Back to (Home)School - First Day Jitters

In these past few weeks, I've actually had some jitters about starting back to school. Mostly, I felt as though I'd underplanned - not that I wasn't ready for the first day (I was) but that I didn't have everything done for the entire year. Silly, I know, and probably not the smartest, considering the one thing I've learned about homeschool planning is that the only sure thing about my plan is that it will change.

Regardless, the first day came and went - and actually went quite well. Logging our activities in Homeschool Tracker last night, it seemed like we'd done an incredible amount (and I only log Noah's info for now). Today, on the other hand, has not been so hot. I feel like I've accomplished nothing and have been terribly cranky in the process. Sigh. Tomorrow will be better . . . right???

On the bright side, I did get that Roasted Red Pepper Cannellini Bean Dip made yesterday, and Ava loves it so much that she ate three helpings of raw carrots, broccoli, cucumbers and celery at lunch. Yay for the little victories!

Here's Noah's first drawing from his Draw Cars book.
