End of Summer

Historic Cape Spear Lighthouse

Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland, Canada

I ran into Julie at the library today and our conversation reminded me that I've been meaning to give an update on the homeschooling thing. The update is this: we haven't done it for the last half of summer. Nice, right? ;)

The boys kept saying "let's do it next week" and that just kept going. I was not going to push it. I didn't want to make it stressful. Every now and then I'll quiz them on the geography we've learned, to try to keep it in their little minds. I might get a routine going during the school year where we can practice geography and learn new things. We'll see how it goes.

Meanwhile, during the girls' weekend we met people from Newfoundland and I was proud of myself for actually knowing where that is! Woot woot!

I think I'm ready for school to start. The boys met their teachers today and they are soooooo excited to start school. I'm both excited and nervous to have the whole day to myself. I had a few days in July all to myself and it felt like I was kind of floating around a bit. I missed the noise and the routine. So school will mean an adjustment for me... but I'm sure I'll figure it out. ;)
