Chantelle's grandmother still thinks that because we homeschool she can have her whenever she wants and that we also follow the same breaks as the school. I had planned on not taking February's public school vacation off, but because I did not feel like listening to Chantelle's grandmother whine like a toddler about how she never sees her (she blew Chantelle off a few weeks ago) and how mean I am about changing plans constantly, I let her go. My husband told her that Chantelle will not be taking April vacation off. We already made plans to go on a bunch of field trips the week before the vacation.

So now this week I am fixing up the lesson plans and finishing up the weeks I have yet to get to. I may make plans, but if something does come up, we can skip a day or so. I am working on getting Matt ready to start Saxon Math 1. The Singapore math was just way to easy for his level and the Saxon Math 1 is more like a kindergarten book at the begining, so I know he will do good in it.

Matt and I went to go see the Curious George movie on Saturday. It was really cute. I haven't been to a movie in years, so this was a treat. One thing that bothered me, besides the price of the tickets OMG, was what is up with the COMMERTIALS instead of previews? We saw 3 short previews and then 20 minutes of commertials that we see on tv. The only one I enjoyed was a NASCAR one. We are huge fans of NASCAR so this was cool. (Woot to Jimmie Johnson for winning the Daytona 500). I use to enjoy watching the previews before the movie started. Even the little kids next to me were complaining about how many stupid commertials ther were. I mean do we really need to see 3 Cingular wireless commertials and a Verizon wireless commertial? Note to mention a plethera of other stupid ones. Give me a break!
