The new school year is upon us. 2013-14 here we come.

In just 3 days we start back to school. Getting an early start this year so we can end the year early too. We always start out with lots of crafts, baking, and reading the first week. Trying to ease into things. This year I am including Summer much more than ever before. I think she's ready to start learning to read. I'm not going to call this her Kindergarten year bc she will only be 4 at the end of August, but I definitely think she's ready for all that K could bring her way. I'm hoping Luke will continue to take an interest in helping her learn. He has already taught her to read 2 books. :) I hope this will be our best year yet in homeschooling. I expect less fighting and whining about school. I'm going to take it slower. Maybe not do each subject each day this year. I think we may actually get more done by doing less. I'm going to be more positive! I'm looking forward to getting back into a routine with the kids. Here's to our last weekend of Summer break...
