Last year I felt like God was moving me to change directions in our scope and sequence.  Thought I had it all planned out--history continuing from year to year where we left off, science in whatever the younger ones were interested in doing--but God had a different plan.  I'm not sure I heart Him right though.  I felt like we were to head in the direction of a large-scale geography unit.  So this year we are using A Child's Geography, which will mostly cover our science, and we are supplementing with Galloping the Globe and LOTS of other things.  I have also subscribed to Enchanted Learning, which I love love love!!! 

So I'm taking on the world.  I already feel overwhelmed.  What was I thinking?  Typical of me I am turning something simple into a massive project. We'll be burned out by November (and the second continent!).  Guess I need to slow down and ask God what His purpose is in all this.  It will be good this week that the boys are gone and I can spend some time alone seeking direction before we start this week.
