It's tax time.  That means one thing.  I'm pondering next years curriculum.  :-)  I'm pretty certain we're going to stick with Sonlight for history.  We'll do Core 7.  We're only on week 14 of Core 6.  Whew....it's a TON of reading for ME!  So, I don't think I"ll order it right away.  I'll just stick the money away so it's there when I need it.  Sonlight is $$$!  For English, we'll stick with Bob Jones.  We're really liking that this year.  I guess I should say "I" am really liking that.  My kids don't appreciate grammar/writing yet.  Sticking with the same for Science, Apologia and possible My World Science again.  The only thing I'm really up in the air about is Math.  Currently, we're doing Bob Jones.  This is our third year using it.  It's working great for Devin.  I rarely have to teach him a lesson anymore.  He's getting pretty good about just opening his book, reading the instruction page and doing his work.  Mikayla is doing well with her BJ math too.  Katie???  She has decided that she hates math.  She's never had any problems with math before.  So, I'm not sure why she is this year.  Perhaps 5th grade math is more difficult?  So, I'm considering looking at Saxon for her.  The only issue is, I already have BJ math stuff for 6th grade.  I like not having to buy new stuff every year.  I like leftovers.  :-)  But, if it's not working for her, I really can't do it.  I would like to go the homeschool convention in Atlanta in May.  BUT, Mike will be deployed.  So, I'll have to find somewhere to leave atleast a couple of kids.  Easier said than done.  So, we will see what I end up with. 

Knitting news.....I've been scrapbooking.  That means I'm doing very little knitting.  I've scrapped 4 pages.  Two are for Mike's Iraq album.  He'll be pleased to see them when he gets home.  He's been bugging me since he got home to work on it.  :-)  I have a few swaps and a couple of other lay-outs planned too.  I did work on a hat for Mikayla a little bit last night.  I think I knit less when Mike is gone.  I can't knit in the truck when I have to drive.  :-)  I need to kitchener off the American Girl sock I'm working on too.  Then, I can start the second sock.  They're tiny, so they are quick.  A kid is calling me for something......until next time.  Oh, am I the only one who can't get into homeschoolblogger atleast once a day?  It is seriously bugging me.
