OH YEAH!! Well we really don't do too much back to school shopping especially for school supplies. You know there is no reason to buy those things every year. We buy what we need, when we need it. But we are so excited for the first ever in this house art programs for the boys! Shane (aka artist hubby) has taught them since we started homeschooling. This year he is extremely busy and I didn't want them to go the whole year without having some art in their day. Found the  Home School Art Studio  on one of the sites I admin on and love what I saw of it so far. For Alex (aka high schooler) I found Artistic Pursuits Senior High Book 1 and loved the reviews I found of it online. My plan is to have them do at least two lessons a week, and then have the art teacher (aka dad) look them over. In hopes of getting more done this year I am setting up a schedule for us to do Spanish, geography and Art two to three times a week. At least then I will not stress out when i want them to do it every day but life gets in the way!

Just signed the boys up for music, writing, 4H, basketball (for Alex), skateboarding (for Anthony) classes which means we will be out a lot this year! That doesn't even include Alex's volunteering, new cooking class, nature classes, and so many more camps that I am having them do this year. I want them to have so much fun this year learning and playing that they forget they are learning!

I still, of course, have to find time with all of this to do the basics! BUT I did find out that my favorite spelling/vocabulary site just added a APP for the iphone/ ipods so at least I can have them do some spelling or vocabulary matching definition  games while we are driving!
