MONDAY IT IS!

Since Abby has been born, I have been avoiding Er I mean Delaying school.
At first I just didnt have it in me to even attempt it and then, I was waiting "till we got this, or that or this" .. so bascially avoiding.
Well, I decided to start on Monday.. I figured if I didnt make a set date, I just wouldnt do it.
Gabe and Kaleb are excited..
I will be tot schooling Kaleb this year. He CAN NOT be left to himself as he proved it last year. He often would preform his very own unsupervised science experiements ... such as seeing what happens when H2o is mixed with Peroxide... or how long does it take for an ENTIRE bottle of baby powder to get washed down the drain...
I decided to do fun things with him to start him along... things that he will not really know is "work" yet it is, and pave the way for him for when I DO homeschool him... and this way, he is not in trouble.
Puzzles, coloring, lacing, cutting... ect ect.
Gabriel is going to do Annas last years cirriculum... we shall see how that goes.. Anna was fine with skipping k5 and going on to first... but, I am not sure if Gabe will be ready, if not, we will pack it up and get him some work books and he will just go on like that till next year.
Anna is doing Second grade and NOT nearly as excited
I am using Rod and Staff and this year.. its not just phonics, math and reading.. this year, Science, health, geography, social studies, music and art are added... I dont think she realizes that she wont be doing ALL the subjects EVERYday.....
Anyways I will post pictures of our fist day.. it wont be Ideal, as we want to eventually move it downstairs but, for whatever reason, for over a year we have been trying to get the basement done but, to no Avail.
