Graduation Party Prep Continues!

Grad party stuff threw up all over my living room!!! 

It was a whirlwind week getting ready for the big day, but it was all worth it.


Here are before photos of the venue. As soon as I can get the party pics edited, I'll post again. Everything turned out so well.

Spring Fever Outbreak!

Yikes friends! Spring fever has hit bad around here!

Anybody out there feeling it too???

What in the world causes this? Is it just the change in weather, with the sun peeking out and the trees waving their green leaves at us through the window?

Are we all just ready to get outside and breathe fresh air again?

Is this just a Midwest homeschool problem or is this an issue that spans all education models and geographical locations?

All I know is that this "fever" mixed with graduation party planning and a new driving permit and a new job and a vacation on the horizon has this homeschool house ready to hang up the backpacks and call it quits! Tee hee

Good thing we school year round so we get a lot of learning in :)

It's in these times that we have to do some life skills and unconventional learning to keep things moving along! Stay tuned to catch some glimpses of what that looks like for us.

For now, I'll leave you with some pics from our last co-op day when we dissected a fish and a frog. (Yep, still gross. I gagged all over again ya'll!)

Graduation #1 Party Prep Under Way

I cannot believe this time has arrived, but here we are! I'm deep in the midst of planning our first graduate's party!

The facility has been rented
Beautiful setting with plenty of space to play football! There will be fishing and his live band playing...his brother will DJ. Soda floats and smoked BBQ...a cookie bar! 

FUN!


Invitations have been designed and mailed



Decorations are being made and banners are finished


The college has been selected. We've already been to orientation.

I can't believe this is really happening.


It seems like just yesterday
