Homeschooling

Wowee! I think I am going to like the upcoming school year! Last year, during the second semester, we tried on homeschooling. I gave it a ton of thought and talked to Rob about how he felt. We have decided to go for it, and this year, not only are we homeschooling Matthew, but Brandon as well! If we were sending them to traditional school, Brandon would be in a Head start or Child Development type class, so why not!

I have been in touch with a lady here in town that also homeschools. We happened to be chit chatting on the internet and talking about Brandon. She offered me a book...well, that book turned into 3 boxes of books for both kids! I have posters, flash cards, books, you name it! I only lack getting chalk and some wipe-off markers and we are ready to rock and roll!

Since they didn't have much of a summer with Tommy having surgery, and all of that yucky stuff, I decided not to start them until Sept 4th. The regular school district starts here Aug 21, so it isn't too far behind the regular year. I am really excited to get on a good schedule and watch them thrive and learn each day. Here's the latest of the troops!

Cute kids!! When Evan gets older I will have to pick your brains about home schooling. I am really starting to feel like that is the way to go for us.
