Well we started our kinder program yesterday and he is really enjoying it.  I will post some pics after the creation study is done.  The book is fun to make.  The lessons don't take too long to teach which works great for my little guy.  So far it is only taking us about an hour to finish..as time goes on and he gets more comfortable with school I will probably add just a little but I want to wait and see how things go once the lessons start...

Kindergarten is almost here!!

Well, fall is quickly coming up, even though it seems like summer just started!!  This year I will be using a great curriculum called My Father's World.. It is a great program and you can learn more about it here.

I plan on being a more active blogger and will be updating my blog and sharing out homeschool days with everyone here.  I am so excited to get started and to share everything with all my friends here. 

I won't be starting til the middle of September, and it will be fun to share our life with you guys..

its been too long...

well its been along time since i have posted anything.. I apologize, but just got busy with life...  my oldest son, who is now 17yrs old has decided he wants to just get his GED.. so we are working towards that..  He is also thinking of going to Job Corps, which i thing will be good for him and he will enjoy it as well.. He hasn't made up his mind yet so we will see..

My youngest has turned 5 now and we are working at preparing him for some kindergarten learning.. I am not really rushing anything because i feel there is plenty of time for that.. He will NOT be going to public school.. I will homeschool him. I am very excited about this adventure me and him will go on together. :o)  I am not totally sure if i will use a formal curriculum or just take it slower and do something myself.. if i do choose to use a curriculum i have decided to use My Father's World ... it is a great Christian based program!!  I am hoping to be able to purchase a copy from someone who is done with theirs.

A couple of weeks ago, I have decided to learn to eat more healthy and get mor active.. I really am looking to lose some weight and generally become more healthy.. its been hard.. I am still learning about healthy food choices and recipes that i can cook for the family that are quick simple and cheap and HEALTHY.. I have been walking alomst 2 miles 5 days a week and it feels great to get out and about..  I am really hoping to get a car soon and then i will be able to broaden my walking choices.. right now i am pretty limited to walking just here in town.. I would love to go to some pretty walking trails and take the family and go for a nice walk.. I think the variety would help.  I have been using the website SparkPeople its a great site with lots of information and tools and its all free...

Wish me luck!!

Merry Christmas

Its seems like just yesterday i was preparing Thanksgiving dinner! This year is going by so fast... I have been busy this last couple of weeks baking and cooking for myself and others, including my doggies.. :o) and still have to bake a birthday cake for Christmas Day..

I have made, fudge, two different kinds of cookies, some peanut brittle and a chewy peanut chocolate bar thingy that was a huge hit with my teenager... oh, and i baked some pumpkin bread, which is my favorite, i love it with a cup of coffee.. mmm mmm...

My kids have so excited for christmas it is fun to watch them.. my youngest (4yrs) just loved decorating the Christmas tree.. we haven't done many crafts this year, I am not sure why, just didn't get around to it i guess.

I pulled my oldest son back out of public school as he was just not getting work done, am wishing i kept him in the web academy.. we are now waiting to get back in, and I am worried he will fall behind.. when i first registered him, they told me there was a waiting list, but it should not be more then 5 business days, so i went ahead and withdrew him from ps, then the 5 days turned to 2 weeks and then longer.. Now it is Christmas vacation and he was 3 down on the list so he should be in after the vacation, but he has been out of school for about a month now! That is just too long, he will have to work extra hard to make up for some time, but his grades should be better...

We have also aquired two new family members!! We are so excited.. the Pomeraniam is Tikaani and is my oldest's son's early birthday present.. and the Chihuahua (she is a mix) is mine, her name is Bella and i love her very much. we are so excited to have them and they fit perfectly into our family
So, what are your plans for Christmas??? Please share, I look forward to hearing about all your plans and the things you have done.. Also, do you have a special recipe you would like to share that you make for Christmas???
