Spring Break Baby!!

We are gearing up for spring break around here. We don't have any big plans, just playing outside, reading lots of great books and being lazy. We'll most likely make more trips to the zoo and definitely do some park hopping. I'd also like to go on a few hikes. The weather isn't cooperating so far, hopefully by next week we'll have sunny skies. For now, it's rain and clouds. I'm not complaining though, it's been rather nice having a rainy March. However, we also have football and swim starting so some warmer temps would be good.

Kade is so excited for Jaxon to be home and luckily our spring break is 2 weeks long. He's been a little lonely homeschooling by himself. I'm not sure what we'll do next year. Either Jax will have to home school OR Kade will go back to school. Kade is doing very well with his school work. He finished reading Farmer Boy and is now reading Charlotte's Web. Together we finished The Wind In The Willows and are now reading Understood Betsy. He's still listening to The Merry Adventure's Of Robin Hood on CD during quiet time. As for math, he's doing awesome and is ready for Saxon's Level 3 (I actually should have purchased it rather than level 2, he's rather bored). He's a natural at grammar, though he claims to hate it.

We went to Jaxon's school last week and saw him perform in his play. He was quite silly but did great. He loved having all eyes on him...how he's my child I do.not.know. :)

The great books I've currently got my nose in are Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy and The Bible In 90 Days (though it's looking more like 180 days). I am also determined to set aside some time to learn how to use my new camera.

What are you all planning for spring break? I'd love to hear.

  2. We don't take a spring break. I know, it sounds bad! But, I give my boys a couple Fridays off instead. If we don't take a whole week we can finish up our school year the second week in May, just when its getting REALLY nice up here in the north.
