Week 2 is DONE!

Week 2 of homeschooling is done. We started the week off with sitting at the bus stop to see all of the neighbor kids off to school. Austin also went out every morning to play soccer with his buddies.

What a recess! Monday afternoon was beautiful. After all our school work was done, we headed out and the kids played in the sprinkler with the neighbors that live across the street, that are also home schooled.

This week was a lot tougher for Abi than last week. She has been getting bored when it comes to reading. She managed to solve the problem on her own by reading her stories aloud while acting them out.

Or, she doodles and decorates the pictures.

Austin pretty much breezes through everything with no problems. One morning, I wanted to shower before we got started; Austin not only finished his grammar on his own, he read Abi's directions to her for her math, and began his math. Austin has mentioned that he misses 'the easy' work from school. That means that I am challenging him, right? Well, he has managed just fine...so, no worries about it just yet.

Austin has the same ability as Mark to make me laugh. He is always being silly! This time he found Mark's basketball pants...
Austin with style!!!
