Sweet Summertime

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?
