Wow! Sounds like you have a busy but productive year ahead!!
I would love to hear a bit about how you schedule homeschooling multiple children at a time. If you have a previous post on this that you can find easily, will you please send me the link?
I'm most curious about your history (and some of your science). It looks like each of your kids is doing something different. How do you find the time each day?
I've put together Bible memory lists in previous years, and have one for the little ones, but for some reason I'm stuck this year for the older ones. Where did you get the memory lists for your older ones? Send me an email, message via Facebook, or something like that - when you get a chance, that is! It sounds like you're happily busy.
