We're done with school, Yeah, Yeah!

That's our happy dance this weekend... We're done with school, yeah! Yeah! We're done with school Yeah! Yeah!

It was a great end of the year.

Monday: Grandma M was here and had some home time with the kids before leaving mid morning. We hit the books for a couple of hours. Jonah left for his last track and field meet.

Tues: Ron stayed with E and A, I took Jonah and Isaiah to the Dead Sea Scrolls Exhibit at the Public Museum. It was awesome mainly because it started with artifacts from the Greek period, including a mosaic of Alexander the Great, then went on to the Romans with actual coins from the first century and more pottery, including copper tools from Pompeii. Then we entered the display of Jewish and Early Christian people, again of the first and second centuries. I don't know that I've every seen artifacts that are so old. We've covered ancient history this year, so the boys were able to truly appreciate most of what they saw. Those periods of history have truly captured our imaginations this year so seeing the artifacts in person was so inspiring. Sorry, no pictures. Cameras were not allowed.

Weds: Homeschool track and field day. We all went (Daddy too) and participated with 300 other homeschoolers.

Thurs: Finished book work with E and I, J divided up the reading he had left and did about 30 pages, saving the last 30 for Friday. Then went to the track and field picnic for Jonah's team. The team played games and had fun, the other kids and I played in the sun on the park play equipment. I got my first minor sunburn of the year. :)

Fri: E and I had a dentist appt. J stayed home to finish his reading. We ended the day with movies and brownies and ice cream on my fancy plates.

Ahhh, it's a great deal of work, but so, so rewarding. To God be the Glory for another year!!


I'll try to post some pics soon!
