ay has been (and continues to be) a very busy month for us. Homeschooling reviews, Co-op meetings to plan next year, End of Year Program for our Co-op, my twin nieces’ First Holy Communions, and three graduations…Michael got his MBA from Loyola with a 3.98 GPA and my nephew, Chase, and Sean’s girlfriend, Samone, are graduating high school. This Saturday, Sean is taking Samone to her senior prom. Sean never went to his own so I get a second chance to see him all dressed up. As I said…busy. *smile*

Most homeschooling families that we know homeschool only during the school year, however, we homeschool all year long. We take breaks at the beginning of each season change and do special seasonal projects during the holidays. It’s not for every family but it seems to work well for us.

And it must be Spring…the twins fell overboard yesterday, came in the house soaking wet, head to toe. Well, actually, Connor jumped into a friend’s boat, causing it to capsize, over went two of the boys that were sitting in it too and then Cade just decided to jump in because well, my boys don’t mind cold love the water, swim like fish and he didn’t want to miss out on any of the fun that Connor was having. The start of swimming season seems to get earlier and earlier each year. They are grounded though (because it’s a little too early) so I hope their dip was worth it. *smile*

We are year round too! So much easier, I always tell everyone that your pace is sooooo much less hurried if you year round it. Plus, you get to just live life and learn as you go.
LOVE the list of nature activities… thanks hon! {{{{HUGS}}}}

Thank you so much for your kind comment. It’s a great feeling to hear from others who have been in my shoes and have gone on to overcome and be happy once again. Glad I was able to write something that touched you.
We also homeschool year round. It gives us the opportunity to take every Monday off, plus all of December. And learning isn’t something that should be shut off and on anyway, right :)?!
Best to you.
