Last week was our World Fair for our homeschooling co-op. Our family researched and reported on Germany. The boys and I made potato pancakes and sourkraut to share with the other homeschool families. Also represented at the World Fair were China, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, France, and Haiti. We had a great time sharing information with each other about what we had learned, we got to try some very interesting foods and we learned alot about other cultures.

I'm Back
I feel like such a slacker! I have let the blog sit stagnant for WAY to long! It isn't that I have nothing exciting to say, it's that we have been so busy that I haven't had time to do any updating. We've been to the zoo, lots of boyscout outings, family get togethers, preparing for our school year, and 2 different summer camps! Hopefully now that we are back on a schedule (kind of) I can do better about keeping up with the blog.

School Projects
One advantage of homeschooling is all of the hands on learning fun you can have. Last week we studied about pottery and how it was made. The boys got to make their own clay pots (and I did too). A few days later we had a history lesson on the downfall of the Roman Empire and the Celtic warriors so the boys made their own Celtic war axes and capes and brooches. I guarentee you they can tell you anything you want to know about a Celtic warrior (and with excitement too).

Yippee
I finally have my camera back!! I am so happy! Those disposable cameras are horrible. I was so upset because only a few of our karate tournament pictures turned out. :( The boys did super at the tournament (especially considering it was their first one). Caleb got 3rd place in sparring, Ryan got 2nd place in forms, Matthew got a 1st place trophy (just because) and Chad got a 1st place trophy for forms and a 3rd place trophy for sparring. I was very proud of them all.
We have been really busy the past few months getting ready for school to start. I feel like I have neglected everything else around me. It's so hard to figure out which curriculum to go with because there are sooooo many to choose from! The boys are really excited because we will be starting Latin this year (we'll see how long that lasts). They are also excited because we have finished a room in our basement to use as a classroom. So I finally have my dining room back!
