(Sound on) ...getting there #abcs • • • #alphabet #toddler #homeschool #momlife #earlyeducation #toddlermom

Every year, forever, I’ve made my kids’ Halloween costumes. They always have a well-thought, coordinated theme. I usually start around June, procrastinate a while in the middle, then panic in the last few weeks beforehand. This year I’m just starting now (mid-August), so I don’t believe there will be much time to procrastinate. I’m still making costumes for *all* of my kids (the two dogs included), and am again reminded that I am fortunate that my older kids are willing to do all kinds of silly things with their little brother. Things other kids may not be willing to do. So here we go with costume #1: zebra. • • • #costumes #costume #halloween #falliscoming #77days #countdown #kids #momlife #homemade #weboughtazoo #zebra

Last but not least, Ava. Ava starts middle school this year, and she decided she wanted to continue homeschooling for 6th, 7th and 8th. This year she’s focusing on: getting ready for high school in case she decides to go to public school, more independent learning, project-based assignments, and a higher level of math. She’s also adjusting her tennis training with her sister to focus on more fitness and to be ready to try out in three years for the team if she decides to go out for public school varsity tennis. • • • #middleschool #homeschool #momlife #homeschoolmom #momofthree #collegebound

Next Up, Alexis. Sophomore year, her 9th school year homeschooling. This year she’s focusing on: drivers education, CHSPE, electives, and SAT prep. She’s also adjusting her tennis training to focus on more fitness and strength training. • • • #highschool #homeschool #momlife #homeschoolmom #momofthree #collegebound

I’m super excited to start my little guy with some early, play-based education this year. It’s been so long since I did this with Ava, and since all my friends are posting back to school photos this week, he’s first up with his first day of 2 Year Preschool picture. I stocked up on floor puzzles, outdoor toys, manipulatives, and monthly theme-specific sensory and craft stuff to keep us busy. • • • #homeschool #toddler #babyschool #preschool #preschoolyear2 #momlife #mom #toddlermom #momofthree #homeschoolmom #firstdayofschool
