Gearing up for a new school year....

We are "year round" homeschoolers....however, Summer months we are much lighter. After Labor Day (much later than a lot of Homschoolers) we start our new school year! Grade 2/3 blend for Zachary and Kindergarten for Molly! I am excited and I know they are looking forward to new and exciting things! In keeping with tradition, we always go to Chuck E Cheese the 1st week when the public schools are back in school...then we will hit the Bronx Zoo soon after that, before the field trips from Public schools start up...with the cooler weather coming...more park field trips are in store also!

Collage Friday and a Video

We have had a good week here in NY. The snow is melting and the signs of spring are everywhere! I am ready for the light coat and to put away my Uggs for the season. Zachary worked on the Women and Children of the Revolutionary War - and some fun Scholastic - Super Science! He is always working on his IPAD playing Scrabble, Words with Friends, Monopoly, Stack the States and Stack the Countries.

Little crafting for Spring

I seem to be in a crafting rutt lately so I needed to get my Spring crafting mojo going...I did something real simple that satisfied me for now... I turned this Goodwill frame $ 1.99 Into this...

I think it's cute and will find a home for it!
