Well, we're almost to the end of our year.  As I prepared for the coming week, I glanced at how much we have left.  It seems in most subjects we are nearly finished.  Some we have already wrapped up.  We finished our science curriculum weeks ago and have been studying snails and slugs.  We will be putting our lapbooks together this week.  Emma finished her history about a month ago.  So it seems we'll be completely done within the next couple weeks!  We will continue to study a few things here and there through the month of May, but at our leisure and as the girls decide what it is they want to learn more about.  Kayla will be finished in a couple weeks as well.  Hopefully, everything else in our lives will slow down as well.    It's quite doubtful that will happen though.
