FIAR ~ This week we read Wee Gillis
we had our FIAR meal on Wednesday. I didn't take any pictures because we had oatmeal and turkey sausage, a hearty scottish breakfast, for dinner and although it was good, oatmeal isn't that exciting! I used the grain recipe from Nourishing Traditions
which the kids all love, we even had it again the next morning. I put some add ins on the table so they could fix up the oatmeal however they liked.

Lessons ~ I had grand plans for summer things I wanted the kids to do, and yesterday morning I bagged the whole thing. I decided that even though the formal part of our day doesn't take that long, we all really need a break. I packed up books, workbooks, the whole kit and kaboodle. I am glad that I went to the homeschool conference in April, now I don't really have to think about anything for the summer. We have all of our stuff for fall. Of course I will do some tweaking and modifying, but that is the fun part!
Upcoming Plans ~ We really have had an awfully busy nine months. We need some down time to do a whole lot of nothing. Five more sessions of preschool, one more month of baseball and then we can really do nothing. So, what will we do?
some gardening....
annual trip to the beach.....
and a whole lot of reading poolside...

OH, he's totally Little Bill! LOL Actually cuter. Your summer sounds wonderful! Enjoy the time off.
I'm right there with ya sista on taking a summer off finally! We are looking forward to not thinking about school for a few months too. Enjoy!
Cari- I am anxious for everyone to get together soon too!
Gardenia-I am hoping for a good summer :)
Lynn-definitely Little Bill :)
Jill-we should come up with a list of field trips we want to do, figure out Cedar Point, and I wanted to talk about maybe borrowing one of the girls for some pool side help this summer.
I have our summer plans too. We are not "schooling" in a formal way, but preparing for our fall and our new baby and establishing a schedule. There is vacation bible school and a cub scout camp thrown in too! Perhaps we could get together. I'd love to meet your family. Andrew is so interested in all of your kids. He loves to look at the pictures!
Kim- working on a routine is always a good idea, we are doing that too - as soon as preschool is done. We would love to get together anytime!
I'm excited to find your blog, Jen! I'm adding it to my google reader.
Sarah - thank you! I have been enjoying yours, I love the Ruth Beechick stuff :)
