Its hard to believe that we just wrapped up the first 4 weeks of school for this year. It has absolutely flown by! And it has gone really well. That doesn't mean that every day is perfect, but we are having a great time learning together.
I'm also really happy with our new homeschool group that we've joined. Last year was a pretty lonely time for me with pretty much no support group at all, so when we moved I was determined to find a good homeschool group to become a part of. We now are participating in co-op classes each Friday afternoon and the kiddos are loving it. The Princess has art, a book club and a history class and Mr. B is taking early math and early reading classes with playtime in between.
Our group took a field trip to a local fire station this past week, too, and we all had so much fun!
Fort Smith Fire Station No. 1
Demonstrating *the suit*
coming out of *The Smoke House*
The Princess was so excited to blow the horn on the fire engine.
We also took a trip this month for some of my husband's speaking engagements and were able to take the kiddos on some other fun field trips (have I told you how much I love field trips?!) : the Colonel Sander's original cafe, Cumberland Falls and Mammoth Cave.
So, yes, September has been a busy month~and its not over yet. I've got a trip to our state fair and a regional apple festival on the calendar before everything is said and done:)
