Ramblings
We have had another busy week! The boys have been in art camp in the afternoons and attending VBS with friends in the evenings. The house is a wreck with all of the home improvements we have started and yet to complete. The rain is really hindering the retaining wall in the back yard but it is 3/4ths of the way finished and will look great when it is completed! We have one side of the kitchen cabinets refinished and hope to have the other side done this weekend!
Some of you know that I have been watching a baby this summer, Conlan, and this may be his last week with us. Since the boys and I are going out of town for a week, he will be staying with a new babysitter then. If all works out with her, then he will stay there. We have had a lot of fun with him. He has been with us for almost 4 months and has really grown. The boys love him and it has been fun to watch them with a baby. The both have said now that they want us to adopt a little boy. Steve and I have always talked about it and maybe this experience has been a good segway into that. We will leave that up to God though.
I have spent a good part of this week looking over our new school stuff. I am really getting excited about this year. I really feel like our curriculum is a good fit for the first time. Our homeschool co-op is offering classes in ELO(extended learning opportunities)that go along perfectly with what Ethan is doing this year. History and Science are actually the same. I really feel like God has lead me to this curriculum and feel at peace about homeschooling for the first time ever. That does not mean I am dilusional about this year, just more prepared!
I know I said this was a blog for Ethan but he has been so busy with summer activities, he has not had time to post. I am going to make this part of schooling each week. I want him to journal his weekly activities and post them so everyone will stay updated!
I guess that is enough rambling this morning! I have laundry calling me!
