2008 Kickoff!

We finished a week of school for 2008 and overall it was a great week.

We did school everyday this week with slight modifications to some of our days and all went well. Here is a brief recap of our week:

Monday: New Year's Eve, snow, and NANA had to go home! The day was actually good because school diverted the girls attention from the fact that their Nana had to go back home. The girls miss her so much and love every minute of their time with her. Her plan was to leave Sunday, but the girls begged her to stay until Monday...we even prayed she would stay..and she did!

My mom was truly interested in watching the whole home school scene. She has been so supportive of our decision to do this with our girls and that has been a great blessing. My mom is always very encouraging and supportive...thanks Mom!

Tuesday: New Years Day, and my sweet Honey was home! He really did not want me to do school that day, because he was home and we should be having FUN! We compromised..he would help and we would finish quicker. We had a very QUICK day! We enjoyed Daddy being home and had fun in the snow after our work was done. Great start to 2008.

Wednesday: Baby Girl back to school and a side trip to Target to spend Christmas money.
The girls did all their work in a timely manner and it was a good day!

Thursday: Baby Girl had a doctors appointment in Hershey. She had a follow up for some stomach problems that have persisted for the last 3 years. Lovely went and did school at her grandparents and Sporty went to her best friends house and did school there. The older girls started basketball practice today. They both enjoy this time out to play and be with friends.

Friday: Not the greatest! School was challenging. It is partially my fault. I was trying to take down the last of our Christmas decorations, clean, and do school! Not smart on my part. I ended up very frustrated and very irritable. I had to apologize more than once for my mood. I am not justifying it but to be honest I am very stressed about all the medical stuff that is going on in our home. I have to keep my focus on the Lord so as to not let fear take over.

Overall we had a good week. We are all looking forward to a low key weekend before we go into the next week.
