Back in the saddle again!

Posted in Homeschool Hijinks

Well, our new little Muffin is 4wks old tomorrow and we're back at the books!

I've got Bug (14.5yob) doing Above & Beyond FIAR, his high school DVD math course, Spelling Made Simple and a high school forensics unit.  He's still bored. *sigh*

Butterfly (12.5yog), Bunny (10.5yog) & Bee (9yog) are doing Homer Price from Beyond FIAR.  We're almost done and will start Neil Armstrong in the next week or two.  They are also all working on various math books, and Butterfly & Bee are working on the Barton Reading System.  Bunny is doing Spelling Made Simple.  I admit we get BY done more than the basics though. *blushing*  I'm looking for a grammar program for Bunny.  Any suggestions on something self-directed?

Bear (6yob) sits in on most of the BY lessons, and is really "getting" a lot!!  We are doing FIAR - Another Celebrated Dancing Bear this week - and lapbooks.  Also working in some Family Math games.

Kitty (3.75yog) is working on various lapbooks, and some Before FIAR units.

Lambchop & Puppy (2yob) are wreaking havoc! LOL  But will sometimes sit for a B4 book.

And our newest addition - hereby known as PoohBear - is a PEACH!!!  Very good baby - but HUGE!!  He looks a few months old already. *giggle*

I'm going to try to blog more often.  I really miss it. 

Off to start the day!

Sounds like you all are really back in the saddle. Sorry your oldest is bored. I wonder if some of it is the age. My son was hard to keep satisfied at that age too.
Blessings,
Dawn
