Would someone PLEASE turn out the lights?

Those flashes of "lightening" are killing me! Can't ANYONE get any sleep around here?

On a mission

I watched a movie the other day and it has inspired me to read all of the Jane Austen books. I watched the Jane Austen Book Club. Now, I'm on a mission to read all of the Jane Austen books. (I thought it was great that one of the characters in the movie is also a knitter like moi. :) ) I'll be starting with Emma. I'll keep you posted on my thoughts. Reading, knitting, and spinning....I wonder if I can put off the start of our homeschool year this Fall. ;)

It is that season again....

BASEBALL!

Sweet Pea 1 is playing County Rec Ball this year. Sweet Pea 2 is playing Upward Baseball. Would you believe that they ended up with the SAME team name? LOL Just call me "Baseball Mom". I'm between 4 different fields 3-4 days per week! We love it though and I wouldn't trade this experience for the world.

Rest in Peace, Jazz (1994-2007)

We'll miss you.....

Christmas

Here are a few pictures from our Christmas day.

What my sweet Honey got me; and since I'll be making my own lattes from home now, he knew I would need this to buy the beans and also to use to go chat with my friend on Saturdays.



We had a nice, mostly-quiet day. We were blessed this year in many ways and I hope you were too.

A few changes I've made already

As satisfied as I am with my choices, I've had to change a few things to fit us better.

Christian Light Education math was NOT for us. It was too choppy and too much review for Sweet Pea 1. We've changed to Bob Jones University Math. SP1 and I are much happier and think this will be a good choice.

The science area is bombing out for us. SP is not liking the Real Science 4 Kids or the God's Design. He says "I want REAL experiments." So I ordered Exploration Education. I still plan on possibly doing the Apologia Botany this Spring along with EE. SP will get to build 8 projects over the year and all the materials are included. He's excited.

JAG is going great. DS likes it and it takes only a few minutes each day. It is easy for him right now though, but I know it will get a little harder over time.

Everything else is smooth sailing. We're happy with all the rest of our materials.

Now, if I could just SELL those other things that we don't like.
