We Begin Again ║ Hang Out with This Homeschool Mom of 8 │ School Week 1

Описание: We're back to school! This year, Thomas is in 10th grade, Asher is 8th, Judah is 7th, Justus is 5th, Eden is 3rd and Solomon is 1st. Our first day of school is Justus' birthday so we take the day off and make the new first day on the 22nd of September. We spend the first day talking over our plans for the year and getting the kids' school binders in order. We see an Orb Weaver spider and make a Nature Notebook page. Tom gets his new iPhone that day, which is exciting. On Monday, we do school work in the morning and, after lunch, we put together some of the wooden toy kits that we've received from several of our YouTube friends. Asher, Judah and Solomon then go out to help Papa Gary and then come home to spend the rest of the afternoon playing with Camden and Hadley since my sister, Ami, has come for a visit and to bring Justus birthday presents. (They were out of town and had to miss the birthday party.) We're having a laundry crisis this week; somehow Judah's chore has went awry, so we've had to change around our shirt color routine until we get things straightened out. After the first few busy days of school, we've got several tired, grumpy kids (and a tired grumpy mom!) We spend Tuesday afternoon resting. The kids also enjoy the beautiful fall weather riding bikes and catching butterflies in the yard. The new air conditioning compressor in the van went out again, so we had to take the van back into the repair shop. Thankfully, it's under warranty so it didn't cost anything for the repair. We have to take Tom's car to the library (and I take it shopping on my monthly Walmart trip which will be shown in a separate video.) After I get home from shopping, we pick the apples from our apple tree and get 162 pounds! Grandma Kitty took Solomon and Sophia to spend the afternoon with her while I went shopping. She took them to Walmart to pick out some new clothes, to Burger King and then back to her house to play. She brings them home while we're picking apples. Finally, Tom and I go get the van which is all fixed again.

We use ACE curriculum and always have since we began homeschooling Thomas when he was 3.
