You...Thank you for the movie suggestion on Netflix! Your daughter's reading goal that she achieved is most impressive. I do not tend to do a Not-Back-To-School blog post however I do a behind the scenes series. We started our new school year in July. We are venturing out into the year round homeschooling world this year to see if we can take more chunks of time off throughout the school year.

We also love Netflix documentaries and enjoy watching them with the kids. They may be too young to understand everything but we all learn from watching. Whenever we see ones about the national parks or other sites in the U.S. we get dreaming about taking our homeschool on the road in a big RV...maybe in February when it's Heidi @ Home Schoolroomhttp://www.homeschoolroom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289903924787320738.post-43149151123293104622012-07-28T21:22:53.300-04:002012-07-28T21:22:53.300-04:00It took me a couple of minutes to figure out which...It took me a couple of minutes to figure out which kid Blue Spruce was. LOL Then duh! I finally figured it out.<br /><br />Sorry they weren't thrilled with box day. That is so weird to me because my kids go crazy over it. Mackenzie even hugs her new math book even though we all know she'll wind up crying about in a few months. lolStefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286011831882699289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289903924787320738.post-24433457221979164062012-07-28T18:17:52.733-04:002012-07-28T18:17:52.733-04:00We'll be catching up on some of the Olympics o...We'll be catching up on some of the Olympics online, but other than that...no tv for us!

We are watching "The Waltons" right now. We have the Ken Burns series on instant! Thanks for the thumbs up. I love the UPS truck too. YAY for Sugar Maple and her reading.

I have the same problem over here. Glad you could get it back off. Love box day! We won't really be having one this year, but we bought school supplies. I want to watch that nature show now too.Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714539087541911478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289903924787320738.post-39129675618223922752012-07-27T23:21:01.593-04:002012-07-27T23:21:01.593-04:00Happy box day!
