Homeschool Mother's Journal - 2

I'm joining up with Sue again this week to bring you the 2nd edition of The Homeschool Mother's Journal.  I really love this!  Click on the picture to see other journals!

In my life this week...

My son hit double digits!  That is now two children in the household with double digits.  Oh, how time flies.  We also had no sickness!!  But as I type this, my double digit boy and myself have been hit yet again - this time with just colds but they can still wear you down!

In our homeschool this week...

We were back to regular schedule!  It was so wonderful to get back to our Classical Conversations (CC) group.

Places we're going and people we're seeing...

This week is going to be crazy if our health allows!  We have our normal dance and CC activities.  We will also add in end of year testing and a field trip to the science museum on Friday.  Our local radio station is collecting Valentine's to deliver to children in the hospital for Valentine's Day so we've made cards and challenged our church and CC group to add to our bounty.  Hoping we can take a truckload by on Friday!

My favorite thing this week was...

Having my husband home more although it is due to sad circumstances - I have enjoyed him being close by.  His father is not doing well.  He has been battling cancer for a while and is come to a point of complete feebleness.

What's working/not working for us...

CC is really working for us right now.  We have been praying over joining next year because the cost is quite high for a one income family but  we all really enjoy it and are learning so much.  Also, God provided us with unexpected money to aid in our decision.  He is just so awesome!!  So, we will be joining back up for next year!!

Homeschool questions/thoughts I have...

pondering joining the local homeschool group at the YMCA for PE.  I was the person to get this group going,lol, and that was 3 years ago and we have yet to join.   Our schedule already stays so full - it's just one more thing to add.  It would not be out of the way though since we are always close by there anyway!

A photo to share...

Best buddies - I always wanted an older brother just like my son!  He is so kind and protective of his sister.  I love how he takes care of her and he will definitely be the go to person when she starts dating :)
