Weekly Wrap-Up Week #28

Another crazy week!  We were off on Monday. 

Wednesday we had a field trip.  One of the fathers in our homeschool group participates in local Pow Wows so he came and showed us his collection of regalia and did a small performance for us.  It was really interesting!

Thursday, at the last minute I decided we should visit our local Classical Conversations Open House.  I had heard of them when I first started homeschooling but at the time I was too overwhelmed to persue any further.  Well, WOW is all I can say!  My kids fit in like they had been there the whole year.  So, we are prayerfully considering joining the group next year.  

Friday we finished up some of our lessons and then prepared for a family camp out with our Cub Scout group.  Oh my, was it ever COLD!!  And my reward is now I have a cold!

That's a wrap on our week.  For more weekly wrap-ups check out Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolers.

Weekly Wrap-Up - Week #27

This week has flown by and looking back I wasn't sure we got anything done.  We had 2 days off this week and in between we tried to get focused but just couldn't get our groove on.  Oh well, maybe next week!

The real after of our living room finally!

Stephen had a great time at his Blue Gold Cub Scout Banquet.  He has worked very hard and earned his Astronomy, Basketball, and Soccer belt loops, two beads, and his gold arrow.

We also got to enjoy the great outdoors today.  That was fun!

Jonathan is headed with the youth at church to Aquire The Fire so he wasn't with us.

That's a wrap on our week.  For more weekly wrap-ups check out Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolers.
