We started school on Monday and have pretty much been on the go every since. <br />
<br />
We also signed up with a charter school, <a href="http://www.sscs.cc/">South Sutter</a>, this year. We are very happy with our choice. Once I look at all the vendors who provide a service, the kids will be able to take music lessons as well as a physical activity of their choice. My days might just become non-existant in the near future. <br />
<br />
In order to stay somewhat organized and have a clean house, we have made ourselves a chore chart...<br />

Hanging out at a local park playing games and <a href="http://www.geocaching.com/guide/default.aspx">geocaching</a>. After a little hunting, and trying to figure out the clues, one of the kids finally found the 'treasure'. One clue was a smelly scent from a tree... which wasn't a nice scent as some found out.<br />

I think that we need to, so that way the kids can feel like all the other kids. In a sense, they feel lost because they can't tell someone where they go when asked. Their only reply is "We are homeschooled". I know that it's not a bad thing, but I want them to have a sense of belonging to something.<br />
<br />
So, that brings up the thought of a name for our little one-room schoolhouse. I am in need of some ideas, and the kids are having a hard time with it. For now, the name of our school is 'Stamps Meadow Academy'N & Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01909996851514759923noreply@blogger.com0
