And away we go!....Well, not quite yet.

It was always my intention to begin school as late as possible this year but my overzealous children had other plans. They were up bright and early on Monday morning Aug 30th and sat waiting at the kitchen table. Who are these children?!? Unfortunately for them, I had a final bible study class scheduled that morning and had to leave. Didn't deter them in the least, they were waiting (not patiently I may add) and ready to begin at 2:00 in the afternoon. I still didn't have my act together. Schedules were not made, books not picked up at the library and my laptop charger had died 2 night before hand. Great! Well, Next best thing! We dumped the 4 bags full of school supplies on the kitchen table and divided them up. Passed out the Teaching Textbooks math, Apologia science, Tapestry of Grace (history,geography and literature) and a sprinkling of other grammar and spelling books . We then talked about what our year will look like, traveling through Central America and learning a new language. I ask them to pick the one thing that they were interested in the most and write it down. They would then learn as much as they could about it, along with other subjects and then be ready to present or teach it to their siblings at the end of the year. In the next two weeks we will be picking out a place to call home in Costa Rica. In the next two weeks Tony's job will officially end. In the next two weeks I will be watching and waiting for God to do amazing things!
More to come...
