Homeschool Schedule like Sonlight

I have created a new document, for the purpose of making my hectic life a little easier. I have always been drawn to the Sonlight Instructor's Guides, and I almost bought one just because I love the format! However, I like doing things my own way, so I tinkered around on excel to make a document that would fit my needs. Feel free to download it and alter it on your own computer as you need!

I haven't gone near this blog in so long. I am constantly on the go. Let's break it down:
Monday-Friday: Homeschooling
Tuesday- Gymnastics and Swimming
Thursday- Indoor Soccer and Swimming
Friday- Co-op (PE, Music, Geography)
Sunday- Church and Scouts
This is weekly. In addition, we have constant play dates and field trips. This week, we went roller skating. Sometimes, we head to the museum.
Our trip last week was lots of fun. We went to the Museumof Natural Sciences in Raleigh as well as a quick stop to the history museum next door.
Here is Aidan, showing you a turtle and the boys posing in front of a Hell Bender. Yes, a Hell Bender. How many times do you think they said "Hi, HELL Bender?" "Mom, it's a HELL Bender!" Any chance to say a "bad" word, it is ridiculous. :)
Aidan is learning how it would have felt to get water for the family in the first picture, while Preston looks on as a dinosaur consumes his brother.

In December, we celebrated Aidan's 7th Birthday with a Star Wars theme and on February 2nd, we celebrated Preston's 4th birthday with a "Blue Baby"/"Brown Baby" theme. Those are his precious monkeys who like to go everywhere with Preston.
Here is the R2D2 cake I made:

So, those are just some highlights of recent months.
