If it is not windy we might grill burgers for dinner. We still do school through the summer, but we generally do less academic and more outdoorsy stuff, like gardening and picnicking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-37422238199929053872012-05-22T19:31:35.230-04:002012-05-22T19:31:35.230-04:00Yay for one year down!!! :) It's good you don&...Yay for one year down!!! :) It's good you don't feel stressed... wasn't that the point of home schooling them!

I never did..), and I'm pretty much spent. I think I'm going to save that last 0.1% for the "Mooooommmmmm, I'm bored!" moments of summer. I don't predict much boredom. ;-)Kristi @The Potter's Hand Academyhttp://www.thepottershandacademy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-90198518330285395912012-05-22T01:41:23.013-04:002012-05-22T01:41:23.013-04:00Go you!

I understand, public teacher mind you, about the angry bulls. I thought I would vomit, multiple times, or be admitted into a hospital last Thursday when I was scheduled to turn in grades and check out. I'm still standing, but I would have much rather been calm, cool, and collected like yourself.Ashley Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15960809269667040621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-77183744248747108482012-05-21T20:33:18.174-04:002012-05-21T20:33:18.174-04:00Congratulations, Dwija!
