Spring Break is over :-(

so here i sit, counting down the minutes until the girls get home. you see, today was the first day back to school from spring break. we were lucky, the girls got an extra week home (so 3 weeks total). we had such a good time! i am constantly amazed at how well the kids play together. not that they don't get pissed or irritated at times but overall, they play great and actually like to spend time together. cool!

the girls have asked me several times in the last 3 weeks if i would homeschool them. i guess i always remembered homeschooled kids as the weird ones...the hermits...the ones with weird parents that didn't let them do anything with the outside world. plus, shane has always teased me and said "what will you do when it comes time to teach them algebra?" since algebra was not my strong subject he loves to bring it up. i hear now that homeschooling is not what it used to be, it is better. there is a huge part of me that would love to do it but would i give them everything they need? would i help them be successful? i don't know if it's something they really want to do or they were so overwhelmed with going back to school they just blurted it out. i guess it's something to think about and research a little.

other than that, we've gotten a weather break. we were in the 80's and hit 90 a couple of days last week. yesterday was super windy and today it's only 70. soooooo nice! we have been outside to enjoy!

other than that, it's back to the routine until summer break (may 27th i believe is our last day). i have some good activities planned for summer! of course plans are always subject to change but right now they look great on paper!
