Sum it up Saturday

Every Sunday night I'm at the kitchen table until midnight, or later (usually later)  planning the week, copying the pages from our teachers manuel, writing down lessons, gathering supplies and making various todo lists. I got distracted this past Sunday night - my 7 yo stepped on a picture frame in his room. Its a picture of a treasure map, he had taken it down to look at it, placed it on the step stool and then stood on the step stool so he could look at his leopard geckos   He told me that he was thankful he had socks on and that he jumped down as soon as he realized what he had done. I'm thankful that all the glass stayed IN the frame and that he wasn't hurt. what came of this - well im hoping he wont take the pictures off the walls from now on, or atleast wont step on them.  

Monday morning rolls around, and no lessons planned. Its beautiful outside so we spend most of the week out. Apart from math and spanish our lessons were on the go as I never did get to sit down and open the planner up. Mon and tues were spent cleaning up around the yard. Wednesday we took a trip to the zoo and the family vision library in st louis and Thursday we hung out for an hour with our homeschool group for field day, then off to see a musical, Joseph and the Technicolor coat st cedarhurst in mt vernon. We all enjoyed watching the play but were sad that we'd left field day early. I'm currently a stay at home mom, husband and I met 17 years ago and have been married for 11 yrs. We are a family of 6, kit is 10, eon is 7, si is 2 and jbug is 6 months. Our two oldest are Homeschooled using my fathers world countries and cultures, we also add in lapbooking and unit studies. We officially school 4 days a week. Just not always the same four days. Please join us for sum it up Saturdays by linking your blog post in the comments.
