Exciting news to share..
We recently found out that we are having a BOY!! After all girls, it was quite a shock! We are so thankful to God for such a blessing though! Now, if we can just settle on a name for this little one...
Our garden is finally producing in bits and pieces-we got ours out later than expected. We are getting green beans, yellow squash, crookneck squash, zuchinni, cucumbers, and jalapenos. Our corn should be ready in a few weeks, as well as the tomatoes.
I am still working on our school planning. I am trying to combine some MOTH scheduling tips along with the suggested schedule for Konos in the Konos manual to simplify the year and have a plan in place for each day. I am going to purchase some portable timers for the girls to help us keep track of time for each lesson. Brooke is pretty much self directed-all I have to do is provide her with ample direction for her morning lessons. Crystal and Megan will move from one thing to the other at the same time. Samantha and Rachael will move from one activity to the next together as well. I am finding it more and more necessary to plan and schedule things as our "little" family continues to grow. I have become far to lax this summer though and am afraid I will pay for it later on when we begin our school year. I have planned to start school on September 2nd and do five day weeks this year.
Well, I need to get back to my "To Do List." Until next time..thanks for stopping by!
