Last day of Kindergarten!



Yesterday was Claire's last day of her Explorers Class. We attend Natural Learning Alternative (NLA, it's a nature based preschool co-op) on Wednesdays from 10-1. From 10-12 the big kids (ages 5-8) are right next door doing fun things together for 2 of those hours and for the last hour they come over to NLA and we are all together outside. It's a homeschool enrichment class.



Next Tuesday is the last day for Claire's Lego Jrs Club class and that wraps up her enrichment classes she chose to do. She is really looking forward to Explorers Summer Day Camp in June for a few days. We will continue to meet up with friends every week. Lots of days at the lake to have some relief from the heat and humidity. Lots of exploring, reading, questions, playing and life. She is loving anything math related, dragon related, bike riding related, and just being outside. She literally tried to refuse dinner the other night because she didn't want to come inside. She was asking to eat but once I called her in she tried to tell me she wasn't hungry anymore.

Next week is also the last week of NLA for Kellyn with me. It's our home away from home on Wednesdays. We have another full year of our Wednesdays together until she can join big Sis at the Explorers class if she chooses. She's always so curious and asks so many amazing questions every day.

Our girls are learning so much, thriving, enjoying life and enjoying childhood. I'm proud of the little ladies they are. I'm looking forward to more of our homeschooling journey, learning things right along with them and sharing answers to things that I do know. (I don't know everything, shocking I know!) My life as a mother is so different than I envisioned even just 2 years ago. I pictured my girls in school and I hoped to be the Mom who helped out often in the classroom. I knew I would want to be extremely involved. I am this Mom but in such a different way. I get to experience so much with my girls and I wouldn't trade our time for anything.
