house.  This will need to be taken care of in the Spring.

The tub is being removed.

This is the leaky pipe that has been destroying my kitchen ceiling.  Apparently it has been leaking for years.  Due to our hard water the hole would seal itself and then the water would break through again and reseal the hole.

Hi, mom, that is Harry carrying out part of the tub.

Here is the hole in my kitchen ceiling.  It got much larger once they started banging around up there.

The good news is the new tub should be installed tomorrow morning and some kind of showering will be able to happen.  Showering at the JCC while the kids are in swim practice is getting old.
