Can you believe that it is only October and Zach is already finished with his MUS Gamma book? Shay is finishing her Algebra 1 book Monday. She will continue in the honors book but by November she will be done also.
We started slowing down to Math 3 days a week over a month ago. But they still flew through the books. They are flying through the science books too. We decided to take November and December off and they will still be done with all of their stuff at the end of February!!
I did buy the next set of MUS books for them. Zach will start Delta in January and Shay will start Geometry than also. Until than they will do practice drill and Shay is in a math league. Its called Math Counts and they meet every Tuesday. So she will still have work to do during that time.
We are starting to work on making some warm clothes for our trip to North Carolina. We are going to spend Thanksgiving there. My in-laws own a home up there and they are leaving for vacation the first week of November. And we will be joining them the weekend before the holidays. I am so excited!! I haven't been up in the fall weather in sooo long. I am going to have sooo much fun!!! So are the kids. Steve wants to see if we can find a place to go snow tubing. I hope we can.
Okay, I know this started off as one thing and lead someplace else altogether.... That is how my brain is working lately.......
Back to the school thing. We are making warm pj's for the kids. That was part of their birthday gifts. They each got a tool box full of sewing tools and fabric to make some clothes. They just didn't know for what. So in our free time we will have more sewing time. And even though our mentor is leaving, I just noticed they are offering sewing classes at our church starting next week. That will work out perfectly.
See, if I don't schedule the time for classes, the sewing wont get done and neither will all the gifts I am working on.
I will also have baking classes during the off time but it will centered around Christmas baking. Zach & Shay are excited about this part too. More Zach than Shay. She helps me often with dinners now. But she really enjoys baking. As long as its not bread. Which she has mastered and is tired of making. Speaking of...I just told her to make the bread dough so it can rise. I got a dejected "K" for a response. But she will have fun when I tell her tomorrow we can make sweet roles out of some of the dough.
Well, I better run just in case she needs an extra set of hands. And I hear my book calling me. Have a wonderful weekend.

You sure have taken off in homeschooling!!! It is so cool to hear all about it! Wow, when did they start their math??? What diligent workers! Where in NC do you go? I miss NC (we were stationed there in Goldsboro).
We started July 26th. So its only been 2 1/2 months. We are going to Forest City. Its a nice little town 2 hours south west of Ashville. It will be nice to have down time and just play as a family.
It's nice to hear that things are going well! It sounds like your kids are really thriving, and turning into quite the seamstress'!
