It’s funny I actually  have 3 blogs right now but they all are about different things. This one I haven’t been blogging much on as we really are now after school and summer school at home family and I feel odd blogging here about other things. So I will be sharing some of the things we are doing for education this summer here, while my xanga blog is more about day to day life, and being a stay at home mom. And then my blogspot one is just for my family to cover summer  activites.

So on that note what are your educational plans for the Summer ?

We are doing a hour of math a day, then we also have a craft once a week , plus we are doing a study on Owls, and Astromony oh and a study on the Greeks. I will list how we are going to be doing those later this week end. I really look forward to learning with the kids during the summer, just right dh feels that our small country school is were the kids belong.

I am doing a giveaway on my other blog at www.xanga.com/midge8

I have a new blog as our life has changed, and all the kids are in school and I felt a little odd posting here. I will keep this blog as a I don’t know how to move everything and I will still write about afterschooling and other topics on here. But the blog about our daily life is now at www.xanga.com/midge8 so come on over and visit us.
