So I know this post is LONG overdue. I have had some, interesting weeks, along with my phone sd card going KAPUT! Yep, I lost all those glorious pictures, all the ones I was going to Blog about and show all the cool things we are doing in our HomeSchool. Oh bother! Needless to say I was a little upset and saddened by the whole mishap. So we had to kind of start over and get new pics and hopefully it won't make too much difference. Thanks to my brother (and his upgrade to an Iphone) I got an sd card and I can take pics now!
SO It is official SWEAT ACADEMY started schooling in August about the 10th of August nothing official but somewhere around there is when it all began. To say we LOVE IT would be an understatement! I have enjoyed so many things about this and have only threatened the Cheese Wagon a few times. (Little joke my mom use to tell my youngest bro if it was a... Hard homeschooling day, hehehehehe!). The thing I like BEST about it is the time we have together. I get to see my kids play with each other, play with toys, legos, furniture moving (which they are into now for some reason), computer games, movies, outside things. We get to BE together and it is AMAZING! The other day we were writing letters at the kitchen table and Hank came home for lunch. He stood over them and helped Peanut write a few letters, I about cried right there at the table. If I wasn't doing this they wouldn't get to have their Dad help them form letters or go on hikes. Our family is suppose to BE together not BE apart. On Sunday night we all took a drive up to Hanks families ground, we hiked and talked and picked sticks and tired to make a fire with two sticks. We saw some Bull Elk and we saw the beautiful leaves. We were late coming home but it didn't matter because no one had to get up for School the next morning. That's not to say we don't have a schedule, we do, because I like to be ME for a moment at night. But we have the FREEDOM to do more things with our new adventure! Homeschooling isn't for everyone, but is absolutely for US!
SWEAT ACADEMY 2012-2013 and it's dedicated students :)
Water beads! One of our first little experiments.
So tiny! But man did they grow. They are fun, squishy and cool!
