The Larsons Decide to Homeschool and I get a Real Live Job

I got a small job at the neighbor’s watering their plants for a week while they are gone to Cancun. That and my new mathematics program will keep me busy. The new program is called Teaching Textbooks and it includes a textbook, CD-roms that are really cool because it has a teacher that explains everything that is in the textbook really well, correction CDs that also have a teacher that explains the problem to me, and a teacher’s guide. I already have done the first lesson. Today I accidentaly got up almost a HALF HOUR late! (tee hee) so I am going to try and get everything done quickly. Oh, I almost forgot the most important thing! Dad talked to the Larsons last night and they said that they were planning on homeschooling their twins David and Daniel. They will be using Sonlight Core 6 next year. I have almost finished that and will go on to Sonlight Core 7 (which is World History Part 2) next year! Christian will be using Sonlight Core 5, the same one that I used when we first started with homeschool.

A yard work weekend

On Saturday morning, Christian and I walked up to Ryan Harris’ house to help him a little bit with the pouring of his new sidewalk.  After that, we went home and spent most of the day spreading bark dust.  Christian was not really feeling to well; I think there is some kind of bug going around because Kelly felt the same way last week.  Progress continues on the house and it is really fun to watch.  In addition, the kids are making progress on their annual research reports.  I will mail them out or post them here as soon as they are finished.
