Finally an excuse!!!!

Homeschooling has finally given me the excuse that I guess I needed. I have had so many wonderful books and projects that I've had tucked all over the house that I've always wanted to share with my kids. When they were in public school, there simply was never any time to pursue these extra projects. Now that we have one full year of homeschooling under our belt, I've devised our schedule so that we can incorporate as much of the fun stuff as possible.

For instance, right now we are in the process of building a paperboard Totem Pole that came in a book from Dover Publications. I've had this project since before I even had kids! Since we are studying Early American History right now, primarily Native Americans of long ago, this was a perfect opportunity to work it in. I'm glad we are doing it, but it is really a lot more work than I anticipated. Things haven't gone exactly as I'd envisioned it, but it still looks great. We should hopefully be done with it by the end of this week and I'll try to remember to post a pic of it on here.
