gasp!

yes, i'm blogging.  weird, i know.

christmas is coming!  i'm UBER excited.  i still believe in santa claus.  most def. 

something exciting happened this evening that got me blogging. 

i got to start thinking about ordering new books for this semester!  i'll probably be able to order the week after next...and here are the books i'm going to be purchasing:

for beau:
1 - math-u-see: alpha
2 - theory time: primer level
3 - discipleland: level one
4 - note reading for very young piano students (he MIGHT be a SMIDGE too old for this one, but we're going to give it a shot, and after all, i've got other children...)

for xander:
1 - HWT: letters and numbers for me
2 - math-u-see: primer workbook

for bella:
1 - HWT: get set for school

i MAY start bella in the math-u-see primer book this semester, too, but i really don't know.  i'm thinking i'm just going to buy her a kindergarten workbook when she finishes the preschool one and see how that goes for a while.  as for xander, i'm going to get a supplemental kindergarten workbook for him to work through this spring.  he'll be starting first grade this summer, more than likely.

i also want to start beau with a spanish curriculum i found...and it won't hurt the others to be exposed to it.

i'm starting to get excited again.  for the past month and a half, we've all been kind of sick of school, and totally avoiding doing worksheets at all costs.  or maybe it's just me.  but i feel like this break has done us (read: me) tons of good and we'll be ready to start back after the new year.
