This week in my life...
This week has been busy, busy, busy! Hubby has been on vacation and we have celebrated Christmas 4 times this week! First was Christmas Eve with just our immediate family. We went to Christmas Eve service at our church. It was wonderful. Then we came home, had dinner and settled down to watch the new version of Miracle on 34th Street with our children. On Christmas day, we went to my family's home for dinner. My brother, wife and two girls were unable to be there because they were in Florida, but my aunt, uncle, cousins and their families were there. It had been over a year since I had seen them. It was a very enjoyable day. Then the day after Christmas, we went to my husband's family home. His brothers were not there, but my mom and dad joined us there along with my husband's step dad's mother. It was good to see her again. All of the family that we hadn't seen for awhile, barely recognized PC because he has changed so much. lol!!! Then on Thursday, we were back at my mom and dad's to celebrate Christmas again with my brother and his family. We plan to go to my brother's home on New Year's day. It has been an enjoyable week, but pretty tiring.
In my homeschool...
We did not school this week. PC got a portable dvd player for Christmas and has been watching some documentaries on it. Little One has been on break all week. I have started making LO some copywork pages for him to work on when school resumes the beginning of January. Some goals I have are: get PC caught up in math; (we are lagging behind there!) do more copywork with LO; (He really needs the writing practice) continue to work on gardening with both of the boys especially LO; work on Presidents, countries, and states with LO; work harder with PC on biology (which he hates, but I would like him to know the basics).
What I'm reading...
I haven't gotten any reading done this week. Just too busy! I plan to get back to reading after Hubby returns to work.
In my garden...
I haven't gotten anything done in the garden this week except saving my coffee grounds for the compost.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!!! To see more Homeschool Mother's Journals, check out The Homeschool Chick.
Very nice Christmas! :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, sounds like a busy, but fun Christmas. It's funny how busy we can get when we are on Christmas break. I'm sort of looking forward to school starting up again just for the break of busyness. :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your homeschool is in for some good old-fashioned work! :-)

Sounds like you had a lovely christmas :) We didn't get any school done this week either and I'm going to take a few more days for myself so I can figure out exactly what needs to be finished and tweaked so things go smoother *grin*. Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteThe title of your blog caught my attention since we are basically eclectic,unschooling homeschoolers. Anyway, sounds like you and your family have been rather busy. I am sure your kids are ready to get back to schooling. HA HA We have already started.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I pick up free coffee grounds from Books-A-Million. They put packaged bags in a basket for customers to take. If you have one near you, you might check to see if they offer their grounds.
Joyfully,
