Wrap-Up time

Ok, another month has passed by and no blogging, except for my review items. I know I am neglecting this blog, but again, family and church life are taking over.

What's been happening:
  • Vacation Bible School was last week,and praise God for a smooth and enjoyable week, especially for all the volunteers who gave themselves to serving the kids, under my leardership: Thanks everyone!
  • Lots of family playtime, especially with our new found loved game: Settlers of Catan.
  • Church Sunday School picnic: lots of fun!
  • School has still been going on, as you can see from the reviews: Math, handwriting and some language Arts.
  • Music lessons still ongoing.
  • Drive in movies: The Avengers was a huge hit with kids. With The Amazing Spiderman, Joho who so wanted to see it got scared, Zach, who said he would be scared enjoyed the part he stayed awake long enough for.
  • Playdates
  • Spashpad time
My favorite
What I love!

With a new year upon us I will try to get back on the blogging scene and what best topic to start the year with than giving you a glimpse into what homeschooling looks like in our home with now two teenagers. In the past 4 years I have enjoyed participating in the Virtual Curriculum Fair hosted by Homechooling Hearts and Minds , so I am happy to start my year participating once more.
