Woodworking

Josh has decided on a loft bed plan - from furniture plans.com or something like that - and they're going to make it. If it turns out well, we'll make one for each child - 6 of them! My mother is probably moving back out here, so Becca will have to give up her bed. The plans are very nice and you download them from the site. Mission style. It will be a good learning experience and a good time with Dad. :-) He really needs to build a bookshelf too...and maybe a locker to keep some stuff in...and garage cabinets...ok, ok, I'm done now!

Half of my brain is working toward starting school in the Fall...18ds has one more year, but recently he's decided to look into the police program in which he can get immersed into the thick of things to see if it's what he wants to do. He's become disillusioned with CAP, saying that it's more like a hang out for high school. He's ready to get serious. So we have to find out what he needs - if it's a high school diploma, we'll have to fast track next year for him (I really mean, HE will have to fast track) and finish up. He'll also have to find a job for the winter, since installing windshields doesn't happen during the winter in the mountains.

It's time to start buying books...Apologia, here I come!
