Hello,

I thought I would drop in to share some of our homeschool happenings, preparations for homeschool and educational things we have been up to.

First I want to share that the kids just finished up their Second VBS with the Boomerang Theme.

They have another VBS starting tomorrow July 27th. It's a morning one though and we have never done a morning one before so this will be new to us.

I am hoping if the kids do enjoy it that it will help us adjust our summer schedule to a school schedule for school starts for us Aug.31st.

The Vacation Bible Schools they have attended have been helpful for me in searching for possible churches to visit and for getting things done for my kids occasionally drive me crazy but, I have been able to get to accomplish writing for writing school, homeschool papers to turn in, cleaning, and errands.

The kids will have one last VBS at their Awana Church Aug.3rd-7th.

August 7th is Our Daughter's Birthday so I am also hoping to pick up a few things while they are at VBS for her Birthday. ( Just her Brothers, her dad and me will be celebrating her Birthday with her.)

August 8th Their Summer Reading Program ends but, they should have their last slip turned in way before that.

We have our Home Depot Workshop-Saturday Aug.1st. 

I have been writing the Kids Art Curriculum this year.

First I want to say I was inspired to do this By:

It's a Boys Life

KinderArt

Deep Space Sparkle-Out Of This World Art Lessons

Teach Kids Art

 From the researching and learning I have accomplished on Art,I really love art now take a glimpse at another side of me.

We will begin our Art lessons the week of Aug.31st and I hope to share lesson results of what the kids learn with you perhaps give you ideas or inspire you. 

Our Mini Yard Sale we hope to have very soon to put that money into school funds however I had some money for school and we are waiting to see our painted lady caterpillars arriving soon we do them every year just doesn't seem right not doing them and the kids "Red Wigglers" Composting Worms.

I dont' know if anyone remembers that blog, we discovered these great composting worms at

The Earth Day Festival

We never received our ladybug larvae last year so I emailed and contacted the customer service and I sent a letter and information so hopefully for the 3 big bucks I sent last year they will send our larvae's.

I am also checking into Girl Scouts again this year last year something happened and our daughter wasn't contacted with information for a group so hopefully this year that will be different.

I am also checking into 4H Clubs, we have 4 numbers of 4 different clubs so hopefully one of the 4 groups we will be able to join and it's not to late.
