My Boxes Came Today.... It's BOX DAY!

Post by RobinH118 » Fri Mar 26, 2010 11:47 pm

Well, I just noticed the time, so my Box Day was actually yesterday, but... :wink:

I just want to say that for the first time in a VERY long time, my kids & I are excited to do school on Monday! Our boxes came late this afternoon, and it was so much fun looking thru all the books! My hubby & parents kept asking, "where are the text books?" and I was trying to explain that there aren't any, really... :D

So here's the best part. My girls both wrote their names in ALL of their books! My one dd is in 4th grade, so she had her regular program books plus DITHOR books, too. So it was a bunch, and she signed them all! She HATES to write, too. They both wanted to do this. We had been in a virtual academy that was chartered by our state, so every year we had to send our books back. We didn't get to keep them. The girls were so thrilled that all these cool books were OURS TO KEEP! They just couldn't get over it.

Then, the 1st grader, who has shown NO interest in reading books on her own, takes off with the Early Reader's Bible and reads 42 pages by the evening!! The 5th grader was reading one of the science books all afternoon!

I think I'm gonna like this!! 8)

Ooooo....that's so fun! But you better hide those books so they don't read them yet! Save the books for when you get to them in the program. Sometimes you have to make predictions and such.

Robin - HOORAY - thanks for sharing your BOX DAY! :D I think that is so precious that your dd's wanted to sign their books. It is like receiving a wonderful home library. Our kiddos definitely read and reread and reread their favorites of the HOD books, usually all of them at one point or another. I'm so excited for you to begin! Give yourself a little time to ease into it though, as sometimes my first days aren't my best, but then look out - cuz after about 2-4 weeks we are loving life! :D :D :D

In Christ,

Robin,

I'm so excited that you have your books in hand. :D How fun for your kiddos to be able to write their names in THEIR books! We pray you'll enjoy reading each book as much as we have enjoyed reading them with our own kiddos. :D

Thanks for sharing your excitement! :D

Blessings,
Carrie
