A Wee Bit Late

Well, I was not able to post last Friday, as I should have. We had a yard sale, and you know how those go. We ended up shutting down early on Saturday, because it was so darned hot! So now that our house and garage are probably about 15 boxes lighter, not counting a playpen, some infant toys, a bouncy seat, and a rocker with matching ottoman, we can finally concentrate on our school room. We actually have decided to ditch the basement idea. It's kind of dark down there, and I discovered while planning the decorations that we don't really have any available wall space. What fun would that be for a kindergartener?

So our new plan is the playroom. I am pretty confident that I have come up with some ideas to make it work as both a playroom and a school room. I did quite a bit of work in there today, rearranging things and trying to decide where to hang things. The actual hanging will come on August 26th, so my student(s) will be surprised on the first day of school. I purchased some cute things at Dollar Tree, though. I'm very excited! The goal now is to get a few items removed from in there (computer and desk) and train the girls to keep it neat. I will definitely have some pictures to post after the first day of school.

Apparently the Blogosphere has a little game of "It" people like to play. I just learned of it today (when I got "tagged"), and it seems pretty funny. I had to post the rules of the game on my blog today, so come visit and see if you'd like to join in.

I'm impressed with the work you're putting into your school room. I'm way too lazy for that, so the kids are stuck in the kitchen!

Hi, Monica! Can you post a couple of pictures (maybe a before-and-after set) of Kasia and Holly's playroom-to-study room conversion? Your readers sure could use the inspiration. ;)

HI Monica,

I am starting to plan Faisal's first grade walls. We don't have an actual room especially for homeschooling though. We have only the dining room/living room area to make up. So far so good though. I hope that you will share some pics when you are done. I plan to share some more of our K wall pics when we finish at the end of the month. We are making posters for all the word families and I am doing math fact trains for the walls.

I can feel your excitement! We are very excited as well about starting a new grade soon!

Sarah :)
