Addictions?

As most of you know, I am hopelessly addicted to genealogy…and blogging…and homeschool *stuff*.  I sometimes wish they had a drug rehab for my addictions…of course, then it wouldn’t be a drug rehab…it would be a genealogy rehab, or a blog rehab, or a homeschool stuff rehab.

Do I really need rehab or should I just allow my addictions to overtake me? I don’t believe genealogy can be bad, unless you begin to spend too much money and your family goes without food because you have no money left to buy groceries…ok, genealogy can get too addictive. Luckily, I’m not at that point. ;-) Now…my homeschool stuff addiction has gotten pretty bad in the past..especially before I found our current curriculum (Weaver Curriculum). Before, I would spend all sorts of time and money searching for what to do next…now I dont’ worry about it anymore. I just plan ahead using Weaver and everything works out great! :-)

Taking a genealogy vacation doesn’t count against me….does it?

Our Field Trip

We’re back!

We had a great time!  We went to the Falls of the Ohio where we learned about rocks, fish and fossils.  The kids were more interested in the fish than anything else…but they really enjoyed themselves.  Here is a picture of the kids as we were leaving.

The kids at the Falls of the Ohio

That’s the Ohio River behind them.  Right after this picture we were too hungry for our little peanut butter and jelly sandwiches so we decided instead to go to Golden Corral! 

We finally made it home after 1:00 and the kids did their math and a little creative writing in which they wrote all about their day.  The last thing they had to do was play a game with their vocab and spelling words.  We all had a great time with the game.

We had a very nice day!  :-)

Homeschool

As most of you are aware, we started a new curriculum a while back.  It’s called Weaver and it is working out wonderfully!  I didn’t get involved enough before because the curriculum simply didn’t call for it…this does and we’re loving it.  Not only that, we just started helping a friend by homeschooling her daughters during the day.  Today was our first day and we really enjoyed ourselves.  It went much quicker than I expected and we were finished early! 

Tomorrow I’m taking them on a field trip!  Stop back by tomorrow night to read about it and maybe see a few pictures!

We started with Weaver today….

So far it’s going ok.  The kids are doing math right now then we’ll break for lunch.  It was much more boring in the beginning than I expected.  I wasn’t fully prepared, that’s for sure!  As much time as I have put in to this, you’d think it would have went a little better.  I really need more help with figuring out the science and social studies….especially for my older ones. 

The kids loved their creative writing assignments.  Even my son, who hates to write anything.  His story was the most creative today (and quite funny!)

Any ideas?? Does anyone have any good links for printing for this first chapter of Volume 1?

Weaver Curriculum….help!!

I received all of our curriculum (many binders) and have been reading through it and trying to get everything ready…but I’m just more confused by it. I have used boxed curriculum, unit studies and even put together our own curriculum using whatever I had on hand and at the library…but this is confusing!

I’ve checked out the few websites I’ve been sent…but nothing seems to help.  If any other weaver moms out there could email me I’d appreciate a little help getting started!  Especially those using the Volume and the supplement.  My kids are 2nd/3rd grade, 7th grade and 9th grade.  Here are the Weaver books I have:

Volume 1

7-12 Supplement

High Way to English

Wisdom Words

Day By Day
