We just started up our school year, and things are going great! Although, we've been formally "schooling" for a whopping 7 days, so that may not be a huge accomplishment to most people. Getting through ONE day around here is an accomplishment, however, so I'm happy, happy, happy. That's not to say we don't enjoy our days, they're just FULL!
We're loving the new way we do things in our schooling. Classical education fits all of the kids really well, and it's definitely my preferred approach. At least, my preferred of the different approaches I've tried so far in our 6 years of homeschooling.
Wow....6 years (beginning our 7th!)??? How did that happen? It seems like Motormouth was just starting Kindergarten, and the Tweebs were crawling around the house causing mayhem everywhere they went. (Okay, so SOME things haven't changed!)
In the spirit of looking back, here are some pictures of our first year of homeschooling, and our pictures from the beginning of this year. We started homeschooling when Motormouth was in K and the Tweebs were one. This year Motormouth is in 6th grade, and the Tweebs are in 2nd! They've changed so much!

I really am looking forward to a great year ahead. We've got a lot of fun and learning in store for us this year! The kids (especially Thing 2) are all about finding new creatures to show me, so expect pictures of assorted frogs, snakes and other critters!
