Yup I'm doing what I always do.....switiching curriculum!lol I am just not finding History Odyssey to be fullfilling for our family.SO the beginning of Ocrober we will be switching over to Homeschool in the Woods Time Traveler Series!They are unti studies that last about 5-10 weeks.So I figure we can get through the Early Explorers which deals with pirates and sea explorers before Christmas.It just seems more hands on and I'm very excited about that PLUS it has Science with it!!!

We dropped the kids off with the exes on Friday night and spent the night with Jerry's mom down in their Phoenix home.Well I brought my lesson plans with me because I knew Jerry would be sleeping in the next morning so I was able to get quite a few things done!!!And I was able to show my mil what we've been doing in school and showing her how far Andrew has come with his reading and wrting.I hate trying to prove myself but she seemed happy.She then asked if I wanted to go to the teacher store with her?Heck yes!!!!SO we went and I found a great book on reading fluency that contains two person skits this will be perfect for Kenna and Andrew t o get to read!And we found a reading Comprehension book for the older boys that is labeled what else but "Just for Boys"

Our main reason for spending the night in Pheonic was to go to Ikea to get beds for the girls.Yes since we blended families and Jerry's ex decided she wanted the bunkbeds we have been short 2 beds.SO the girls have been sleeping on an airmattress..Well we found some cute little beds plus curtains for our living room,plus a desk for our bedroom,plus oh lets se..........umm rugs,kitchen stuff,and even some xmas presents!I bought Holly an easel that has dry erase on one side and chalk on the other her birthday is in October.

While in Ikea I noticed my knee started hurting.ugh .....could this be what they call ummmmm aging?

SO now i'm being lazy in bed knowing there's a suburban full of stuff that needs unpacking and knowing that if Jerry does it it will just end up in one big pile in my living room.SO i guess I should hop in the shower and enjoy one more day of silence and get done what i can!!!
