We have started our new school year. Thursday was our first day. I know some may think that odd since most everyone has just wrapped up their but we have more of a spring break than a summer break. This is when we have the best weather here. We are trying a new curriculum called sonlight this year. I think its going to be really good. Its more complex than Im used too and Im teaching two levels so this make the day longer. This year instead of two children to teach I will have four. In sonlight you can teach several grades together so my 10 year old and 13 year old are together and my 5 and 6 year old are together. Of course they will each have their own math level and my daughter has a different Science. It is a literature based curriculum with lesson plans but still gives the flexibility that I like. I think right now our main objective is setting a routine and getting up earlier again. Of course we still have another week of baseball left. Could be longer depending on how the team plays at state next weekend. Today has been a very relaxed Saturday around the house. Ive done just enough to be ready for Sunday and the kids have played around the house. Ive finished my menu for the first week of July. A friend of mine says that she has made several weeks menu including the ingredients she need and each week she pulls out a menu, checks her pantry for what she needs. This sounds so convenient. Im always looking for a better way to do something. So Im first making a list of all the different things I cook and so far Ive come up with probably 6 menus. How wonderful does that sound ! ! ! After coming up with the inital menus no more menu planning for the most part. Im also going to try cooking up double meals so I can have some freezer meals when I get really busy. I think this will work great for next year's ball season. I still fall into the eating out too much during this time. Well, I suppose this is all thats going on in my world today. Hoping everyone has a very blessed weekend. |
