In my life this week…
Halloween was fun, but so busy. Halloween being on Monday really threw a wrench in our school week though. Oh well, go with the flow.
In our homeschool this week…
This week is just another shortened week due to Halloween. My older daughter is participating in NaNoWriMo this year, so she has been writing furiously. She worked through the workbook before and had her characters all planned and an outline of her novel ready to go.
Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…
We are all about Nutcracker rehearsals these days. A large chunk of our weekends are being spent in ballet rehearsal. The girls love ballet and I love that they love it. But as we get closer to Nutcracker season, the rehearsals start coming fast and furious. One plus, I have lots of reading time.
My favorite thing this week was…
Well, it was technically last week, but I really loved Milwaukee Ballet's Dracula on Saturday night.
Things I’m working on…
I'm working on giving myself a break. I am trying to give up some of the pressure I put on myself to be constantly "caught up" on all the grading and planning for our homeschool. The planning is pretty much done for this year, but the grading is never-ending.
I’m reading…
Bunheads by Sophie Flack and Stasiland by Anna Funder. I just finished The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman and I really liked that one.
I’m cooking…
ha! As if. (My husband does most of the cooking around here.)
I’m grateful for…
my husband - for being such a kid and loving Halloween as much as the kids. Also, he indulges me when it comes to books and technology. Gotta love that.
