Year #2

Stanford testing in two weeks. Wrapping up our second year of schooling. So hard to believe how fast it has gone. We are all tired and ready to call it a year already...we will make it. I do plan on having the kids work on math this summer. Landon will also start Spanish and will be taking Driver's Ed this next month! How can this be?

The kids have done great this year...just a lot of days where they would try to push their way out of doing certain things. The million dollar question a lot of days was, "Mom, are we having a full day today?"
YES! I really have no idea why they would even ask that.

There have been days where I say this is it, but I know deep down we will pick up year #3 in our journey....continued prayers would be great!

Come on Summer!!!

This school year is FLYING BY....

Chloe working hard

Joshua working hard:)



Hard to believe we are this far into our 2nd year of home schooling. It is going a lot faster and a lot better than our 1st year! Here are a few pics of Chloe and Joshua working on the solar system we did a while back....I am so far behind on keeping up with this blog...bad huh?

Merry CHRISTmas

I can not believe we are so close to yet another Christmas! I pray that everyone has a safe and Blessed holiday. Remember the REASON for the Season...

Looking Ahead

How can it already be November? Mom was right, once you have kids the time will seem to fly by. Oh, how right she was! Just marked the 24th anniversary of my moms passing. It never is easy when this time of year comes around. I think of her often when I see the days and months pass by faster than I would like them to. I so wish she could have been here to see me married and to see her grandbabies. I truly believe one day she will.

The kids and I are looking forward to the Thanksgiving break, we need to really buckle down these next 2 weeks and get as much as we can done and try hard to be at a good stopping point. I hope that this Thanksgiving break I will be able to put the school stuff up and lock my office and stay OUT! I need to make it a point to do that and not mess with school during this wonderful time of year. A season of THANKS!

I am so very thankful for a lot of things....my GOD, family and friends....with out any of them, this life would not be fun that is for sure. My hope is for everyone to take a moment and really think about what they are Thankful for and truly enjoy this time of year and to see just how lucky we all are!

Art

Joshua had his first art class on Friday. He did wonderful I do believe:)

He really enjoyed it. The class is held at Hobby Lobby every Friday for two hours, the lady teaches with pastels. This will clash with our sports day stuff the kids do, but I will leave it up to him which he wants to do when they clash every other week.



He came home sharing all about it...and plans on doing some practice work this next week. We shall see what he comes up with next.

Something Fun
