My 2 Kids For Him

• Jun. 19, 2008 -

Wow, once again, it's been a while since I made an entry. A lot has happened the last several weeks. I don't think I've posted since the homeschool covention.....I've finally decided (and purchased ) on the upcoming school years curriculum. I'll share what I'm planning to use and if you'd like to make any comments please do . I'd love to hear your experience with any of these.   Dd will be in 9th  and ds in 7th. Together:  we will do our morning devotions straight from the KJV:)  we'll  be doing a refresher on NC in a Nutshell  Trail Guide to US Geography Dd: Analytical grammar....doing this over 2 yrs. Apologia's Jump In for writing continuing with Spelling Power Vocabulary Cartoons SAT Word Power Teaching Textbooks Alg 1 Notgrass American History...we will do the history, bible, and Literature reading but will skip the writing assignments. I also purchased dd 2 devotional books to add a little more for counting the bible credit. A Beka Physical Science. Rosetta Stone Spanish. Piano lessons She takes 2 to 3 co-op classes one day a week (choir, drama) 2 to 3 dance classes This may sound like a lot for her, but keep in mind she will not do every subject every day. Ds: Growing With Grammar level 6 He'll continue practicing Cursive w/ HWT Sequential Spelling Teaching Textbooks Drive Through History (American) and A Beka History Apologia Science Reading library books. I may slowly add in Jump In, taking it slow. He takes art with co-op 1 day a week. So, I'm excited.... a little nervous about high school, but excited:) I also plan to purchase  Homeschool Tracker to help with organization, grades, etc. Now on to other news......dd's drama performance was last week. It went great. They all did such a good job. It was based on the book Little Princess. Here a couple of pics.... For those of you who've read the book......dd is on the left in the top picture....she was Ermengarde, her friend played Sarah on the right. The below pic is the scene of Sarah's birthday. Other news.....because of the rising gas prices, dh and I have been discussing for quite some time now getting another vehicle. Las week we traded for a Chevrolet HHR.  It's not a car I would've ever imagined myself in, but I have to say, I absolutely love it. It says 30 mpg, but I've read several reviews online where people are saying they're getting better than that....so we'll see. It's light grey....I couldn't find a picture online:)   We sold our camper this week. I had a hard time agreeing with this decision because I love camping so. But dh wasn't loving the pop-up life of camping. We had not used it since 06'. We used to have a huge travel trailer with a double slide out and we sold it because we couldn't justify making a monthly payment on something we didn't get to use but a couple of times a year. So we bought the pop-up....no monthly payment...but dh wasn't loving no bathroom....and to be honest I don't know if I could ever get used to being able to hear all the noises outside. Last time we went to the beach in it, a squirrel kept getting on the canvas, right over my bed.:) Well, I need to get off this computer now.  I'll try not to wait so long before another entry. Ds will be celebrating his 12th birthday this weekend and dh will be celebrating his BIG 4 0 next weekend, so maybe I'll have something to share.
