Back to School Links Galore! Collage Friday

We have successfully completed our first week back to school!   It never ceases to amaze me how much my children crave a routine!  

Our summer had been VERY relaxed, and this week it was back to getting up early (well, 7:30 for the kids and 6:00 for me) and accomplishing most everything by lunchtime.

Collage Friday is a way I document our weeks.  It is a record of what we have accomplished.  I encourage you to join me on this journey.  I use PicMonkey to create a collage each week.  It's easy!

Birthdays and More ~ Collage Friday

We'll be starting school Monday.

I've been a little slack this summer with the television viewing, playing with the iTouch, etc...  I made a promise to myself not to be too on top of the kids this summer.  They are getting older and can be more in charge of their time.

One evening I saw them bringing all of the blocks down from the schoolroom.   They proceeded to build castles and other structures for the Barrel of Monkeys.    Don't you just love old fashioned toys?

Collage Friday - Giving My Husband 100% of Myself

Food, wine, laughter, reading, relaxation.

When friends OFFER to keep your kids for your anniversary, take them up on it!  

We spent three days and two nights in the mountains on a lake.   It was heaven.

Sometimes we get caught up in our homeschool world and  forget about our partner in this life and why we love them so much. 

Now that I'm "integrated" back into our normal life,  I'd love to remember this vacation for a long time.
