chris and i spent the wkend at conf. its our 4th yr on the board and yipeeeee chris got voted in for another 2....sigh....i LOVE going to conf, its just so tiring serving/putting it on. anyways. this yrs speaker was todd wilson, hes a hoot. and was by far the easiest speaker to work/deal with. he had no requests/demands and was super funny to talk with. i really enjoyed laughing and being encouraged to home school another yr. ha we are home educating through high school, with the exception of allowing the kids to graduate home school high school at home, then go 1 yr to grab an official hs diploma if they want to apply to a post secondary school that is not hs friendly.
anyways, conf feels "old" to me, im not a newbie anymore. i noticed a lot of babies and younger moms who attended. this is AWESOME for sure! i just made me fell old. ha.
i sat in all the sessions and 1 work shop, hit up vendor hall where i spent. 0. nadda, zippa, nola. nothing. i did spend 20 at the used curric and i have a book order on route from the states making my grand total for all homeschool books 400. not too bad for 3 kids, buying some new and a lot used!
i dont really have a plan for next yr. to be honest, im just winging it. it will all work out and everything will be fine.
my greatest desire is for life school to be relational first. making memories and working on that character building...mine first, then them. haha
anyways, shawn joined us...hahaha
we spent 2 nights at our friends cabin. first night we crashed and went to bed, the second night we had a fire, talked, relaxed and enjoyed kid free conversation! it was AWESOME. i was super stoked to sleep in and was dis made to wake up at 7:15!!!! what?!?!?! not fair! ha
we made it home for noon, and a HUGE THANK YOU MOM AND DAD for watching the girls! nate is in the states with his aunty and uncle, suffering at the great wolf lodge. ha he will be home wed night
i checked on my baby birds. they are getting so big! they are 3 days old in this pic ad there are 4 of them. joey wasnt touching them, she was pointing!

i got this bad boy! getting ready for high school transcripts! i was told this is the only book you need and i got it for 10 used, my biggest spend
