I decided to try starting school a little differently than I have in the past. I like to start in late July or early August because it is too hot to do anything outside, and then we finish in early May. Since Zack and Michael have 2 weeks of theater camp, I decided to start with Nick by himself. That gives me a chance to get him started on his own and give him some extra attention. Many times he feels like he has to wait around on my to work with his younger brothers before he can get some time with me to go over his school work, so this is nice for both of us. It also gives me a chance to finish getting my school room organized before I get going with all of them. It is hard for me to believe Nicholas is starting 7th grade (and taller than me)! It feels like just last year we were working on Kindergarten.
Other upcoming events for our house - Zack and Michael will be in a play about pirates at the end of their camp. It will be fun to see what they have learned. Soccer season is coming up, so we will start practicing soon. In September I'm heading to Disney World with Nick, Zack, and my mom. We can't wait!
