The first few days "back at school" have been going great!! They have been working so hard and getting everything done in such a timely manner. I'm so very proud of them!! We have even been able to get History and Science done before lunch!! Very unusual for us. We've been having fun too.
I told them that if they continue to get everything done in such a timely manner that we can add some more subjects that are fun stuff to our day and they are all for that. I hope they keep this up!
Well, just wanted to do a quick update. Have a great Wednesday!

Good Morning, dear Homeschooling friends! Well, we are back at school this week. I think everyone enjoyed their time off but were ready to get back to it. How wonderful is that???
DH will be deploying shortly and so we took off from school while he was on leave for the last month or so. It was wonderful. The kids both had some wonderful quality time with their dad which was very important, especially for DS. I'm so glad that they had the time together with out having to worry about school work or anything. It was very nice. And yes, I too had some wonderful quality time with DH and the kids too.
This morning we started the kids on their Financial Peace plan and they are really excited! Me too. It was so fun to see them planning and wanting to do right with their money.
They are both busy now on their language arts and math. DD just jumped right in this morning. She was excited to get back to her language arts. DS is feeling a little puny with a cold so he's moving a little more slowly but I think he too is ready to be back at it.
We are heading into the Revolutionary War soon so we are finishing up with Colonial America. We did a lot of that last year so we are touching on it here and there. We are using Learning Through History Magazine and I'm excited to get started with it.
We have got to move on with our Science but it will probably start tomorrow. I need to see what I have planned (or plan it).
It's good to be back at it. I hope you all are doing well too. I'll try to be better at up dating here.

Happy New Year!!
Hope you are having a wonderful start to your New Year! We are probably going to take one more week off as DH is still home on leave but will be deploying soon. I feel like spending this time with him is really important for us. We can make up our schooling on weekends or in the summer is necessary.
So... Happy New Year!!
