Got my bike ride AND shower in and the kids are just starting to get up. Yesterday I got as far as the bike ride and then the day just seemed to start before I could get to the shower...after spending the day in my workout clothes I <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">contemplated</span> whether 8pm was too late for a shower and ended up just slipping into the bath with my two year old...at least I got to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">freshen</span> up before bed :) <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">hmmm</span><br />Speaking of slipping away...where did the first week of August go???<br />I was <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">going</span>...GOING to start school the first week of August...time for a new plan...good thing we're flexible here.<br />I'm so excited to be adding the younger two children "officially" to our <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">homeschool</span> this year in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">pre</span>-K and preschool (they are 2.5 & 4.5) along with older brother who will be starting 4<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> grade.<br />We have moved our schoolroom downstairs this year as my son and I were both growing weary of the kitchen table...<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">blahhh</span>. We have a fresh new start this year and we are really excited. I'll post some pictures later today.<br />So now this weekend we are all about getting ready for our first (our new first ) day ...Monday...yeah!! Actually we have started the past month working on <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">acclimating</span> a loose school day routine and now we're going to plug more school stuff into it and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">polish</span> it up. I was trying to avoid the shock of a sudden total change and the resistance that entails...trying to think ahead ... Every once in a while it actually works :):)<br /><br /><a href="http://homeschoolcreations.blogspot.com/search/label/Preschool%20Corner" target="_blank"><img src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y37/jolantheerb/PreschoolCornersidebarbutton210.jpg" alt="preschool corner" /></a>">Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3
