All that is going on!

Well it has been a while since I've posted. I'm sure I could come up with a list of excuses to present my case before you however after I write out all that is going on you'll get that I'm just very busy!

School started about a month ago for us, but all the activities had not started just yet. Well that has changed because we have started the WAR book club (Wild About Reading), the Boys Book Club, Volleyball, Football, Cheerleading, Robotics club, Awanas, Bible Drill, and Enrichment. I'm sure there is more but that is all I could remember.

Enrichment is our Monday's out when we adventure out and into our "school" mode allowing other moms to enrich our children lives with experiences better than ours. My kids are taking Old Testament History, crafts, recorder, cooking, sewing, Texas History, Photography, sign language, and study skills. Their first day was yesterday and they were very excited. They love enrichment.

Sarah is reading Out of the Silent Planet, by C.S. Lewis for her book club (a science fiction trilogy), and Zech is reading Castle in the Attic for his book club (zech's book is below his reading level in fact he read it in about 2 hours but he enjoys the rough and tumble getting together with the boys and just playing hard). Sarah with her birthday money purchased the Kingdom Dawn series and has already read the first 4 books! Sarah is also tackling learning the SAT program. She will do the SAT, the PSAT, and the ACT this year from home on practice test and that will help her be ready to take the actual ones her freshman year of high school!

Tomorrow I'll talk more about our robotic club and all it is doing but this year we truly have a well rounded and very busy school year. The kids are learning so much and yet are truly excited about their studies (except math & a few other things they don't like, but Zech is liking his math!). So as you can tell we are learning, maturing, and growing in so many ways!
