The First Week

  • Homeschooling kicked off on Monday!
  • As did my WAY cool contest ... if you haven't gone and entered, please do!!!
  • Our days have been busy and good.
  • Kind of like the anniversary weekend I just celebrated with my husband.
  • The big seven. :)
  • We had planned to send the girls to Grandma and Grandpa's for Friday night so that we could grab dinner and a movie without the guilt of making my parents' stay awake wait up for us.
  • However, BBoo started feeling lousy on Thursday. By Friday afternoon she had a fairly high fever and was shunned from the grandparents.
  • Not really "shunned" but my Dad has some nose bleed issues and it really is imperative that he doesn't catch a cold. It is just bad. So, the snotty child was uninvited.
  • That meant our anniversary dinner for two was now an anniversary dinner for three. :)
  • And thanks to my sister, we were still able to go see our movie since we had already Fandangoed the tickets. And at the price of tickets now-a-days, I was glad to not have to try and unload them or lose them. Thanks, K!
  • The rest of the weekend was rather low-key since all activities involved said two-year-old but we did go out to Cracker Barrel for an early lunch and ran several errands before the N's came home.
  • Then I stayed home from church with BBoo since her nose and cough were still not nursery worthy.
  • Then we jumped into homeschooling. :)
  • We have been reading in Proverbs, reading about Christopher Columbus, colonial times and making an All About Me lapbook.
  • We also finished our lunch read-aloud of On the Banks of Plum Creek and jumped straight into By the Shores of Silver Lake today. I forgot that Silver Lake starts off with a bang - in the first two chapters, Mary is blind and then Jack the bulldog dies.
  • It's been a while since I read this book in the series, so I'm looking forward to refreshing my memory.

Happy Wednesday. :)

    Looks like you've had a good week so far. How is it working with N2--is she going along with N1 or are you doing different things with her?

One of my goals this year has been to diversify my reading. As I've spent the last 17 years homeschooling anywhere from 1-4 kids, I woul...
