We
impatiently patiently waited on that special day to arrive.
Though it seemed to take ages, the delivery was prompt and complete.
The girls had been asking all summer about when we were going to start school. Getting our school material first was a definite requirement.When it came, I am certain you would have thought it to be Christmas morning, with all the excitement and paper flying through the air.
Why, one of the girls even had on their Christmas attire... it's a normal thing for my "
bunch" to be in dress up mode.
They are girly girls after all, through and through!
This was our first experience with "box day".
I love how Sonlighter's use the term so lovingly.
It really is a very, very, very delightful day indeed.
I always enjoy a visit from Fed Ex!
I also rather enjoy planning things. And so I started organizing things way before the boxes actually arrived. I still have tons of things I want to do for the school room. But for now, I am pretty happy with what we have accomplished.
As I began looking through the material and reading some of the books I realized this was going to be a productive, eventful, and very fun year! Optimistically speaking.
I also spent some time discovering how to use the teachers manuals and figuring out how to plan my daily schedules in a way that fits our family the best. I like the sound of that! Such flexibility is a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful thing! (I often say things in threes to get my point across... it works with my girls!)
Anyway, I am beyond thankful to Sonlight and all it's makers for putting together such a complete program for our first homeschooling year.
I've always wanted two Christmas's... And now I have it.
We give
Sonlight an:
