Matthew and I went on a vacation for a week The girls stayed here at the house with Grandma and seemed to have a great time! We came home to lots of presents and goodies.
We started our Jesse Tree advent study; I tried to incorporate our goody making as much as possible. I'll put down our schedule at the end....
I'll be ordering our new curriculum (Heart of Dakota) and books/workbooks in the next couple of days... They are all so excited to start back. Apparently, four weeks off is way more than they need. And we still have at least one week, if not more to go!
I'm going to stagger their starting times to make it easier on myself. Jayden will start her reading program (Drawn Into The Heart of Reading) as soon as we get the new books in, then I'll start Grace after a couple of days on her 3Rs to catch her up even with her history/Bible/poetry, then after Grace's birthday I'll start Jayden on her curriculum and then the next week add in Julianna. I still haven't decided if we will be doing 4 or 5 day weeks. We'll see how it goes :)
