Just Keep Swimming

By

Brynne had her birthday party this past Friday night. We rented the city pool for the evening and she invited all of her friends and their families. We served popcorn with flavorings, cupcakes, and pink lemonade and the kids swam and swam and swam. (I actually got very few photos because I was busy talking with friends.)

Only one of these girls is also homeschooled, and there were several other
friends not in this photo. She is a poor, unsocialized little homeschooler,
isn't she??

Dawson and Taylar, with daddy in the background. As you
can see Dawson is gearing up to start harassing little kids.

Eli was his first victim. There were others.



After the swimming party she had her two best friends over to spend the night. They did as little girls do playing Beanie Boos and watching Barbie movies and staying up most of the night talking and giggling. I love how these two friends bring out the little girl in Brynne.


I've said it many times over the past week or so ... where in the world did the last 10 years go? In the blink of an eye she'll be 20.

This was the conclusion to her birthday celebrations. She had a great 10th birthday!

CTC Math {Schoolhouse Review}

By
We found our groove with math this year. I found a curriculum that both of the kids respond well to and seem to enjoy (as much as one can enjoy math). We have spent the whole year learning the ins and outs of multiplication and were just a few lessons away from being ready to move onto the next year-long level on division. And then an opportunity to review the 12 Month Family Plan from  CTC Math became available. To be honest, I wasn't very enthusiastic. I mean, why mess with the methods that have worked so well? When I was chosen to review the product I didn't go into it with the level of enthusiasm that it deserved. We have been using a dvd/workbook curriculum with great success. The 12 Month Family Plan from CTC Math is a web based curriculum. As we have not had a lot of luck with those types of programs, I went into this review with a negative attitude. And then my socks were knocked off by how great it is. In fact it is so great that we are going to continue to ...

Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt (Schoolhouse Review)

By
For the past several weeks we have been reviewing Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt and the Old Testament and Ancient Egypt Flashcards  from Veritas Press . As we were entering into our more easy-going summer schedule, and had just concluded a two-year Old Testament Bible course, I was happy to try out this product as it appeared to be something that Eli and Brynne could do together, alone, and would act as a review of the Old Testament presented in a different way. And I was right. Each Veritas Press Self-Paced History program includes 160 lessons teaching about 32 events in history. They are designed for children in grades 2-6, and it is recommended that the student be a minimum of 7 years of age at the time of the first lesson. What We Received We received a full one-year subscription, for one child, to the online Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt program and the accompanying Old Testament and Ancien...
