Whew! I am feeling a little tired today! Is it Friday Yet?!? :)
Today has been an interesting day. Had a mishap happen with the middle school where Kenzie is supposed to be attending band. Apparently she got deleted over the summer. I have made various phone calls trying to re-enlist her, but so far I am not getting my phone call returned. Kind of annoying!
Other that that, our day was wonderful! This was our 3rd day officially. I think we are starting to get in the groove of things. It was a strange morning, watching the school bus pass and my kids not getting on it! (It was the first day in our area.) I think it made 'homeschooling' a little more real to all of us, but I can't help but constantly say how weird it is. I don't know why, it just feels WEIRD! ;) Being a graduate of public education, I just can't imagine that any learning can happen outside of that public, government run ;) school building! (Have I been programed or what?) I am beginning to wonder exactly how long it will take for this to feel normal. Not just normal, but excellent.
Studying the list of prepositions with Kenzie is actually going very well. She still feels kind of funny memorizing a list of words, but I love watching it 'click' with her. I am excited to see how well the girls excel in grammar!
In our bible time we are studying stewardship, as I have previously mentioned. Today we made charts to track our progress over the next 2 months or so that we are doing this study. I made one myself, I figure if I don't lead by example, why in the world would they get it? Our categories are: money, time, talent, home, work, earth, gospel and body. WHEW! Just think about this for a minute. This would be a lot of pressure on anyone! :) I have to "improve" in these areas right along side my girls. I joke, but seriously... I am excited to see the growth that is not only going to start happening in my daughter's lives, but mine (and Jason's) as well!
The fun part of our day today was studying Pharaohs and pyramids of Egypt. We ended up doing a lot of reading. I also am lucky enough to have a book my mom gave Kenzie that has giant photos of all kind of things related to this. It was great, we must have spent another 30 minutes looking through and discussing that. (Chloe wasn't thrilled by the mummy of Ramses II. That was personally, my favorite part! ;) Anyway, it was a VERY interesting day, and Chloe told me afterward a very FUN day! I'll take that! :)
THe photos above are pictures of the pyramids the girls constructed. Each including their names spelled in hieroglyphics! (Oh my goodness, I spelled that right the first time!)
I remember that first day of public school when my kids didn't go...I felt like I was going to get in to trouble LOL We went to Target just to be ornry :)
