We are mainly done tomorrow (the 14th) Dd's bday is on Thursday so we never do school that day. She will have a couple of chapters in her book to read this weekend and we need to catch up on our read aloud, but she does not consider that real school. I had hoped to do a Christmas lapbook next week, just some fun stuff but dh needs to get new print drivers for my computer. He got an old printer from work for free but the drivers on my machine messes up some format stuff. We will see, if not we will just make some Christmas cookies and hang out with friends.
We are going until the 22nd. My mom with Dementia recently moved in with us so it has thrown a few kinks in our schedule. I am finally getting us back on track and now it is almost time for a break lol! I agree with Leissa, the more we break the harder it is to get started again.
I QUIT!!! LOL! Yesterday we had our science classes. That's about all we did. Today we are getting our Christmas pictures done this AM. This was very important to my mom. She always went with us and paid for them, then took us to lunch. She passed away in January, so isn't with us now. I scheduled it for early (explaining to the kids lunch was NOT in our budget!). I figured we'd be home before noon, and ready to work. WRONG!!! The church where my girls attend youth group is spending the day working at an inner-city mission. Rachael informed me YESTERDAY that she really would like to go. She's got several hs'ed friends who will be doing this. So I'm dropping her and Faythe off after pictures; Phillip and I might stay and help, too, at least for a while. So that kills school for today! I'm behind on baking, so tht's what we'll probably be doing on Friday. Carl's last day of school is Tuesday.
Well, I'm not a homeschooler, but my son has school til the 22nd. If we were homeschooling, I'd probably go til the 23rd. I agree with whoever said that the longer you leave it, the harder it is to get back at it. My son has been home from school all week because he's sick, so I'm hoping he will get in the last couple of days and feel like part of his class again. Of course, I've been doing some "school" with him at home, just to keep him occupied, but I think he's already feeling the disconnect.
The 21st here, but my daughter will do some of her schoolwork though the holiday to catch up. Her school gave her the textbooks a month late so she's running a month behind.
started reading this late its a few days to Christmas and I had him doing school set up on SOS till wednesday, Just regenerated so he has less to do now this week so we wil stop after tomorrow with all class. He has a friend in private school who was running behind so his teacher made him go in for two days as well this week. Worked out nice cause he wants him to come over one day and hang out so since thhey will both finish up pretty much today ( Tuesday) he has one or two lessons tomorrow am. We are so far behind in baking I don;t have as many to bake for this year as people are out of town who I used to load up a big bin for because thier house was always full. Family that was coming, isnt, friends who usuallycome over for caroling arent this year and so its less to do, and my famiily is munching more too! lol Dinner is going to be a buffet of sandwhich fixings, finger foods that we never buy and that sort of fun things so I don't have to do a lot of work this year. Good thing cause half the house caught a cold this last weekend and I have a sick headache today. Looking forward to the next two weeks off let me tell you! Be blessed as you celebrate!
Today was Carl's last day, so we're done. Today I took my dad out Christmas shopping for the kids. Tomorrow Carl and I need to drive down to southern Ohio to his cousins' place to drop something off/pick something else up. About a three-hour trip one way, and we're doing it down and back in one day. Sigh....
I hope its not through a boring city filled area but a beautiful spacious land drive, then you can put on Christmas songs and sing away! Enjoy!
oo PURTY ROADS THEN ? I will pray for your safe driving! On topic---w e are done today, house will be cleaned I closed up school desk already this am and will make ds do his one SOS that is all.
We're home. Actually, it was a nice trip. We stopped and got a little bit of junk food, and we took a book (Agatha Christie's "The Body in the Library") on CD. It's about a 3 hour trip one-way. We went there and back without listening to the book AT ALL. Just actually TALKING to each other (!!!) Carl says we need to do this more often just so we can talk without kids interrupting, lol! Weather was wet going down most of the way, but not to where it was a problem. Coming home, the sun had come out, and it was a beautiful day. I don't know how many of you are familiar with central/southern Ohio. Central Ohio near Columbus can be a little hilly, but nothing spectacular. Eastern and central southern Ohio is actually getting into the Appalachian foothills. If you travel from Columbus south on Route 23, you come around a bend/up a hill just north of Chillicothe. And BOOM! there you are in the Appalachian foothills. It's that sudden. I use to travel that way a lot when I was younger, because my best friend lived along the Ohio River, and I always loved the way I would come up on it all at once. And it still hasn't lost its fascination. These are the same hills that Thomas Worthington, Ohio's first governor, saw from his home of Adena, and which he depicted on the Great Seal of the State of Ohio.
