Convention
Oooooo...did I have fun at convention! 
We just had our state-wide convention in Indy on Friday and Saturday. I'm so excited about the curriculum I bought. My dh finally attended with me. At least, he was there for the second half of Saturday. But he had a great time too. I (we) spent the entire time shopping. I had to order the convention talks on MP3 so I can listen to them later.
Here's what I got:
LA: Tan LLATL for my 12yo and some copybooks from Queen Homeschool. For 10yo I got Sandi Queen's Language Lessons for the Elem. Child and some copybooks. For 8yo I also got Sandi Queen's Language Lessons for Young Ones and copybooks.
Science: My dh found this one! Real Science 4 Kids - Chemistry. They have one for k-3 and one for 4-6th. I got both and we're going to do Chem this semester. Woo-hoo! I'm really excited because I just love this program! It's so colorful and looks really easy to do with the kids. Not overwhelming. Plus, we can kind of do it altogether.
Misc: I bought some music theory workbooks for the girls (they are in piano). I got a Great Composers workbooks w/CD, a Hayden study, Leonardo da Vinci for Kids and Monet for Kids. I'm really excited about adding more liberal arts. It seems like we never really have time for that. I also picked up quite a few Dover coloring books. Love those!
It's a good thing convention only comes once a year. Don't think I could afford anymore!

Fun

Did you get to any of the sessions? I've only been to one session ever, but many times to the "store". I didn't go this year because we are moving soon (just 5 minutes away) and I didn't want to have to pack anything else!
Glad you had a good time ... It's always very inspiring!

No, I didn't get to any of the talks, but I purchased the entire MP3 set. I should receive it by Wednesday. I'm really excited! I can never pull myself out of the exhibit hall long enough to sit still for a talk! This way I can download them on my iPod and listen while I clean. :)
I understand about the packing thing. The less the better. Good luck with the move!

MP3s

MP3 set? Wow! That is awesome. I wish we could download them from their website too. Maybe we can. I have not checked that out. Let me know if you listen to one that is outstanding. My boys keep asking if today is WB day. They've missed it. I have enjoyed 2 quieter Tuesdays. My old body is tired after working in the preschool each week.
Hope you are well.
