School is OUT!

Yeah...  public school is over now.  We start back to homeschooling the whole group on Monday.  I am excited and nervous.  I feel very inadequate and I keep asking myself...  if it was overwhelming before, what makes you think you will do better now? 

 

We are done with dance recital and pictures, end-of-year field trips (Ian had 3 field trips in 3 consecutive school days and we had a total of 5 field trips in 1 month!)

 

We are done with Kindergarten Graduation (we baked 25 doz. choc. chip cookies and 10 doz. rice krispy treats!)

 

We are now gearing up for Kaitlyn's 14th birthday next week.  I think she is going to end up having 4 friends (maybe 5) attending.  They will do a little craft, have desert and maybe paint their nails.  Nothing big.  VERY simple this year.

 

Jordan will be 12 in August...  Twelve days later Noah will turn 8 and five days after that Hannah will be turning 6.  So we will have 3 more b-days before Summer's full end! 

 

(Ian is the only non-Summer bday!...  he was our Christmas gift!) 

 

We also are going camping for 1 week in August and my dad was talking about visiting in July! 

 

I think we will pass on VBS this year and maybe we will or maybe we won't do swimming during the summer.  We will see. 

 

We are looking into some kind of sports for Ian in the fall..  karate or soccer or something.

 

I need to post a bunch of pictures. 

 

Does anyone know how to post video from a camera?  (My digital camera can do short videos, but I don't know how to save them.)

 

Well, we are going to the zoo today!

 

Have a GREAT FATHER'S DAY weekend.  My hubby has to work on Father's Day...  so I will probably post tomorrow afternoon after church while is is gone.  :(

I have only ever home educated one child and there was a time I felt overwhelmed. But you know what? They were emotions based in untrue assumptions. First, I was doing too much. My husband, the principal of our school, helped me to understand that I didn't have to push so hard to get Marissa to grade level. Next, I felt totally responsible for the outcome. I had to be reminded that Marissa is God's child. He is working out her life.

You always sound so busy. I am glad you are passing on VBS.

You're about to embark on a whole lot of changes this year, huh? Reversal, full time homeschooling of all kids....anything else? (like that's not enough) Any moves in near future? Seems like tons of hsbers are moving. That might be a bit much for you this summer. :)

My name is Christina. I am 38 years old and have been happily married to my best friend, Russ for over 18 years! My username is quietcajun, but I am neither quiet, nor cajun! The nickname is based on my children's initials! The first four children are: Kaitlyn (16), Jordan (14 next month), Ian (12.5), and Noah (10 next month)... put their first intials together and you get KJIN (cajun). Sarah Hope is one of our babies in Heaven and Hannah (8 in September) is my youngest (so far). Put S and H together and you get SH as in SHHHH... QUIET. Get it? Thus, quietcajun! We are in our 12th year of homeschooling. We have tried public school, but we soon realized how important it is that they be HOME at all costs. Now we are back to having them all home again! It's not always easy, but it is for the BEST! Two of our children have Asperger's Syndrome. That is an adventure in itself. We are still learning! This blog is a place for me to sort out the daily joys and challenges of life as a mother and wife as I strive to love and know God more and bring GLORY to HIM in EVERY part of my LIFE!!!!
