Today's the first day of school for Audrey and Emma. Hello seventh and fourth grades!
Heading out the door to school:
Arriving at school:
Though we could have had the first day in our jammies, we decided to get dressed for the first day! Pajama days are fun, but we've decided to save them for every once in a while to make them special.
(Hmm...just had a vision of a snowy morning, hot chocolate, jammies, and school by the fireplace. Maybe winter won't be so bad...)
Taking a lunch break and getting ready to do some out loud reading. We've covered history, science, spelling, grammar, writing, and Bible this morning. Phew! Must say that having planners for the girls is working well so far (half a day in!). They are writing down their assignments to check off as they complete them, so I'm only having to say things once. And that is a very good thing.
Off to eat my PB&J, which seems like a perfect first day of school kind of a lunch, if you ask me. Maybe I'll even have pudding for dessert.
Beyond like this...LOVE it.
So wish I had homeschooled my girl.
Enjoy this time with them.
Love u.
Me

So cute! And yes, pudding is always the best dessert after a PBJ!

I love this!! with Charity starting Kindergarten next year I am on my knees talking with the Lord about what to do. I love the idea of homeschool... not sure if I could do it. I need to do more homeschool homework.. already visited some schools and found one that we like. Any advice?
P.S. I went all bible dictionary and concordance on my women's bible study homework and one of the ladies said, "Oh, JoAnne would be so proud!" Thought you'd enjoy that!

Love the first day of school pic! I am "Kristy" and I'm on my knees in prayer about what to do. He's in a public Montessori school right now that ends at the end of 5th grade - he just started 4th grade. The DH and I are working an aggressive debt-retirement plan, and he just got hired full time with benefits and a raise at his new job. I'm prayerful that I can stay home (or work evenings/weekends/not at all) and homeschool for middle school. Have a great time!
