Will They Go to "Regular" High School?

Before I talk about the one homeschool question that drives me nuts (well, there are many, but this week I have ONE), I have exciting news: Collage Friday is BACK!

Sharing about our homeschool week (or an aspect of our week) on Fridays has been a way for me to personally document the growth in my children - and often myself.

"Spring Cleaning", Concert Weekend, and an Important Announcement

 "Is this spring cleaning?", Grant asked me as we were moving furniture and boxes this week.  I replied, "Well...." and before I could get the words out he said, "It's like spring cleaning on steroids!".

My children have worked SO HARD over the past nine months and they deserve a break. 

And guess what?  This mom deserves a BREAK.
