We had our box day on Friday! It was so cute- my son starting unpacking the box and sorting them by genre, lol :-) Today is our first day of Bigger. We're so excited to dive into all those great books!! Saying prayers for a smooth first day! :D

We had an awesome first day!! Colton is excited about doing school today! :D This is the first time he's actually wanted to do more school work at the end of our day! I happily told him we'll have to wait until tomorrow. :D

Hooray for a super first day! :D I had to laugh at ds sorting the books into genres. Now that is something that would only happen with HOD students. They just know their stuff! :lol: I even hear my sons talking about genres for free reading fun...

Middle ds: "I really loved Tales from Dust River Gulch and More Tales from Dust River Gulch. What should I read next?"

Oldest ds: "Well, those are from the humor genre, so you'd probably enjoy..."

Or, "Mom, I really love biographies and adventures, so can you get me some of those for my birthday? They're my favorite genre EVER!" :lol:

Gotta love those moments as homeschool moms, don't we? Glad your Colton gave you a moment like that too with his genre sorting, and even more glad he gave you a happy memory of your start to BHFHG! :D :D :D

Julie,

That's so funny! I can picture Colton having that same conversation, lol!

We had another fun and successful day of Bigger today. :D One of the biggest blessings was following the outline you posted for getting ready for BHFHG. I just can't say what a difference it has made for us to have a place for everything, and everything in its place! Thank you again!!
Blessings,
Emily
