     Well hello Tuesday! Pretty good weekend here at the Wiley home.  We are getting alot of remodeling and renovation done on our home. Our wonderful missionaries volunteered 2 complete days to help Rob drywall a new bedroom and also start on the new bathroom installation for downstairs!  That's always exciting to me!  Today the girls and I painted my bathroom a beautiful shade called Morning Zen.  Love love love it. And it's true I do love the name just as much as the actual color!  Everyone helped out and we had alot of fun.  We took a break so Hannah could take a government test (which she got 100% on!) and then went right back to painting.  Just some trim work left to be done.  I am exhausted! Started my mornning off with Day 1 of P90x.  I am pretty excited about it because I have heard about and seen some awesome results from friends. I am totally modifying Ab Ripper tho, because of my hysterectomy I had in late November...just dont feel 100% yet and dont want to mess anything up! But all in time....
      For January's homeschool news, Aubry is working on 3rd year French (she is translating an entire book for this credit!) and she is also preparing for her next ACT exam in February. She is also preparing to take her Parenting final and Art final thru BYU Independant study.  On top of all this, Aubry is working on a government course also.  We are focusing alot on French with her right now since she will be leaving for France in June with 5 others from her French classes back in Missouri. (I am trying to not think about the movie Taken!)  As for Hannah, she is right on course with Spanish and she is learning to read several verses from the Spanish Bible. She is working on government as well and also taking a Responsible Dating and Decisions course thru BYU Independant Study. (I could go on and on about how much I love the BYU courses! So thorough and revelant to today's times for young adults!)  Hannah is also attending co op once a week (beginning in Feb) where she is signed up for photography and economics courses.  (Her Spanish is thru the co op too!) In a few months we will start on some literature, poetry and creative writing using Sonlight Curriculum.  My sweet little Maddie is still going to preschool everyday (half days) and loving it.  I am back and forth about HS her just yet.  I am pretty sure we will let her go to kindergarten in the fall so she can have that experience and also be around other kids her age.
     As I am writing this, I am listening to the rain just pour down outside.  I love days like this!  I'm thinking its just about time to make a bite to eat, put up my feet, and relax!  Possibly cruise around Pinterest??? LOL Of course I will be on Pinterest.  It's my current love of all loves online!!! So...with that...I hope everyone has a great one!
