This photo is getting framed!lol
Well, it's been a nice summer. Nice and relaxing, even if we did school the whole time.lol I just love the weeks where I no longer have to "be somewhere". Next week all our stuff starts back up again. We'll be going to homeschool p.e. twice a week, at two different hours. Evie will be old enough to be the the youngest class. (I can't believe that she's going to be five.) It's going to be interesting to see how our school year will go with all the extra things thrown in. I'm praying over each thing we add and will evaluate each of them at the end of the month. If I feel it's taking away from the family as opposed to adding, well, it's not going to last. We're also going to try Sunday school this year. Allison and Jon already go, but we think Evie will be ready this year. So we'll have P.E. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Bible study for Allison on Wednesdays, Confirmation on Fridays for Jon, Sunday school for the three oldest on Sunday mornings, Skating for the two oldest on Saturdays, and I still need to add one or two more activities but I'm going to see how these hold up first.LOL Allison wants to take guitar lessons and may do dance again this year if they offer it. Jon could use an art class, since I don't know how to draw and he's interested in it. Evie needs something this year, maybe a dance class. Oh, and we need to make it to the park each week as soon as it gets a little cooler outside. Isaac really needs his park time. Writing this all out makes me realize that there just isn't enough of me to go around. I sure do wish I had more help. Luckily, everything is pretty close to home so I don't have huge drives to each thing.
I pray that each of you has a wonderful school year!
Blessings,
Lisa

Lisa, that sounds like what I've been doing -- trying to schedule everything. I think it's wonderful you are praying over each choice.
It's so easy to be so very busy, isn't it? Even if it's just one or two activities per child, that sure adds up.
I just started thinking towards the new year today! All our outside stuff starts in three weeks and I alternate looking forward to it and dreading it.
It's hard this year. I want the older kids to get the activities but I also want my littles not to spend all their waking hours in the car.
Lisa - I'm not ready to start all the fall activities. We didn't have a hot and sunny enough summer to satisfy me. Do we really have to jump back in to all those activities? We have many of the same - PE, BSF (Bible study), Awana, and co-op. I'm still trying to decide about the Moms in Touch prayer group. Sigh. A lot to decide.
Lisa,
I'm SO not ready to start school.. ugh... I still have a couple months worth of home projects to finish up.... summer just isn't long enough for homeschooling families,
I also cannot believe Evie will be 5! I guess I've known you for ever!
