June update

June is supposed to be our slowest month, but between band camp, soccer camp, Dad's day and birthday, Middle's birthday (tomorrow!), it hasn't seemed slow at all.

Math is continuing. Oldest complains frequently of doing school work over summer, but gave a beautiful explanation to some neighbors about why she and some of her friends are doing school work during the summer. Apparently understanding why only goes so far when it's time to do the work!

Lego started back up. We've only got a few weeks until the season begins. End of July is when the kits ship. Where does the time go? We've worked on making programs more fool-proof and on some advanced line-following programs. I'll have to do my homework before next week to stay ahead of them. The advanced programming isn't stuff we've done before, but they were eating it up.

Soccer starts back partially this week. Tryouts and some conditioning practices once a week until August. As much as I want my kids to do what they like and learn something, anything, at a high/intense level...man, does it suck the life out of you.

Still, we have until mid-August before everything is in full swing so I am trying to enjoy lazy days when we can get them.

School-wise, we still have some labs to finish up, hopefully next week. And I just realized today I never ordered a bunch of stuff for next year, like science and writing. I was hoping it would go on sale and it never did. No wonder school supplies seemed so cheap this year, I never ordered them!

I have been so brain dead, hopefully I am getting it out of the way now before I have a million things to keep track of. Or maybe I just work better under pressure?
