At the funny farm school lately. Last year, we didn’t do much in the way of extra curricular activity, mainly because of all the unknowns surrounding A-queen’s surgery schedule. This year, knowing a little better what to expect, we decided to venture out some more and participate in outside activities. In the past, I’ve always said that it’s kinda hard to homeschool if we are never at HOME.
My girl, A-queen is taking a Kindermusik class for the first time. She’s always been pretty quiet, and sticking close by me. This has given her a chance to do something on her own, away from her posse of brothers. She is definitely loving it.
I tried and tried to get N-mouse to do something, but he just wouldn’t budge. He’s the type that wants to observe and know what he’s getting into before EVER trying ANYTHING. I guess that’s good in a way. Basketball is his thing, so he’s waiting for that.
G-man is the one who wants to do it all, and would if I let him. He’s doing a homeschool gymnastics class on Wednesday mornings and is finishing up his flag football season this weekend.
Coobie has taken up karate, and participates in a karate class at the local YWCA on Wednesday afternoons. He’s only been doing it for about 6 weeks or so, and has already received his orange belt. I’m so thankful that he is progressing and learning something new.
Those are just extra things we are doing this semester. It’s nice to be out of the house some, but it definitely has its disadvantages too.
Adding to the craziness is all of the wonderful products that are coming our way to review. I am participating in a marketing program with The Old Schoolhouse Magazine. It is a nine month project, with lots of great goodies coming our way. Just so far, I have received 11 products, valued at over $400. Some are online and many have been products coming in the mail. I’m looking forward to finishing up some reviews over the next week and getting them posted soon.
Next week is surgery week at our house, so another crazy week at the funny farm school!

The Old Schoolhouse Magazine Fall Promotion
“The Old Schoolhouse Magazine – The Magazine for Homeschool Families” Fall Promotion!
The Old Schoolhouse Magazine is a 200 page, full color quarterly publication that ministers to homeschoolers in our nation and abroad. I say “ministers” because every time I have opened one, I have felt ministered to. For families that are just starting out, to the veterans that have been on this journey for years, this magazine has something for everyone. And right now is THE time to get yours!
I wanted to tell you all about The Old Schoolhouse Magazine's Fall Special. You can get two years of the magazine, 6 fabulous physical gifts (no downloads!) worth over $120, plus the current issue of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine that is full of ideas for the new school year, so you start receiving your magazine in a flash!
It really is one of their best deals ever and you don't want to miss out. In fact, they've got a really cute Homeschooling with Heart tote bag (valued at $13.95) for the first 1000 to subscribe. A lot of them are gone, but you should still be able to get one if you hurry!(They will remove the info from the subscription page when the bags are all gone.) The total value is over $212, but you receive it all for only $39 - 50% off of cover price! Plus subscribers get their online monthly Teacher's Toolbox which focuses on a different topic each month, giving you words of encouragement, hands-on teaching ideas, book recommendations, field trip ideas, and a bonus download item.
