I'm Back!

Well actually we have been back since last Saturday, but we've been busy. The trip was great, but too short. It is so hard to catch up with everyone when you haven't seen each other in 5 years. I was so happy my two sisters and all my family finally got to see my daughter. None of them had ever seen her. I have pics from the trip but haven't gotten them loaded on my computer yet.

We had a rather quiet 4th, it was nice. Since then we have been working on redecorating my daughter's bedroom. Her toddler bed finally gave up the fight and died, so we purchased her a new twin mattress set. She was so excited. I am working on fitting her antique french headboard I refinished for her to the new bed. The old headboards are bigger than the new beds. Minor detail though. I hope to put some pics on the site when I complete our masterpiece.

I have also been ordering curriculum for next year. I have everything ordered except math and science for my son. He didn't want to do Math U See this year so we thought of doing Saxon since that was what he did in public school, but hated. When I researched and saw the Saxon I saw that for 54 they have to do more independent work and math is one area that my son doesn't like to be left to fend for himself. So we are still looking. I want to order Real Science 4 Kids Chemistry for him. I really like all that I have read about it and seen of the books. I guess I just hate to dish out so much money for it. Anywho, I will post some pics and more later.
