Done! (mostly)

/

I am happy to say that we are done with school work for the summer- well mostly.  The school district requires that I continue to show progress in the 3 R's until the end of the the school year. So, except for a short math lesson, a bit of reading, and some journal writing each morning- we're finished!

The girls and I have worked so hard to be done in time for Baby's arrival.  I am proud of the work that they have accomplished.  Each year gets easier. 

This year we studied the medieval period of history (my favorite!!), and we capped off our year-end learning with a visit to a local Renaissance Faire over the weekend.

The weather has turned, it is warm and sunny outside.  I am thankful to have more time for popsicle eating, lounging in the porch swing...and hopefully, very soon, some nibbling on baby toes!!!
