Mild November weather!

A trip to Clifton Beach November 3rd!

Happy Halloween!

Here is a cool edit I did of Kirsten for Halloween.

Given a choice......Homeschool!!!!!!

After deciding to give public school a try, Kirsten has decided it's going to be much more fun to homeschool and "do our own thing".

I am so thrilled that she made this decision all on her own.

In the 3 weeks that she was in public school I could see that her love for art had started to be undermined. She said, "I don't like art." ????? She has always loved art!

She didn't want me to read to her either.....????? Not normal for her at all.

Our 1st week and we are back into "our" swing and loving it!

I was actually nominated to the School Improvement Council. I was stoked for that. I really wanted a voice. However, even though I could still serve as a community member, children aren't allowed at the meetings.

Ahem.......

yeah, School Improvement at it's best.....excluding the kids huh?

August 21st 2009 to September 11 2009

1st day of Kindergarten

do what????

Yes,

after leaving a pretty darn good job so that we could homeschool and persue gymnastics and dance my girl has decided she wants to go to Kindergarten!

She is so excited!

I just really pray that she keeps that love for learning.

Maybe it will be a little different for her, knowing that she really doesn't have to go to school.

I didn't feel like it would be right for me to not let her experience this.

She would have felt like she was missing something which is exactly what I don't want for her.

I want her to enjoy life and learn a little everyday.

For now, we are taking things one day at a time.
