I pulled up the blog and looked at the date of my last entry...July 28, exactly 2 months ago. Bad. You would think that not being employed would mean that I am less busy....at this point, I'm not sure how I had time to work! Of course our lives have taken a new turn with home education, but I find myself wanting to have down time and it just seems like I'm not doing all I need to do! Of course we had a great summer going on vacation with the Downs Family at the beginning of August, then multiple trips to our local theme park, Carowinds with friends. I even scored $5 tickets to Great Wolf Lodge (a fundraiser for Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Charlotte) and the boys and I have gone twice this month.
For school, we are studying the Civil War, Astronomy (Apologia), States and Capitals, Math-U-See, and doing some vocabulary with crossword puzzles. We are doing Analogies for critical thinking, and will soon add some grammar work in (may recruit Daddy for that one!). We are all participating in Wednesday night church, the boys in AWANA (Stephen is a Cubbie, Silas is in T & T), me in with the 5th graders, and Scott with middle school youth (as if he doesn't get enough of that age all day at school!). Thursdays we go to Co-op from 8:30-1:30. We're busy, but enjoying spending more time together without the interference of a retail schedule!!
More to come later...I have to get ready for church tonight, an appointment this afternoon, Co-op tomorrow, and a consignment sale this weekend.....
