Field trips, and my stuff came...

A friend of mine and fellow home schooling mom has been going NUTS lately putting together field trips for the upcoming fall. I admire her enthusiasm and hopefully I will catch it, but I can't see much beyond next week, never mind next month! There's one going on that involves some corn mazes...those are a blast! The boys should love that. Our home school support group is going to an apple orchard next month, too, and I always look forward to those. Much as I hate to see summer end, I love autumn.
Our first week of prep work is going very well. The guys are pretty into doing their practice workbooks and even Littlest Boo has almost finished his tracing book! I will incorporate some unit studies into our field trips and put that into the notebooks we're going to start. That reminds me I need to get some of those clear plastic page protectors.... BUT! my goodies came yesterday! Well, some of them. But I've got some real cool highlighters and pens and stuff sitting here on my desk! Time to organize the actual home school supplies. Reading "The Organized Homeschooler" wouldn't hurt any, either....
