Olympics Update

We finished our Olympic Unit Study except for our field day and field trip to a Chinese Restaurant.

It has rained for most of the week, and when it's not raining, the field is too wet to do anything one. So that is postponed until Friday or Monday. Our favorite Chinese Buffet changed owners and we don't want to go to that one as we haven't heard very many good things about it. But a couple of towns over our favorite buffet has another restaurant. So we will go there as soon as we can fit it into our schedule. It's almost an hours trip one way.

We have practiced using chop sticks, and will request them at the restaurant to use. The kids aren't too happy about that part, as they say they can eat faster with forks. lol I told them they have to use them for a few minutes, anyway.

Today we were supposed to do Day Two of our 100 Push Up Challenge but Hannah and Abby were gone all day, and church ran late, so we will to it tomorrow

100 Pushup Challenge

I started the 100 Pushup Challenge back in June. I was doing fine with it, except for my left wrist. Extending my wrist to be in correct form KILLS! And hurts for hours after I'm done. So, I'm learning to do pushups on my knuckles. Surprisely, it's not that difficult. Yeah, I use a pillow under my knuckles!

Since I had to stop for a few weeks because of my wrist, I'm starting over at week one.

Now, for the fun part!

I'm having the kids do it with me!!

Well, Ok, some of them don't think it's fun. But hey, They can't argue too much when it's assigned schoolwork. lol

We did Week One, Day One today, and everyone lived to tell about it! lol
