Well this happened today…

After 6 years of exclusively home schooling, my youngest 3 are starting a new chapter.  Two are off to public school for the first time and the little to preschool.  Why now?  These girls have been dying for the whole school experience, riding the bus, making new friends, following a schedule, packing a lunch…  Now that we have bought a house and are a little more settled it was just the right time to let them have that experience.  I’m so happy for them!

Little Vivian, I feared, would be bored to pieces without “her guys” to hang out with all day so I found a little preschool just for her.  She was so excited to go to school today. Although, she did not appreciate that she had to get there in the car.  Hopefully now she understands that school is at the end of the trip so tomorrow it will be less… loud.

So, where does that leave me?  With lots more time to blog for one 🙂  I’ve got my 8th grader still home with me but he is pretty self-sufficient compared to the others.  So, I’m really excited for what I can do with this new found bounty of time!
