After our busy summer, we got settled back down today and started off our new school year.  We have 8th, 5th, 3rd, preK and Elijah somewhere in that mix.  It will probably take a week or two to get things smoothed out to where we feel like we’re in a good routine again, but today went fairly well.  Michaela is doing a lot more independently this year so that is a huge help to me.  As each of the kids has a few free minutes here and there I’ll have them play with Ami for a few minutes.  I also put together several Preschool Activity Bags (some ideas here) that I hope will be helpful to keep Ami occupied.  Our core curriculum is from My Father’s World (currently 1850 to Modern Times).  We have lots of extras thrown in this year (Japanese, Chinese, band, soccer, basketball, Tae Kwon Do, choir, and much more!).  I think the kids’ favorite part of the day was going out for lunch at Taco Bell to celebrate the first day of school; just a fun perk to homeschooling.

Yes, that is Benjamin resisting being squished in the middle!  Here’s a better picture of him today with his most recent catch.

Man, I love those big blue eyes!
