Decisions

      Well we have made some decisions around here lately. Two of them are major. We are definitely moving out of our current home and city. Staying in the same state for now but we all agreed we would like to move out of state eventually. Hubby wants Florida and the older girls and I would prefer South Carolina. Soooooo. We've got some time to figure all that out. The other major decision is that we are going to do school at home this year. I really can't call it homeschooling because it is online public school. The older girls both want to do school at home because they don't want to begin the school year at one school and change in the middle of the year and they really haven't liked it here since we moved here 3 years ago. Since my oldest will be in the 10th grade this year I am really worried that I will mess up her education if I don't go the virtual school route and since that is the way I am trying with her than I decided to give it a go for the other two as well. If we decide we don't like it they can go back to regular school when we move, and if they like it we will continue with it. Then maybe after I get some time under my belt with working with them at home and do a lot more research on homeschooling, attend some conferences and what not, then I can start to make some other curriculum choices on my own with some confidence.
     Our county fair is going on this week. We took the whole family to opening day. The oldest 2 girls were taught a sampling of weaving rugs. The lady that was showing them was so sweet to do that and they just thought it was the coolest thing. They told her they knew how to knit and she told them that was to hard and she couldn't do that. They got a big kick out of that. Of course the teenager is going to the fair again today and tomorrow to hang out with friends. I remember being a teenager and the county fair. It was always such a huge deal to go every day. I see not that much has changed.
      I have finally been able to harvest some stuff form the garden. A few cherry tomatoes that, lets face it didn't even make it into the house they were so yummy, 1 cubanelle pepper, and some collards. Not much but it's more than last year. Well until next time God bless.
