ready set go...

So...school starts in two weeks~ are we ready? Well I am for sure. I can hardly wait to get into a routine and see us accomplish our days goals. The children could probably wait for another 6 weeks or so [except Bailey-Grace who is very eager] She said today after working on Math for about a half hour that she just has this [speaking of Math] "filled up in her brain". Spoken like a true 7 year old Mathematician. We will begin something very new to us :a full Unit Study program for Wesley and Shelby-Lauren[Blessed is the Man & Far Above Rubies ]and FUNSCHOOLING UNIT STUDIES FOR Bailey-Grace... fun fun! The neat thing about our first day of school is that we will start in Panama City. We will be on the road with Bill and our first day [and week] will be in a hotel lobby. This may sound challenging and while it can be at first we thoroughly enjoy it. For one thing it frees us up from having to incorporate household chores into our already busy schedule, it also allows us to see the sights of the places where Bill is working and most of all it keeps our family together during the week so that we are able to have Bill involved in our lives & us in his. And when you add a walk on the beach to our P.E. time or a free continental breakfast to an already stretched budget ~ everyone is happy. We had to work out the kinks of traveling on a dime and we are probably going to continue to learn ways to save as we do it this year but we are well on our way. We just bring or shop for the groceries we need to make lunch and dinner in the hotel and this keeps us from going out to eat in restaurants. Bill has to eat on the road as he travels to see customers but we are together in the evening. It is neat to see the kids learn to make budget friendly choices that we are able to fix in the room.
