Since all our curriculum started coming in for next year I have been trying to organize my household so that things will run more smoothly next year. As you can see on my slide show I have already gotten my storage closet organized. Now it comes to the books. I have had to purchase a few new book shelves to accommodate all our books.
We also purchased a new PC for homeschooling. Our old one was so slow and ancient and my laptop is not really child friendly. Now I am waiting to get internet hooked up to it. This new internet will be a lot faster than mine.
I also purchased a management software for my computer. It will organize my lesson plans, attendance, keep up with grades and such. I have already been using it and I love it. I can print out daily and weekly lesson lists. It will hopefully cut down on the amount of paper and work I have to do.
I am going to post my final curriculum list on my side bar for next year. I hope that everything works out well for us.

Weekend is over, now back to life...
It has been so nice for the last week just doing fun stuff. No school, very little house work and having fun. Now we have to go back to real life. Poogie has ballet recital rehearsal twice this week, my mom is having some more dental work done (I have to take her), and there is tons of house work to be done. Ug! I am ready for a break. After this week we will be done with all commitments until Poogie has ballet camp this summer. I am so ready for a good break.
It rained most of the day today so our weekend came to a not so sunny end. But it allowed me to do some much needed organizing of our school supplies. I purchased some rubber totes and organized all our supplies other than our school books. I tried to upload the photos for my blog here but I am having problems getting them to upload. I was successful in loading them to my slide show above. Tell me what you think. I am getting a new Internet connection in the next week. I hope it is faster and better than this wireless mess. It is awful.

Memorial Day weekend.
The kick off to summer. We have been very busy since our return from Hilton Head. The grass needed mowing, the house needed cleaning and we haven't been home much to do anything.
Therefore today was spent mowing yards, cleaning house and doing odds and ends that needed doing. We put up the pool we got the kids. It's just one of those blow up ring pools, 18ft, but it does the job. We decided to wait on the above ground until we get our house built.
Grocery shopping was a must due to our long trip last week. I have to say I am sick of eating out after our trip. I am ready to get back on my diet and eat healthy.
Tonight has been strange for my hubby and I. For the first time in years we are home alone. Poogie is spending the night up the hill with her cousin at my SIL's and TT is spending the night with my mom. We didn't quite know what to do with ourselves. So we watch National Treasure 2 and here I am on the computer. The movie was great by the way.
Oh, and of course we went to see Indiana Jones at the movies and it was excellent. It was such a treat to watch one of my favorite characters back after all these years.
Tomorrow we will cook out and chill out.
