What a wonderful summer it has been!
We took a couple of vacations to the beach (DE & OBX.) We've done some fun things around town, like Sky Zone, movies, and pool days. There's more we want to do, though! Water park and Kings Dominion are on the list.
Dance- we really didn't slow down in that department. Abigail decided that she wanted to take classes as well. So that put us at dance Mon-Thurs. Audrey had 12 classes + her solo rehearsal, Abby had 5, and Anne took 4. The only other activity we continued through the Summer months is piano.
It's nice that all the girls are in the same activity. They love to practice at home together, especially their handstands, walkovers, and cartwheels. They really love choreographing dances together. Every once in awhile I'll hear the piano start playing, and while they're more interested in teaching themselves Baby Shark and Despacito, they're still learning (and bonding!)
Other than that, we've enjoyed our days at home. We pretty much only do math review for school. They do lots of reading and writing on their own. They find plenty of things to fill their day, like playing with the neighbors and crafting.
I've been working on de-cluttering- an enormous job. There's literally not one single drawer/cabinet/closet that is organized in this house and it stresses me out. I started researching smaller homes with Atlantic Builders, but Chris- the smartest person I know- reminded me that it's not the house size; it's the amount of crap we have. Still- I love the idea of moving again simply for the fact that it would force me to go through every single item in our house and PURGE.
Now that it's August, I'm getting ready to go back to full-on school mode. It will be hard- because our relaxing, care-free days are coming to an end- but luckily we are still in charge of our time. LOVE home school :)
