OLVS

We got a 2 room 8 person tent yesterday. I can't wait to use it! I found it on Craigslist new and unopened for $80--saw it on ebay for $250, so Mitch went after it. Hopefully it will be cool enough on Sunday to pitch it in the backyard for a little staycation.

The big news is that I've decided to buy a kindergarten homeschool curriculum for Gabi. She doesn't turn 5 until the end of October and August 31st is the birthday cut off in Kansas, but she's more than ready and biting at the bit for more. We're going to be using a Catholic program, Our Lady of Victory School. I think we're both going to love it. I think the curriculum looks really good and is definitely Catholic. From Catholic phonetics, handwriting, and science books to Catholic art books (math is Saxon), the whole thing is heavy on Catholicism. Praying the Rosary daily and Stations of the Cross on Fridays are also part of the curriculum. I'll let you know how it goes! If she ends up too far ahead for kindergarten next year, Kansas law says she can go straight to 1st grade by virtue of completing kingergarten. I'm not concerned with that right now. We'll just try it out and see how it goes.
