Spring is here at last, well at least I hope it is. Our seasons seem to have gotten a little confusing over the last few years. Many will argue that it is because of global warming. I am not going to start on that now, just hope that we will have at least a few weeks of spring before the blistering hear of summer overtakes us.
I love this time of the year, it is probably my favorite. Everything seems new and alive. Christmas seems to bring out the best in people - genoristy, kindness, and love. Spring is probably the next best time of year for these emotions.
Another fun thing about spring is planning for the coming school year. Yes, I know that many people wait until mid or even late summer for this. I love to plan though, and shop of course. There are so many choices out there, this has been my hardest time yet in choosing.
We contemplated sending Austin to a semi-private school for homeschoolers. Wow, that sounds complicated. It really seems like a great option, however we have decided to wait at least one more year. This has been our best year of homeschooling, in terms of learning and growing. Both boys have done so well that we feel it is best not to change anything at the moment.
So, I am in the process of completing my shopping list and searching for the best deals. Then I will likely spend a good part of the summer poring over my selections and planning our schedules. The other parts of summer will be spent; working, going to the waterpark, football practice (Austin), and playing.
As the boys are getting older, I am realizing that I need to really cherish these times. They will be over all too soon.
