Back to School: Homeschool Style!

We are getting back into our school routine this week!  We are going a little old school in our homeschool this year and going offline!  Previously, we were using online programs and now that Gamer is off meds, the computer holds far too many distractions.  Most of them are in the form of Minecraft and Club Penguin.  So, computers are off and pencils are out!  I'm also hoping this helps with handwriting.  Pixie is starting to write in cursive and doing great with it!  Gamer, not so much on the cursive yet, but he's a guy.

We're all excited today because our co-op starts classes in the morning!  I've been seeing everyone's first day of school pictures and I think I'll have to do a "first day" picture in the morning!  I'm also teaching this year at the co-op.  That should be fun!  Hubs told me when we first joined the co-op that I would end up teaching within the year.  I told him I didn't have any plans to teach and look at me.  Teaching during our second semester there!  I'm looking forward to it!

And adding to the chaos in our lives, Gamer decided that Labor Day was the perfect morning to break his arm!  He hasn't broken a bone for two years, I guess he figured he was due.  Small fracture, nothing too bad, but he will be in a cast for 6-8 weeks.  At least it was his left arm.  He's right handed, so he doesn't get out of school work!

I'm excited that I've been able to get a little sewing time in lately, I was part of the Henry Glass Desire to Inspire Challenge last month and also part of the Bundle Up Boys Blog Tour.  Here's a few shots of the kids in their new stuffs.

Gamer is ready to save the planet in his TARDIS robe!

I had so much fun with both projects!  And now I'm getting ready to start in on some new faerie garb for myself for Texarkana Renaissance Festival and the Texas Renaissance Festival.  

And now we're off to our First Lego League meeting!!!  Busy busy busy over here!  Have a great night!
