Another week complete

This was the week with Valentine's Day.  Since we started homeschooling (4 years ago this week), I'm sure the kids have missed the school parties.  This year our next door neighbor has been gracious enough to include us in her family parties.  All of her grandkids are home schooled so it's been fun to participate.  Monday night we had great fun, lots of candy and got to exchange Valentine's!  Great fun, as well as a great sugar high was had by all!!

I am so thankful for our 4 day school week.  Most of this school year we have done 5 days of work in 4 days and used Friday for our field trips, family days or just to catch up on stuff at home.  This has really freed us up to enjoy a long weekend but still get done what needs to!  This week we finished up Landmark book of History by talking about the first men landing on the moon.  It was funny to tell the kids that Chris has a newspaper from that day too!  So as much as I give him a hard time about what he holds onto, this one paid off!

So to wrap up, this is the week in which we started packing.  School in the morning and early afternoon, packing in the afternoon.  Our last move was very quick, we found out one Friday and we were completely moved the following Friday, so I'm trying to be more intentional with what we move and make sure it is something we really want to move.  Most days it is slow going through all the stuff junk but I hope it will pay off and we'll be loading and unloading less boxes!  Now I really need to get out there and take some pictures to go along with these blog posts, so until then.......
