Kindergarten

It should be a magical time of playing in the garden right?  In some schools, classes it is.  But in most it is a glorified first grade.  I hope I make the right choice for Luke.  We have 2 choices right now.  A class in my school or Seaside Charter Academy.  A waldorf school that focuses on the inner child, outside, nature....testing last.  The only downside so far, is that we will have to pay for before and aftercare, fundraiser a, etc.   So it will not be the money saving year we were hoping for...but it may be worth it.

18 days

Zoo Lights, Christmas lights, Santa visit, cookie baking, shopping, Christmas Day, zoo day, park day, art, art, art...that is our vacation in a nutshell.

Simple

Although we had some ups and downs...this is my favorite Christmas in a long time.  It was a simple day full of joy.  Luke enjoyed his castles, blocks, coloring book, books, tent:). Nothing electronic or over the top.  Which was perfect, and simple.

It's finally here...

Almost here

4 days of school, 2 weekend days, and winter break.....whoop!!!!!

12 work days

And then Christmas break!!!!!! We got lots of rest over thanksgiving break.  And some online shopping too.  Unneeded in our current situation but, well couldn't help it.  Luke needs Christmas.  Sometimes he is so fragile and sometimes so fierce.  I love him so:)

I'm tired and a bit lonely as well...I miss the old us.
