I was talking with CherylinMA (Talking to Myself) and she said she was keeping track of educational things they are doing over the summer and counting that as "school."

This got me thinking about my own plans, and it is probably something that most of the rest of the homeschooling world figured out long ago.  That week of VBS and Nature Camp, those museum trips, performances, special activities--those are school days, too.

I realized that my kids have had at least 3 weeks worth of educational activities this summer so far, and we're not done yet!  I am going to plan for 33 weeks this year instead of the typical 36 weeks for which I usually plan.
