We're planning to officially start school next Monday, August 1st....and I CAN HARDLY WAIT (just hope that excitement lasts!)  We went to the base library today and signed out lots of books that we'll be using for school next week.  Alycia is going to start off with butterflies, catepillars, days of the week (all encapsulated in Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Catepillar).  Daniel sat down yesterday and wrote out a short list of things he'd like to discover/learn about.....I'm hoping that will keep him more interested in things.  So next week he'll check out the earth's measurements and what would be required to dig all the way through to the other side (what equipment and how much time?).  I still need to order our history curriculum, but am hoping to do that in the next month or so with money I earn at the Farmer's Market.  And no, I have not forgotten little David....I'm creating an activity notebook for him too....he makes sure he's not forgotten, believe me!!  He'll be doing some of Alycia's butterfly projects too, as well as doing some file folder games that I've made up.

Well, thanks for checkin' in on me!  I'm hoping to post at least once a week and tell how our school is going (whew!  Talk about accountability!)  I hope you all enjoy journeying along with us!
