The final week

of getting things ready and *resting* before we start homeschooling again.

Ah, that was a nice summer. It was so fun to not even think about homeschooling. Lol, I realise that what I jsut wrote is so untrue. What I mean is not having to homeschool for two months. I love thinking and researching what we will use and what I need to get to make our learning more fun. I know I often go overboard as far as getting things but this is fun for me. It is fun for the kids also. And I know I am doing it right because they have been asking to homeschool again for many weeks now. They are getting anxious to learn, to read, to do the crafts I have planned, to learn more Sign Language and more Spanish, to do the trips I have told them about.

Speaking of trips. If the weather permits, we will be going on a dinosaur dig next weekend! I cannot wait, it is going to be SO much fun. I wanted to wait until we do chpater one of SOTW but the site closes after Labor Day. Oh well, we will visit first then learn after.

I ahve to admit that I also found a very special prehistoric game for the kids. They wanted to play with it right away but I told them they needed to wait until we learned about the cavemen and all. Lol, another reaso why they want to start homeschool asao, hey? New games, new books, new globe, new crafts, new dvds (I got them the series about the Earth and the dinosaurs and have let them watch it as often as they asked. It is so interesting.), and soon, a new school room. I told them that they will be able to cuddle in front of the fireplace and read books together once the room is done and they have been talking about almost everyday. Wonder if we can grill marshmellows in an electric fireplace? :p
