Three Posts Rolled Into One

Three things that are worth sharing, totally unrelated, but all worth sharing.
First: I have been enjoying learning the Shorter Catechism with the boys. We have been using lessons that we found online here. We love it! I have been going to Kidzone to print pages for Samuel to trace printed and Benjamin to trace cursive copies of the questions and answers. I was happy with it at first, but the past few months I have been getting pop-ups and having problems getting the pages printed. I am enough of a cheapskate not to actually purchase software to print worksheets. Yes, I know that is pathetic. But now I have come across a sight that I can print trace pages or pages for copy work, that also has math, geography and other things along with it. It is called Worksheetworks. . No pop-ups or times where the page freezes up and refuses to print. Happy and Cheap. That's me.

Samuel did something today that has the potential to be very embarrassing. We were walking home after church. Samuel took off and to the door way before us. Mark and I were talking and I looked up and said, "Where did Samuel go?" We looked for him and it seemed like he had disappeared. Then he came from behind a tree. He had to go the bathroom, and the door was locked so he found a tree. In the front yard. The front yard that is attached to the church parking lot. Nobody said anything about seeing him. Maybe nobody did. We had a talk about not *going* in the front yard. How did we have such a redneck son?

I have a new workout routine. If the physical activity is not enough, the political garbage of listening to Obama will turn my stomach to the point where I can't eat. I should lose weight either way.
