Thousand Steps Beach

We've set a goal with the S Family to visit a new place every month. This month it was the "thousand steps beach" - I didn't count them while walking either down nor back up - but there were a lot. The day spent together was worth the walk.

Science Fair

In partnership with the school I work at the girls participated in the science fair. Both of them placed!

It's been a great year

Partnering with Local School

How I homeschool is about to change!

The school I work for has agreed to launch an experimental program to test to possibility of partnering with other homeschoolers in our community to offer classes. I am so excited for this program.

For now my #1 and #2 will be taking SCIENCE  as a core class from the school I work in.

Today was our first day of school.

Happy Mother's Day

I got a sweet Mother's day card, gift and flowers today. The Webkins fish is actually a really nice gift as I love to relax in the evening and play Webkins! The games are educational and fun. it helps me stay connected to the kids as they too love to play and collect the Webkins animals!

Surgery

Douglas Has to have eye surgery. He is having what is called  strabismus surgery. During this surgery,  his eye muscles will be strengthened, to improve alignment.  He has to have both his left and right eye done. He's not scared at all because they gave him an ipad to play with and he rarely gets to play with electronics so this is a novelty!
