Summer!
Hey everybody! WOW, a Summer already! Can you hear the homeschooled children's laughter already.My kids love the springtime and summer! They have some of the best field trips during that time.They look like bears coming out of hibernation and the fresh sun hitting their faces.They love it.They are here in the city for the summer and been here for 2 weeks now doing all kinds of things.For a wonderful example,one of their daddy's favorite sports as a kid and teen,"handball"! They have begun learning how to play.And are having a ball.It is so muggy down here in comparison to the hot PA air,but we are dealing with it. I can't wait for those thunderstorms on the weekend.We will be babysitting my brothers daughter this weekend while he goes out with his wife.So can you say baby fun! I can't wait.I love lil ones they are great.Anyway moving on to other news.We have decided to plan ahead this year with our summer fun at home.So we will be getting a small dipping pool for the kids to play with on the weekends when dad is home,tons of bbq's and invested in art/crafts items and outside toys,like catch and new jump ropes and these lacrose looking sets for the kids to use.Brand new bikes are also in store for these lucky kids of mine.Their old bikes are outgrown now so we need new ones.So off to the pricing board me and my hubby go.We also decided to give the kids 3 weeks vacation and then we are going to start up our new homeschool year.We will start in PA then make the move down here.We are also trying to make a least 2 trips,one to the crayola factory and another to a theme park this year as well.So we will see.So many things so lil time,huh? Anyway I have already begun looking for our curriculum and since we are not textbook feans and prefer handson activities we are going to look into something with freedon to do that.We really love Abeka Books so we will be using them,but we are still looking for something for Math that would fit us so any suggestions are welcome.Thats all for this blessed mama of 4.Shalom and blessings to all.

We love My Fathers World, its hands on and they use living books! You could delete things too that didn't go along with your beliefs or add to it. I think it would be easy to do that with this, we LOVE IT!
I'm giving away the new planner from the OLD Schoolhouse, if you get a chance come check it out!
