It had to happen. We didn't take many days off at Christmas. We didn't take a spring break...all so that we could take time off when Mike got home from his fun in the sand box. He went back to work on Wednesday of last week...and we must start school again tomorrow.
As always - we're EXCITED but I'm also wishing I'd made better use of the time to get more THINGS done before school begins again....LOL I miss our days of schooling year round but now that the boys are in high school they are really driven to stay on a "traditional schedule" and the rest of us keep up with them....they compromise a lot for our fun so it's the least we can do. ::snort:: Maybe we'll just do history quilt squares tomorrow. Come to think of it that would be a GREAT way to review what we had been covering. OK - that's what we'll do for history...and I have Math u See placement tests for math. Science is always one they clamor for....
I've been praying and thinking and I think I'm seriously going to begin looking for a few families who are either doing TOG year 1 or studying ancients next year to meet a couple of times a month for "enrichment" - "fun with a purpose". LOL
OH - and it looks like I'm going to a homeschool convention this year. I'm excited. I've not been in about 6 years.

Which convention did you decide to attend? I don't think I've attended one since we attended together YEARS ago..... nope that's not true.. I attended one other and that was in WA probably 6 years ago or so. The only other one I've been to is the one I organized and you could hardly call that "attending"... didn't see or hear a single speaker (LOL).
Sis: Where will your convention be?
For me today is back to taxes. Have to call to find out how we enter the comp payments for Dad.

DeEtta,
I'm looking at TOG for next year. I'd like to hear your thoughts on what you like about it, if you have time. I'll have a 9th grader, 4th grader, 1st grader, kindergartner and a 3 yr old.
Ah - I can do a TOG review shortly. I LOVE it. LOL But then I suppose my TOG use doesn't look quite like most...but we do love it.
