Monday was Labor Day. It rained early on, so Kiddo #4 threw a dance party. :-) The weather cleared up in enough time for the kids to catch a swim. We still had a BBQ even though it was getting dark. :-)
Tuesday was definitely a needed teacher's inservice day for this mom, as I had much to organize and get ready since were on vacation until just a few days ago. I thank Tracy from "A Slice of Smith Life" for her guest post on
"Try a New Recipe Tuesday" this week. Her Green Chocolate Smoothie looked good. There were also a lot of other recipes shared. Come check them out and link one up yourself, if you'd like. It will be open until Monday night.
Our first day of school was Wednesday. As I wrote about
here, we had a great first day, complete with an IHOP breakfast and some special first day photos.
We have eased into our subjects, and will add more in next week, as Kiddos 1 and 2 will start their online classes in Algebra II, Apologetics and English.
On Wednesday, I posted about our visit last week to the Cape May County Zoo. What a wonderful visit. We actually got to see a bison calf that was born only hours before stand for the first time. We were able to get some wonderful photos. You can see them all
here.
Kiddos 2, 3 and 4 started lessons with a new piano teacher on Thursday. She is extraordinarily gifted and has a wonderful personality and worked well with them. I look forward to the kiddos progressing under her tutelage. Also on Thursday, classes started at church. I am teaching 6th grade this year. Kiddo #3 is actually in my class, lol, and Kiddo #4 has an amazing teacher this year. I am so happy about it. Kiddos 1 and 2 are volunteers and were very busy delivering books, workbooks, etc. to every class and collecting attendance and other paperwork. I am proud of them! :-)
Also on Thursday, it was my first week to be co-host of the "Hearts for Home" blog hop! :-) You can see and join the party
here.
On Friday, after our schoolwork was completed, the kiddos painted some of the shells that we had bought from a store at the beach. It was a fun way to end our week!
Yay! We had a great first 3 days of school!
