1. We have two official bike-riders in our house. Matt worked with Courtney quite a bit last fall on riding her bike and now she's doing awesome! She can get started and stopped all by herself and does great. I am not even scared to watch her like I was with Megan! (That is probably because she ran into a stop sign at one point!)
I'm so glad we can get outside lately and practice our bike-riding skills! Especially around lunch time when there are NO cars going by our house!
2. Courtney finished her 2nd Sparks book of the year today. She has learned her last two verses for AWANA tomorrow night AND she is even ready to review her entire book! She can say the Old and New Testament books of the Bible plus Psalm 23:1-6. These were her biggest challenges this year and she says them flawlessly.
Megan also finished her 3rd grade book. It was quite a challenge in itself, but I am very proud that she is finishing it as AWANA is coming to an end. (Literally, they are not doing AWANA at our church next year.)
3. Note to self- never buy store brand dish detergent again. Ugh!
4. I should really just let Matt take over science lately! Monday he took apart an old phone we had so we could see the different parts, last night he spent time trying to explain to me how a refrigerator works, so I could then explain it to the girls this morning, and tomorrow, we are supposed to learn about engines! Seriously!
Next week our topics are diggers and tractors, trains, and planes!
In a couple of weeks, we are going to be on astronomy, now that sounds interesting!!
5. You know you plan on homeschooling again when you start buying next year's curriculum off of ebay in April!
