Ready or Not

Well, that time of year has started once again, school time. David left it up to me what we would do as far as school. Both options had so many good and bad points that I couldn't decide, so I told him to decide and I would do whatever. He chose Homeschool. So, we are going to attempt another year. I decided to try someones suggestion of starting early, then doing four day weeks. So I am going to try that. If the rest of the 174 days go as good as the first six, maybe it won't be too bad!!??
Two weeks ago I suddenly came down with strep throat. I hoped that no one else would get it, but Amber started last night. I guess it is slow in getting around to each culprit. Hopefully it will stop there!!

Checking out their new school books, they each have quite a stack!

Jenny's favorite class, phonics and reading, she thought her reading books are too easy!

One fun thing with Homeschooling is, you can do it wherever you want!

Rissa is doing some skills and pre-school work

Summer programs at the library were a highlight for the kiddos. This one is always their favorite.

They thought the baby alligator was neat

For kiddos last week before we started school, I planned several different fun surprise activities for them.
One was having their best friends over for the day. They were busy all day, one thing they enjoyed doing was going to the neighbors and feeding his horses carrots. I think they about fed a bag full. We all went out to McDonalds for supper too.

One evening we went to a new park in town.

Another surprise for them was taking them to a jumping center in Augusta. Trey was not sure about it, but the rest had a blast!

Treyton's new set of wheels

This cute pair of frogs are regular visitors at our porch-light in the evening.

Trey wanted to ''help Daddy'' put together a new book-shelf for our school books

The other week our church had a "Missionary Awareness'' meal where you honored a missionary with food from that country. We did David's brother and his family and also his sister who are in Honduras. David wanted to do the cake himself, he was quite proud of how it turned out! (~:
