Whew.....School is in session!

Wow, the children are enrolled in K12 for school this year and it's been one crazy week. We have four computers set up in the house with one more on the way. This has to be the future of education as it is phenomenal! I'm amazed at the quality of the curriculum. Everyone seems to be getting the hang of all their classwork but they especially seem to enjoy the Powerspeak language classes. We attended a Park Day event last week and have a Teacher meeting this week. Some upcoming events include attending the local museum and the fair. Hopefully I'll have some photos to post from those events soon.

Hugs, Carla

First Day of School 2009

So summer has finally ended. It really does seem to have gone by quickly this year. We are back at school officially today although I think lots of our days provide learning experiences all year round. The children are enrolled in CAVA-California Virtual Academy and are doing most of their classwork online. It's been a great experience for us last year and we're looking forward to another interesting year. We traditionally make a first day of school photo-one with smiles and one with silly faces. I have these for every year that we've been in school. Of course, the little ones aren't in school yet but maybe next year.



Spaghetti Anyone?

The other evening I needed to get dinner in a hurry so we fell back on the old standby-SPAGHETTI! Andrew tried to use his fork but stated his preference of slurping down one noodle at a time. Thomas really enjoyed his spaghetti and was happy to share his exuberance with everyone.

The question is-did he eat it or wear it?
I love these messy faces!
