The Homeschool Mother’s Journal ~ Entry #9

The Homeschool Chick

In my life this week…

We welcomed a new puppy into our home…and she has kept us pretty busy :)  We also resumed school {after a very relaxing spring break at home last week}…and I got a Kindle! 

In our homeschool this week…

We kept ourselves busy with writing, reading, math, spelling, history …:). Only 9 weeks left ‘til summer break!

Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…

This week seemed full of things to do and people to see.  Sunday we picked up our new puppy from her foster home.  Monday we had small group at our home.  Tuesday and Friday ds9 had baseball practice.  Wednesday ds9 & dd7 went to art class and that evening we all went to Truth Squad.  Whew…I am so ready for the stay-at-home weekend that we have planned :)

My favorite thing this week was…

Getting to know our new little puppy…we named her Daisy.  And watching my kiddos get to know her too.  Ds9 and ds4 were very wary of welcoming a dog into our home at first, but they have both come around very quickly :)

What’s working/not working for us…

I think my new Kindle will definitely work for us.  I took it along to baseball practice on Friday evening and read from it to ds4 and dd7 while we waited in the van {it was way too cold to play outside while ds9 practiced :)}. 

The best part was that it was completely unplanned.  I took it along to play around with it and when I was finished I found a couple books that I had loaded into it that I have always wanted to read to them…so I did :). 

Homeschool questions/thoughts I have…

Where oh where is my Sonlight catalog?  I have been hearing about others receiving theirs…I guess it’s time to start stalking my mailbox :)

A photo to share…

At first, ds9 was not excited about adding a puppy to our family…as you can see, he has since changed his mind :)

Nice blog. I am hoping to receive a Kindle for my birthday in May. I like the idea of free old books. I did receive a Sonlight catalog just today, so maybe yours will be there soon. And that little puppy is sweet sweet sweet! Have a blessed Sabbath.

Oh man, puppies are so fun! They are definitely a lot of work and take some getting used to, though. The puppy is cute!

I've always wondered what the big draw to the Kindle and other readers are. I mean, I love books; the actual books you know? But it sounds like you have access readily available to books of all sorts, is that right? So instead of reminding yourself to buy books or borrow them from the library, you can get them when the moment strikes.
