Just ordered for next year!!!!

Post by Momma6pack » Thu Apr 07, 2011 4:16 pm

I'm so excited! I just placed my order for next year (CTC) and I can't wait for Box day!

Next year we'll be doing (and yes, I may be insane here....): LHTH with dd 5 and dd 4 and ds 2 (well....mostly he'll be running around but you know....), Beyond (1/2 pace) with ds 6, Bigger with dd 8 and CTC with dd 10. 4 guides....I'm a little afraid....but still really excited!

Just wanted to share my joy!
Blessings,

Good for you! We're doing Bigger, LHFHG (at my daughter's awkward pace) and LH2H when my 3 year old is willing. They're all great programs as you will soon find out.

Have fun on box day!

We are doing LHFHG, Bigger, and CTC and loving all 3! We finish them all by lunch each day and do DITHOR (and a foreign language) with my older two afterwards. Be sure to allow yourself time to get things going and don't get discouraged if it takes a few weeks. It will be so worth it! You could stagger start your kiddos in the guides which is what I did and it worked very well. I got one child started one week then added another each week. I think you and your children will have a blast! :D
Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing it is from the Lord you will receive the reward of inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.

How exciting! I just love when I get everything figured out and the order placed...and wait for BOX day. May the Lord grant you His wisdom and peace as you implement all the guides... and, may He help your kiddos have an attitude of cooperation and patience as everything gets worked out!

I just placed my order too! This is especially exciting because I have never homeschooled before so this will be my first box of materials. Can't wait!!!!! I am catching everyone's excitement over springtime orders. I never remember being this excited about school before :D

I'm excited that you are excited! :D We do 4 programs now with our kiddos, albeit with Bigger Hearts at half-speed right now, but the wonderful part with your mix is that if you need to back down to 3 programs you'll have a good back-up plan with the combo. of guides you have. You could always do Beyond with the 6 and 8 year old as the core program and add on the right side of Bigger Hearts to raise the level of the 3R's for your 8 year old. :D

Blessings,
Carrie
