So kiddo is upstairs doing her lessons, DH is at work, Me- I have a "short list" of things to do today, the sun is shining (though high only in the low 50's... but as we like to say, "Hey, at least it isn't SNOWING!")
I spent yesterday finishing up my lesson plans for Unit one of Tapestry of Grace Year 3. I just have to enter weeks 9 & 10 into Homeschool Tracker, print up a few things for notebooking, and that will be that. I also hammered out what to do next in IEW. Both of those things will also take place in weeks 9 & 10 of TOG.
Tonight kiddo has soccer practice. My DH is the assistant coach. So far, we've yet to actually PLAY a game since one was canceled due to a flooded field and the other game was forfeited by the other team, thereby a WIN for us! The kids are SOOOOOOO ready to just go play! This is our daughter's third soccer season. She's been placed this season in midfield, having previously dominated on the defensive line. So, we'll see how that goes. Our team has one kid whose never shown up and apparently isn't planning to, thus leaving us one person short. This means no rotations. That's bad enough during a regular game day, but even worse on a day of double headers!
Her homeschool volleyball program finished up. She starts a homeschool track program tomorrow. I'm so thankful that there are opportunities such as these for her here. She really liked volleyball. She's not much "into" running but wanted to give track a try. They'll go through all the various aspects of track and field, giving each a try. Track meets 2x/week just for May. Not too long to feel overwhelmed but long enough to get something out of it. Nice!
We're LOVING our guinea pigs! Yes! I said PIGS. We got Theo a friend, another male. I named him DINKY cause he’s little. Theo has had his issues with Dinky, trying to establish dominance, but it’s working itself out. They are both happy together. It isn’t any more work to have two than it was one, and barely any additional cost involved. Just so much fun and such different personalities. Love it!
Here's little Dinky:
 He's WAAAY smaller than Theo.
And here they are together, munching on some corn husks this morning:
 Look at how much Theo has grown in the time that we've had him!
He has a double chin now. LOL
This afternoon I need to finish up my reading and "pre-quiz answer gathering" (open book quiz) for my Biology 100 class. I tell you, I really had no clue how VERY different taking a college course online would be vise what I was used to-- sitting in a classroom listening to lectures. *sigh* But only a couple weeks left in the course! Registration will be soon for the next 8 week term which starts in June.
Well, I suppose that's it for now. Time to get crackin' on my list of TTD.
**Edited to add (in response to a comment left)... Dinky is smaller because he is a lot younger than Theo. We got him because he specifically was young. It is (typically) easier to introduce two boars when one is younger. And, TTD= things to do.  |

The pigs are too cute! Is Dinky just little, or is he a lot younger, or...? :)
Your planning with the HS Tracker is challenging to me... in a good way! I need to start planning things better.
