We're still here. Lately, I've had a mental block as far as blogging. I think I've been too involved in the reorganizing I'm trying to do here at home to be able to think about composing a post. There are several posts that have either been started or will be in the works soon.
1. Some resources for teaching Spanish and I will also list what I hope to use here at home this coming year.
2. Resilience in children and how that coincides with some aspects of a Charlotte Mason education.
3. I spent some time re-vamping the boys chore system. I have all the cards printed out now and need to finish setting it up for them to use. I will be doing some more training on chores too. That will be a post in itself.
4. We have a new system of Penalty Chores in place for misbehavior. It's working.
5. New TV rules. About a month ago we set some new rules on TV watching. I've seen positive changes from that as well.
6. A garden update. A favorite I know.
At least this gives you something to look forward to, right? I do have one favor to ask. If any of you have used a free file share website that you like, please let me know. When I post about say the Chore Card system I'm using, I'd like to be able to share my cards so others can use them if they wish. I've seen a few file sharing websites but I'd like some recommendations from others who've had success with a specific one.
In other news, we are pretty busy. Cleaning house, reorganizing school stuff, weeding the garden, play dates and getting our Homeschool Co-op stuff ready for next year keeps me very busy. I was hoping to relax a bit this summer, but I guess that's out. LOL We'll be throwing a kids baseball party in a couple of weeks too. I guess the season is serving it's purpose though. Fun for the kids, restructuring for the teacher.
Thanks so much and hope everyone is having a great summer!

The Bubble Wrap Dance
You've heard many times how children will make toys out of boxes and whatever they find lying around. Here I present to you, The Bubble Wrap Dance...
They found this bubble wrap outside my little greenhouse. I had ripped it off the windows and thrown it on the driveway right before I started mulching. (It was waayyy to hot in there!) They had a grand ole time with it.
