Blog break —————> officially over. HA!
Who am I kidding, I’ve been doing this for five years, I can’t stay away long.
Whew. Our school year is coming to a close, sooner rather than later. We test at the end of May so from here on out it’s gonna be review, review & review some more.
I am SO ready for this year to be over but looking SO forward to next year. Isn’t that crazy. Mind of a homeschoolin’ momma I guess. Right now I just need a break from it, not so much the learning part, but the teaching part. During the school year, even when we take a day off, school is ALWAYS on my mind. Did we do this? Do they know how to do that? Will this be on the test? Should they know this? yada, yada, yada.
In Sunday school a couple weeks ago we talked about being in a rut, what kind of ruts you get into [job,relationships, church] and what to do about them. I’m here to tell ya, I’m in a homeschool rut! Big time. So, to mix things up a bit we are going to do some unofficial unschooling stuff over the summer. Lots of fieldtrips, lots of hands on stuff, lots of reading & lots of time spent doing what they want to do.
We also have our 2010 summer fun list up and the girls are very eager to get started.
Fun. That was Sarah’s idea. She just wants to have fun. A girl after my own heart.
When do you start summer break? Any big plans?
I am me plain & simple

Looks like a fun summer ahead. I love your list. As long as the oil stays away, we’re planning on lots of trips to the beach. There will also be trips to the library, trips to U Pick farms, visits with the family, and field trips exploring our new home since we just moved here at the end of December.

Michelle!! I wanna spend my summer with YOU! =)
We have the most boring dry dull summers here ever. Why don’t we ever do anything fun??? Ugh!!!
Is that a big poster board you put up? Sigh… I love it. I love the handwriting, the colors, the ideas…. Would you just mail me a board just like it? Hehee! Kidding. I’m going to do something like this though. I want to have a FUN summer! (Love that Sarah!!)
Looks like you guys have an awesome summer planned. We’re just heading to the beach (Destin!!) and enjoying the pool in the backyard. Summer sounds so much more fun when you don’t have to work…

Lord I think my comment about not working came out wrong! I was really reminiscing about when I was in school and I used to look forward to that break. And now that I have a job I don’t get that break any more to just get out there and have fun all summer long!!
Girl, I am seriously going to do a fun-list with the girls! Looks like so many good memories to be had! Better yet? Can we just tag along with you gals?! I know our girlies would love it.

Your plans look so fun. I might have to steal this idea. That way we can check stuff off our summer fun list. I love it. Nice job. Good luck with the testing. Here’s to a fun summer.
