First day of school... we are underway!

Today officially began our 2009/10 school year.
I did so much planning ahead of time to help this day go smooth. One week of early rising, kids aware of their responsibilities, chores and "extras", clean house...okay, so that one didn't go over so well. I wanted a clean house, and after acting like a very bossy clean police for two whole days, I gave up and just decided to give it a rest. So, our house was partly clean this morning, but a more pleasant Mommy made for happy kids.
Two months of vacation did have it's good and bad's. The good was: Audrey responded better than I expected staring an official school year with Ambleside. Her maturity has improved and she did very well with her listening and narrations. Math, on the other hand was a challenge. Both girls just about forgot everything they learned last year. What a bummer.
But already, the highlights are: Latin, French and No Fear Shakespeare- Midsummer's Night's Dream. That will make for an enjoyable year :D !
