I can see it!!

I can see the finish line just around the corner... finally scheduled our EOG tests for next week. This week we (Shane and I) are getting ready for the Spectrum Fantastic Art Live Show in Kansas City, MO. So for school I have been a little relaxed in adding new things to our schedule, the boys have some review sites and worksheets that they are doing right now. I just want to make sure that they remember things that we did last summer. Since I still have tons to do for the art show, to help hubby out, I have them go onto sites that help them review everything. They are doing everything from some typing games to making flashcards for those things that I can't find sites for OR for personal favorites that they want to quiz themselves on. I personally use our EOG tests as a guideline of what we need to work on... the last couple of years it has been spelling and writing. So I am interested to see how they do this year.


I have something else to share.. Anthony was telling me about the Titanic the other day. Things about the boat that I remember talking with him about that first year of homeschooling. He was very interested in why boats sank that year, we went over a ton of them and found out all we could about different ships/boats. As he is talking I can hear Shane coming home from work and I feel like this is going to be my moment to shine.... cuz you know I need to know that they are actually listening to me right??? So before Shane comes inside I said, "Do you remember us talking about that? Wasn't that fun?"

Wait for it... "Mom, I learned that on Time4learning the other day." Then he continues to tell me everything he learned. So while I am happy that T4L is teaching him things I am wondering why oh why they don't remember us doing that together!!  HOPING that the thing special things that we are going to be doing this summer will be remembered as something they did WITH MOM!
