Baseball is OVER!!!!

Well finally our summer can get started the right way. This last weekend we finished up baseball season with the final tournament placing 3rd. We were very proud of our boys. But now it is time to have some summer fun doing other things. John is getting ready to take his vacation we are just going to stick around the house and do things in the area. Next week the boys will being heading to Oklahoma to spend a week with John's parents,My parents will get them in August since we won't be starting school until September. This will be our first full year of home schooling so it should be interesting and hopefully full of adventures. That I will be sure and share with everyone.

Hot and sticky

Well summer is upon us and it is hot and sticky in the state of Kansas. The boys are loving being out of school. But little do they know that mom is already planning next school year. We have spent most of our time running from ball field to ball field. Any free time we have spent at the new Gardner aquatic center, which has been so much fun. There is nothing like a day of swimming and hot sun to totally wear the boys out and then we can have a quiet evening at home. I wish!!!! With 2 growing boys there is no such thing as a quiet night. In the coming weeks the boys will be traveling to Oklahoma to spend a couple weeks with grandparents, which means mom and dad will be in the house all alone. Then we will have all the peace and quiet we want. But then we will just wish that they were back home.

Almost Summer Thank Goodness!!!!

Well our first year of homeschooling is almost complete. But do you ever stop learning? The boys have done better than I ever expected. We have concentrated mainly on math,writing and reading. I guess you could say we went back to the 3 r's of school. We also did a geography project where we collect postcards from other homeschooled children all over the USA and some over seas. We also did a baseball unit study during the spring. The boys really enjoyed it and it got them ready for baseball season, which is upon us. In the coming weeks we have one reading project due and a family night of fun and acknowledgement of all the boys hard work. I look forward to the summer and we will see how much "learning" we will do.
