We started back to homeschool this week! Monday morning to be exact. The kids didn’t even complain! Love it!
Ever since we began homeschooling and took our first summer off, I haven’t liked long summer breaks. It’s too hard to get the kids back onto a school schedule. I’ve always said it’s easier to homeschool year round than to hear the arguing, whining, and complaining after summer vacation. That’s why the most we take off from school at a time is one month.
So we started school again Monday morning. We had a great day! I’ll be sharing what curriculum we’re using next week. We have a mixture of books and computer. Both kids like everything they are doing. For the most part. lol My 8th grade son doesn’t like math.
Monday night, my husband and I took just the two still in school out for root beer floats to celebrate the new school year. I forgot the local pizza place we went to closed early on weeknights, so we had to get our root beer floats to go We took them to the park, instead of going home with them. We finished our floats, then walk around for a few minutes before heading home.
The water level in the creek was pretty low, but it was pretty anyway. Kentucky is really a beautiful state!
Tuesday night, Abby, 10th grade, had a back to school party/band leader birthday party to go to. She had a good time. Wednesday night they attended church.
I went into the store the other day to get some vinegar to make pickles with. I thought it would be a good time to pick up some paper. It turned out to be the day before the public schools started! Can you say madhouse? lol I had a hard time getting through the crowd, but managed to grab a few things.
Four packages of lined paper, 10 notebooks, and 10 comp books. I hope it’s enough! If I find some on clearance sales, I’ll probably get more. If not, I guess I’ll want until we run out. Of course, I’m still adjusting to having only two students, so I probably overbought. lol
I shared a new review the other day, Roman Roads Media Old Western Culture: The Greeks. Stop by and check it out!
We also have something new to deal with as a family. You can read about it over here – The Sandwich Generation
I have an awesome back to homeschool giveaway going live Saturday morning! You won’t want to miss it!

It sounds like a great first week back. I am adjusting this year to only having two students as well. How the time speeds by.
