Where did March Go?

March came and went too fast! It was a great month. I got so many things done and planned more projects for the near future.

I planned out my garden, built a bunny cage, read some great books, decided where we will live for the next 12 months, and started worm composting.

The kids and I have been studying the Renaissance and Reformation era in history and tons of Biology. Kelsea started driver's ed. Ishmael and Joshua are going full swing with Boy Scouts. Jeremiah is feeling somewhat left behind in Cub Scouts.

I'm swinging back and forth between filling my free time with exciting new projects, and working hard to have free time between school and work. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with it all. And sometimes I feel like I should be doing more.

Looking Forward to Next Week

Yesterday went okay. We finished some school work at least. I don't know what it is. I can have the best of intentions and have everything planned. When dh is home we don't get anything done. At least never near what I plan to do and probably just enough to count it as a school day. We have fun though so who can really complain?

I'm going to give the kids their Latin quiz this evening. We get to start next week off on schedule. That is such a good feeling. "On schedule"...sounds like music to my ears.

I'm also looking forward to doing more Bible study with the kids next week.

My older ones are really growing in their personal study. Kelsea's been spending alot of time reading her Bible lately. She will start reading Beautiful Girlhood sometime this month. I've not found anything that I like as much for Zerrick yet. I'm still looking though. In the mean time I will have him keep up his journal as he reads on his own.

I've downloaded the Homeschool Tracker for the 3rd time. I've lost it a couple of times in computer crashes. The last time it kept having a bunch of errors. This time maybe I will get it to do what it's supposed to. I've thought about buying the upgraded version but am afraid of spending $40 and it not working. I do have a teacher's planning notebook. It just doesn't cover everything that Homeschool Tracker did. This time, hopefully, it won't let me down.

Ten More Minutes

...till school starts today. Dh is home today. It would be nice for him to see what we do on school days. Some how we always end up playing when he is off. I do plan to get our math, reading, writing, and grammar done for today. Then we will review for our Latin Quiz tomorrow. I want to set Zerrick up for science. I bought him Apologia's General Science on cdrom and then my computer shut down. Hopefully with a new computer he will be able to use it. I'm thinking maybe I should have bought it in book form.
