July 11th-17th

Highlights from this week include:

*Wrapping up our

"Despicable Me 2" week of learning fun

I have a couple of more activities to post,

but for now you can read about our week

by clicking HERE...

*Super Dad and I wasted spent a couple of hours

Thursday evening eating seafood

and watching the

WORLD PREMIER

of SyFy's

Sharknado

Yes-

we fell for the hype.

Yes-

I laughed my head off at the absurdity of the plot.

Yes-

my jaw dropped open at the 

ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS ending.

and

Yes-

we will watch Sharknado 2

whenever it hit the network.

*Welcomed home Jungle Girl after

she had been gone 

for a week to church camp

*Cerebrated Baby Girl's 

"official" 9th birthday

on the 14th

The day began with candle covered fruit (her fav food),

opening gifts and cards,

taking Mustache adorned cupcakes to her Sunday School class,

eating at our favorite Japanese buffet for lunch

(where our fav waitress gave Baby Girl her meal for free),

and just hunging out at home

the rest of the day as a family.

It was low-key and chill,

just like our Baby Girl...

*Entered our second week of homeschooling for the year

We are currently focused on the basics

and Summer Fun Science and Social Studies activities

until August.

Then we will begin a 

"mini-coop"

with a homeschooling family in the neighborhood,

which leads me to the next highlight of the week...

*Planning, planning, and more planning

for the 2013-2014

Homeschool Year

I am very excited about what we have decided to do

with the other family in the 'hood,

and I can't wait to share more,

once I get it all planned out.

It is my hope and prayer that working with this family 

will make me more dedicated to 

getting through our curriculum this year...

*Our neighbor and her daughter, Eep,

took my kiddos on a spontaneous field trip to

The Lost Sea

They had a BLAST,

and this trip has kick started their interest

onto the first unit we are going to complete this year in Science-

Rocks!

I love it when life works out that way...
