Still Here... just busy!

Well, it has been a month since I last posted... I figured I better add a note.

We have officially started school in our home for the year... but do homeschool families ever really stop schooling? With a Kindergartner and 1st Grader this year, I am multi-tasking a lot more than last year. DD2 isn't as willing to sit still as DD1 was at her age and requires A LOT of focused attention.

Our school room will need to be rearranging again this year - we keep accumulating teaching tools and need to find places to put them. The local school district is having another auction on Thursday and my DH is threatening to hid the checkbook. At the last school auction, I bought an entire school room (desk, tables, bookshelves, etc) for $15.00. To get anything in the room, you had to take the WHOLE room. The problem is... what do you do with all the things that won't fit into your house? Thankfully, in that instance, I found someone at the auction who was trying to stock a new church school who was willing to take everything I didn't want.

Off to teach... We will see what happens on Thursday!
