100 EZ Lessons, Vacations and More!
Hi! My dh has been on vacation so I have not been online hardly at all! He is off until after Christmas.
Things are going very well. Can I ask a prayer request?! If anyone feels lead to pray for a position change for Justin that would be amazing! The way it works where he is that if the new position comes up then they post a sheet for it. If noone with higher seniority signs the page then he gets it. In a week or two there is one coming posted that will mean good things for us. Justin is a Tractor Trailer Driver. We want him to get the over the road position instead of the local driving. What is great about where he works is that it is still home every day. Over the road does not mean gone away for more than a normal day.
Of course this is a more $ job but that is not all reasons for wanting the position. He has passed up signing before because we did not feel it was best for us. Right now we are praying hard because we do.

Ok now to blog about Homeschooling!
Things are going GREAT! We are on the flip side of our prek experiance. We have completed 97 days already, today will make 98. She is doing so well!
I started the book "Teach Your Child to Read in 100 EZ Lessons" . It was not very recommended in my group of online homeschool friends. But I had asked AFTER I bought it and for $16 it is not really breaking my bank should I hate it.
I am keeping a journal in my homeschool tracker on how we are doing with it. So far we have done 3 lessons and my experiance is positive. I do see all their feedback as being something I would think too. I am trying to just keep an open mind, remember that is DOES work for some people so perhaps Alyssa is the type of learner it will work for.
Have any of you worked with it and loved it for your kids? I would LOVE to hear about it.

Sonlight is going well! I love that stuff and of course having the new job would mean I can get it again next year :::::PRAYING HARD::::::
I have to say though. The things I am using that I absolutely will not pass up for Tristan is my ABC Readiness Series I got from Christians Light Education. They are workbooks from Rod and Staff. I think they are very good! We have finished A, C and D already. We are saving B for the summer as it is Bible and we already have Bible in our Sonlight. I was thinking to myself last night when she was working on her Singapore Math, man she needs some review on her numbers. We have not seen them in a while and she is forgetting which way they go. All formed kinda right just not the right way. Well lo and behold, I picked up our lessons for today starting book E. They review ALL the numbers again! I was just tickled pink about it. Ok that is silly but seriously. I love these books.

Well it is 4 more sleeps till Christmas! Have any of you watched Muppets Christmas? We got the CD sound track to it when my brother went to the Army. We played "Afterall theres only one more sleep till christmas" over and over before he got to come home on leave when in basic training. It has a special place in my heart.
Better go now. Glad to talk to you all again. Hopefully I will be on more after the holidays!

Today was our last official day until after Christmas break. We are taking 2 weeks off, unless I get antsy to start before that. And we do have a field trip scheduled for next week.
Praying about Justin's job.
Have a very Merry Christmas. Heheh, tomorrow is Christmas Eve Eve.
