Just a week until school starts. The kids are having to go to bed a little earlier now then they could before. They are so picked on.

This week should be fairly easy for us as we have the clothes bought and the shoes ready. New socks (theirs had holes in them and while we bought them white they now belong in the darks pile) and a new experience. Patrick starts the middle school. I think I will push to home school him.

Ireland starts the 5th grade with a good teacher. I think I will try to home school her.

Liam starts 3rd grade with Sister Anderson. She will probably ask me to home school him.

Ben starts kindergarten this year and he is so excited and I think I want to home school him.

Shea is still only 2 but I think I will send her to school-She wants to be busy somewhere else. Just kidding. But she is learning her ABC's and her vowels. She also can count to 3 and count from 3 to 1 by herself.
