Summer's coming to an end

And we are gearing up for the start of the school year.

 

I'm doing the K-12 program with my two girlies this school year.  For those that don't know what K-12 is, it's basically public school at home.  They provide EVERYTHING that you'd need - Books, science materials, art supplies, etc.  You name it, if it's required for a class, they provide it.  Now, you still have to provide the basic school supplies, but everything else comes with it.  It's AWESOME! 

 

And thanks to my AMAZING Mom and Dad, I don't even have to worry about the basic supplies. Seriously, I couldn't ask for better parents.

 

We now officially have all of the supplies that K-12 sends out, and I've got it all organized into the school room.  We have the table and chairs set up, the whiteboard up on the wall, the chalkboard up on the wall, and all the supplies within easy reach.  :)  I used a shoe organizer to organize the smaller stuff, like the dry erase markers, chalk, clay, etc. And then we have a stand alone wardrobe that we are using to store the books.  It looks AWESOME in there. :)  I'm SO excited.  I swear, I'm more excited than my girlies are!

 

School starts August 18 - We are LESS THAN A WEEK AWAY!!  YAY!  Seriously, I've wanted to homeschool for a while now, and we finally got the push to do it when we moved into a different school district - one that is year round (which I REALLY didn't want to have to do, and they also have school uniforms, which I didn't want the girls to have to put up with either).  Yeah, we are in a MUCH smaller house, but we have it set up so that it will be AWESOME!  AND we can go out and do stuff in the yard as the temps get cooler.  And on top of that, during the winter, when it's too cold outside to do anything and the rest of the house is COLD (no central heat and air) the school room will have the heater in it, so we should stay comfy while we do the work. :)  Yes, I've thought it all out, lol.

Now on to less exciting news.

 

Our car messed up - AGAIN!  SOO, we are without a car for a few days.  Go figure, lol.  At least there's nothing we really HAVE to do right now to use the car.  It just stinks that it's still messed up.

 

And it happened to me on the way to get my hubby from work.  Scared the heck out of me!  But at least we made it home in one piece, lol.  That's what really matters right?  And we will be fine, I'm sure.  Just one of those things.

 

But that's not a bad thing.  That'll give me the time I need to get the rest of the house cleaned and organized.  AND let me get caught up on laundry!  I got my own washer now!  No dryer, but we have a clothes line outside that I hang things up on.  It's AWESOME to be able to do my own laundry!  I can do a load a day, and not have to do a TON on one day.  So excited!  heh.  How sad is that?

 

Anyway, Hope everyone had an awesome day
