School has started!...sort of.

So this was our 2nd day of schooling. It's hard when we don't have all of our books and materials. We have been doing what we can from the online pages anyway. T has been complaining a little already. I wonder what will happen when we actually do a full day's work.

A has been loving the time working with mommy. She has been fun to work with. I have been a bit impressed with what she already knows and well bummed by what I thought she knew only to find we need to review more.

We have a schedule set but haven't been following all of it. T has Language Arts first. Then it's A's Language time. Then T does Spanish. A does counting and numbers. T does math. Then lunch and a break. Finally T does either Science/music day or History/Art day. Depending on what we do A may join in. A also gets one more time where we work on other basics: colors, shapes, directions, science things, etc.

We don't have all of T's books yet. I guess it's truly first come first serve when ordering materials. We are missing all our workbooks but a lot of the worksheets can be printed off the website. It's just a pain for me to have to do this every night. I miss just tearing out what we need to do. I have been told we should have it all within the next 7-10 days.

I feel like things are going well...even if I'm still catching up on the laundry that piled up over our weekend camping. That was a fun mini vacation before school started. We went with some cousins of mine so the girls actually had girls their ages to play with. Some time I might get the pictures uploaded.

Off to prep for tomorrow and go to bed. I'm still catching up on sleep too...I never realized the ground could be so hard and blankets so lumpy.
