Yep, I'm sick. I have Robert to thank this time. He got sick before Easter, and I really thought it skipped over me, but no such luck. I don't want to gross you out with the details, but let's just say that I had no idea that one person could produce this much gunk. I am seriously blowing my nose every ten minutes or less. I hope that the boys don't get it.
Besides that, we are doing fine. Robert is working, Harrison is finishing up kindergarten soon, and I am starting to plan next year. I have the most fun with this aspect of our schooling. It is hard to narrow down things, there are so many great options out there. If I bought everything I wanted we would, 1.) be in school from 9-5, and 2.) I would be broke. Thankfully my budget doesn't allow these things to happen. The nice thing is that for some subjects I will just have to buy the student workbooks for Charlie when it's time for him to start. Speaking of Charlie, we have decided to have him attend preschool one more year. I firmly believe that he is too young for kindergarten just yet.
As our school year winds down, I have been thinking a lot of our successes and failures. (Well, we haven't failed anything, that is probably the wrong word.) There are things that we could have done differently. I also think back to the beginning of our year and how I thought I was prepared and ready to go. I was, for the most part! Harrison surprised me in a lot of ways. We had our bad days where I thought, "what am I doing?" And we also had excellent days. The majority were good days. Homeschooling for us works right now. I don't know that it always will, but for now it suits us. Just looking at samples of his work from Sept. and now, blows me away. I am looking forward to next year, now if I could only narrow down my options. ;)
**this just in, I read the funniest book to the boys about teeth. Harrison has his first loose tooth and is quite nervous about it. Anyways, I highly recommend this book. It gets a lot of laughter, especially if you do all the different voices, like yours truly. :) The book is,
Open Wide, Tooth School Inside.

I am SO sorry you are sick again!
This has just been a rough winter and spring for sickness!!!
Thanks for the book recommendation.
Evan is approaching the losing teeth age and I can tell he's not quite sure how he feels about it yet :0)
Feel better, Jenny!!!
Matthew keeps saying that he can't wait until he's six (so he can lose a tooth and get some money to buy a new engine!)
I'm glad you had a good homeschooling year! Are you buying anything for Harrison's kindergarten teacher (you!)?
