A New Chapter

Hello! How's it going? Since it is 2313 or 11:13pm for you non milatary types.... seems like the perfect time to get back into blogging. And I better... because I have gone from 7 to 10 followers! Rock on! Welcome Brenda! So fun. Anyway. I need to make a whole section dedicated to homeschooling.... because.... we're in. I am now wearing skirts, baking bread, and schooling my children at home. Because they all go together right?? Not. Hehe. I am probably the only nerd left who says not after something. Not. Now I am laughing out loud at my hilarity. And I misspelled that word. WTG homeschool teacher! Indeed.... we started homeschooling. Which means I have done exactly one page of Clay's curriculum, and one book of Crew's curriculum. And it went well.  Here are the links to what we are doing... if I indeed can figure out how to link.   Kind of stressed about how to get everything done... but that is sort of normal for me anyway.  So I am going to link to what we are doing so my mama can check it out!

It is pretty cute.  I think it will be good... I am a little nervous about not using textbooks... but I don't really want to do "school" at home... I want to take advantage of doing whatever looks fun and educational!

Crew-http://www.fiarhq.com/-   How I love this program so far.  We are reading a book a week (or we will be when school starts) and then you do an activity associated with the book.  So far, we have read one book and all the kids enjoyed it and have asked to do it again!

Reading and Spelling and Phonics -http://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/all-about-spelling
        This program got high reviews... so I am anxious to test it out!  We'll see.  It looks fun, but I am intimidated by teaching it!  Probably just need to dive in.

Latin- http://www.memoriapress.com/descriptions/prima.htm- Yep!  Latin.  I feel Auntie Lindsey will be proud. 

And our new chore program.http://www.accountablekids.com/- So when you come to visit, I will have perfectly behaved, homeschooled children.  Oh yes.  One can dream right?  I felt as long as I am implementing routine and such... might as well go after chores as well! 

And that's it. Looks like fun to me!

See, I already let the babies play with beans for fun... so homeschooling should be a simple transition right?

Our first homeschool feild trip!  Don't they look so sweet?  I def imagine of lot of handholding and skipping in this adventure.

And lastly, an obnoxious bow picture.  Just because I waited 8 years for one of these!
