Day #3 of No Facebook November...

I admit, I don't like it so far. I feel a bit disconnected and isolated. I guess as a homeschool Mom it is a way I stay in the loop. We are out of the house nearly every day...okay, I don't remember the last time we had a whole day at home, but that doesn't always mean knowing what's going on with people. I don't anticipate making it the whole month and will at least check in on this coming Sunday.

This week I added 4 new subjects to the curriculum, and while they aren't really "new" subjects, they have not officially been scheduled before. So this has been a very busy week with art, science, phy ed, and home ec. We've baked cookies and granola, made paper, studied composting, made a prayer banner and today started on a 3 part watercolor and acrylic painting of a fall tree. We both love the variety this week has introduced, but we are both wiped. I think I need to scale back a little as it leaves very little room for the extras in life and we find ourselves rushing through things or still doing school work at 7:00 at night, and that was never my intention. Live and learn.

 

Rebekah starting her watercolor after gymnastics and dinner tonight, about 8:00 PM. It was great bribery to get her to eat her veggies though! HAAHAA!

Tomorrow we are going to Sears to get our very first professional family picture taken. I still have no idea what we are wearing. Clothes...I guess :)
