Well this is our last weekend of "freedom" Just kidding. We are starting back to school on Monday. I will have 5 that I am homeschooling this year. Our oldest is starting 7th grade. The youngest is K-4. I have found that my 9 yr old daughter has already taught Hannah (4 yr old) almost all of her letters and numbers. They played school quite often this summer. It will make my job much easier this year. We have just gotten home from a week in Gatinburg. It was a wonderful vacation. The kids had so much fun. The best part was we had my husband all to ourselves without any interruptions. All of the kids at some point commented that this was our best vacation ever. We really didn't do anything or go any where. They wanted to stay at the resort and play with their dad. Our summer has been so busy and hectic I am really looking forward to getting back on schedule. We are using a different curriculum this year than we have used in the past. (Switched on Schoolhouse.) We always used Bob Jones before. I needed something that was going to be easier for me. SOS does all of the grading and record keeping for me. I have the freedom of my schedule. I'm not locked into their calendar. I submit my schedule to them and if I need to revise it I can at any time. I do hope it is as good as it sounds. We are trying out this year. Say a prayer for us as we get started. I am excited about what God has for our family this year. I anticipate wonderful blessings! Thanks for letting me ramble!
