We've had an onslaught of "must do's" that have kept us on the road during much of the day.

Things like a consulation with the oral surgeon to find out what it will cost to have the 18-yr old's wisdom teeth removed ($1373.00) and what our part of that will be (*gulp* $580.00) and other kinds of high-stress, non-fun, anti-schooling activities.

So here's what school has looked like lately...

For Home Skills, we covered decorating and recycling:

For Art, there's the "if life gives you an ant pile make a dragon" lesson:

For Science, since it's spring we're finding caterpillars:

For P.E. there's always hiking:

And Music is important:

Sometimes life gets in the way of school.
Sometimes life IS school.

SO well said!! The orthodontic prices you threw out there made me cringe a little bit. Something for me to look forward to, huh? Yikes!! Btw, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who has children who often leave me scratching my head! :-)

Hope next week isn't so crazy!

$1400 for wisdom teeth? : ( We had to pay almost $2000 for my dd's (and the cyst) recently. Plus, they wouldn't file the insurance and wanted all the money upfront.
Hope your day gets brighter. Remember it is Friday! woo-hoo....

Oh my...don't I know it! That was the one misconception I had going into homeschooling....that I could actually stick to a schedule. I always like to laugh at new homeschooler's schedules.

So sorry about the wisdom teeth thing. We went to the local dental school when I was in college. My teeth were too tough for a student, but the staff did it a lot cheaper than my dentist would have. Sorry the whole thing is causing you stress. :'(

Loved the rest of the entry! The pictures were great! Life is school sometimes, and I want to remember that. :')

Very true - life and school are interchangeable sometimes. And a good thing too!! Your kind of school looks fun!

Yikes on the wisdom teeth. =8~O

Blessings,

How true! My boys have learned some great lessons this year not being "in school". Some days were more grounding than any day in a classroom. Still looks good to me! I love the "recycling and decorating" looks like our yard. The kids favorite thing is digging for treasure in the recycle box.

Yep, that's about how our school year went this year.
Life is school.
Yikes on the dentist bill. My daughter's was 2200. none of it covered by insurance and those are her baby teeth that will start falling out in the next year.

None of my girls have had any wisdom teeth come in yet (20 and 16) - Thankfully, the 20yo finished college and started working for the county so she has excellent insurance even for dental and vision;-)

It is still cold here, so we are anxiously awaiting the caterpillars. We love bug catching.
