Ok, we have less than 10 days to go to hit the 180 day mark!     I'm not sure why that is such a relief, considering the fact that I'm going to keep going over the summer!  But, somehow, knowing we've at least made that goal mark is something I look forward to.  Once we hit that, we can continue on, and it doesn't feel like something we have to do.  Does that make any sense?

 

So, yes, we'll be done.  But, no, we won't be done!  We're going to keep up with math, the Earobics, and start into the phonics program.  Maybe finish up the Revolutionary War in history.  I'm not yet sure what the summer program will entail.  And will the continued school be extra for this year or the start of next?  Or both?  I haven't gotten that far in my thinking yet. 

 

We are expecting a new dd in August, so I want to have some school under our belt before we hit that big event.  Then we can take some time off to adjust to having a little one in the house again.      

 

Apart from trying to finish up those remaining few 'official' days of school, spring activities have hit full force.  The calendar is really full this month, and it has been hard to squeeze school in the last couple of weeks.  Lots of appointments hitting at the same time further complicate things.   Makes it to easy to let a day slip by without getting our school work done. 

 

So close to the finish line, and yet it still looks far away!  I remember that feeling from my own school days.  It felt like that last day would never come.  Hmmm.... teachers must have felt the same way because I remember a lot of photocopied activity pages toward the end of the year - crosswords, etc.  Busywork maybe? 

 

Well, we'll just keep on running until we get there!

Glad you all are approaching a victory line! I'm ready to get there too! Like you said, it's fun to be in summer mode, when you can do learning but you don't feel like you have to! Look forward to baby news. Hope you're feeling well! Christa

Just stopping by to see what you're up to, Hope things are still going well. We keep going through summer too, though much toned down... and with a baby due in November, I too want to have a lot of the next year under our belts, so I really want to accomplish some stuff this summer.
Have a good one,
ali

...to say HI! Hope all is well and things are going smoothly. How's your pregnancy going? I bet things are getting really exciting around your place. Well, you are probably swamped with things to do but I thought I'd stop by and let you know I was thinking of you and your family. You're in our prayers!

Blessings,

P.S.Have you thought of a name for the baby?
