We're Done!!!!!! Summer Vacation is Here at Last!!

I know...I am slow with the blog this week LOL I kept thinking I would get my pictures of the stuff I am selling on ebay taken--and then I would only have to download my camera once *sigh* So now I play catch-up again!
Thursday was our LAST day of homeschool for the year! We made our deadline and finished everything that needed done at this moment. We still have a unit of Idaho state history and Stevie has a short 10-lesson Strategies for Success--but those are both easy! We finished our art, history and science (except for a bunch of experiments the kids are catching up with their dad--but that's fun!) I took a couple pictures of their OLS screen (online service) to show how they were DONE! It was a fun day--we spent almost the whole day doing art projects!





I did figure out how to keep Missy quiet while I was reading her art lessons outloud *grin*


After we finished the day, I surprised the kids and took them out for dinner to one of their FAVORITE restaurants (that I never go to because it is PRICEY!) They were THRILLED! They got the all-you-can-eat soup/salad/breadstick and kept our poor waiter very busy! Kimmy had a lot of fun making origami birds out of the big cloth napkins *sigh*





One last surprise for a great job on homeschool was that we ran to Gamestop and I let the kids each pick a new gameboy game! I told them I DID NOT WANT TO SEE THEM the next day and to play away! I am proud of how well they did on their homeschool and was very happy they obeyed me and let me have my OWN time!! I got stamp and read--and NOT DO HOMESCHOOL!!
