Wow I can't believe I haven't been blogging. I have been sorta keeping up todate with Facebook. We are taking a two week break getting ready for Christmas and New Years. Had lots of fun. Got quite a bit of sewing, baking and knitting done, an other pottery class and DD1 got a cast. I will try to post pictures if you all don't mind my sharing. I have been very excited how things have been going with schooling this year. I have switched to Landmark Baptist for our Science and History which has worked well for us. Math U See for math, Rod and staff for Preschoolers, Pathway readers for the other grades. Love To Learn was having a clearance so I bought all I needed for all my kids from Kindergarden all the way up as far as it would go.  Unless God blesses us with more children, we should be set for our reading. I have been using Easy Grammar and just reading whatever has been interesting to the kids. We have just about finished up the Left Behind Series which sparked my teens to start reading this year in  full force to a point where we have to tell them to stop reading and do their chores. LOL I never thought I would have to tell them that, but it has been a great motivator to get chores done so then they can read to their hearts content.

I had bought a program at the begining of the summer which I had hoped it would help me keep better records and all but I found it frustrating. I had called for tech support to walk me through but they don't offer it. AAAGGGG One of these days I hope to figure it out.  If any of you are using Edu Track Home school and are willing to help me understand it I would really appriceate your help.

Hubbies car blew an engine a few weeks back so we are down to one car and learning how to "share" ha ha. So far it is working well, I do get some earlier mornings though when I take him to the train or late nights when he gets stuck at work.  Well I need to go try to up load some pictures to Flickr so I can post them here. I hope you all have a wonderful New Years.
