Sep. 16, 2008 - It Begins!!!

I am so excited to be a part of somethng this year-with homeschooling.  we started our new coop 2 weks ago.  the ladies there are all so wonderful..and i think each and every one of them is just as excited to be there and to be a part of it all.  It jut comes out in all the attitudes...it is amazing!  here is a picture of teh kids on the first day of coop:

yeah, don' tthey look excited?! haha. 

We took our first field trip yesterday to the Chicago Adler Planetarium.  THey had a free day.  It was so much fun!  kind of.  the kids got pretty tired.  WE took teh train and from teh station, it is VERY easy to get there.  I was surprised at how easy it wAS.  i have spent some time in chicago in teh past-and am very nervous taking kids up there.  But we did not have to cross one street-there is a pedestrian walk all the way to Museum Campus that is very nice.  They day was FANTASTIC.  so much better than we thought it would be.  The sun was shining and the breeze was cool.  The view of Chicago from the planetarium is awesome! The best view of the city-other than from a boat on the water, i say.  I think the best part of teh day was when we ate luch and i met another homeshcool mm and her 4 kids-just like mine-4 kids, 5 and under!  thatwas great!  The Field Museum is having free days at the end of the month-from sept 21-26.  There is an extreme weather exhibit there that i really want to take ally to.  She is fascinated with weather right now.  She has learned a lot about hurricanes adn tornadoes this summer.  it is perfect timing for her. 

Well, that is it for now.  thanks for reading.
