So I know two posts in one day, but I had to share my good news! I made my way to Carpenters Son today and can I just say that it was very overwhelming at first. But God is so good! I was talking to someone I know that works there and she said that the homeschooling lady was there! She was so helpful! So I looked through some of the books they had and was very excited, but they just seemed, well...boring. So after I talked and asked a ton of questions I came home on a mission!

The first thing I read on one of the sites I was on changed my outlook! "No curriculum is perfect, so just choose one." Its trial and error. Im not going to find the perfect one. So I set out on a mission of reviewing as much of RainbowResouces.com to make a final decision.Im still not sure on science and history/geography and Im still looking. I have some chosen just in case though. But I am happy to report that I have made decisions on 5 of the subjects!! YAY!!

I am now on a mission for stuff for the twins. I may just use the preschool material I already have, but it will take alot of preparation because I will have to copy alot of it because there are 2 of them. Im afraid if I have to prepare to much of it that I wont get it done. I will probably use print-outs over the summer for all the kids and then start "official" curriculum in the fall.

It just occured to me tonight though that I will probably be upseting the twins. :( They have been so excited to go to "school" like Mason and wont get to experience it. I dont think it will ruin them, and they will adjust fine. It was just something that I hadn't thought of. Im trying to not let that get me down as I know they will love being at home and learning with Mason. They love to imitate him.

April,

I didn't realize until today that you had a blog. I am so sorry for not reading earlier. You must have thought I was so selfish.

Also, I, too, get overwhelmed about the homeschooling thing. I hear the first year is the toughest and there are good and bad days then. Keep your head up, though. I am convinced you and your hubby will do a great job. (And your boys are so fortunate to have you care so much about them.)

Oh, and I hope you got into the Clinton thing tonight. My hubby, as it turns out, is working security for her press conference.

:) See you Sunday.
