Learning to be meek and mild, oh and diligent

YEAH! It worked!

 

 

Thank you, Michelle...it was the Source button that I wasn't using. You are worthy of the Nice Award.

Ok, yesterday, we had a day of craft fun. We read aloud from our "spines", as they are called in TOG (Tapestry of Grace). We accomplished everything on my previous list, except Science and baking a loaf of bread. I became too lazy and decided I didn't want to clean the kitchen again. We had a great day. Next week starts our activities for the year. They start homeschool gym, swim lessons, and Spanish class at the YMCA. Basically, we are going to spend all of Monday at the Y. I teach two classes in the morning (the girls do their seatwork during that time) and then we eat lunch there. They then have gym and swim lessons. We will have two hours of free time and eating dinner. Spanish is at 5 and 6 (two different times for the different ages). My friend is teaching the class and the girls are jazzed about it.

I chose to squish it all in one day so that we can be done and have few other obligations for the week. I may change my mind later, come November, December, when it cold, bleak, and dreary. I think it will work for us. I also thought that kids do this everyday, if their parents work late and they go to after-school programs, so I know it won't kill us.

We were suppose to start our co-op this next Friday (it is every other week, including History, LIterature and Science), but the Daddy decided we were camping one last time. He borrowed a pop-up camper. We want to buy one, so we are trying it out. He has a triathlon race on Saturday and we are camping nearby. The girls are going to miss the co-op and we are a little bummed. They are doing some incredibly fun things, but family time is more important.

Tonight, I have to sit down and write out some goals for this next week. Dh and I are leaving tomorrow a.m. at 6 to go to Madison and watch our friend race in the Ironman. We get to spend the night in a hotel afterwards and then dh is going to sign up for the Ironman for next year.....Aaaahhhh! I am excited for him. It will be a great experience for him.  That is 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, topped off with a 26 miles run. Sounds like fun, huh?
