K5 registration & supply shopping

Well July 13,2015 we went and registered Avery for kindergarten. Still unsure and nervous about making a decision If we were going to send her to school or homeschool. I went to get a feel for the school and  see what it would be like. I filled out the paper work nervous and scared to send my baby to a school were I knew nobody. I still had a uneasy filling when we left. But they had the 10 commandments and In God we Trust in frames in the cafeteria where registration was being held. I talked to the principal who was really nice and to some PTO members that were there Who were also nice. Still uneasy feeling though. This is my baby and it's hard for me to send her off. They do have these cool firetruck and train at the school and Avery wanted her pic by them. And I took a pic of the new sign that they just put up the week before. left there still praying and thinking back and forth about everything. Here are some pics:

 With lots and lots of thoughts,prayers,and talking it out , we decided to send our girl to school. As I was praying in the van one day riding down the road something came on the radio like they were talking right to me. The lady said something in the lines of why do we worry so much about our children, if we give it all to God including our children then everything will be ok. We can not hid them under a rock and shelter them from everything we just pray and believe that God has them in his hands. BOOM. It was like it hit me right in my face. I had so much anxiety and fear about her going to school. What are they going to teach my baby , I don't want her learning bad habits or anything else. I wanted to shelter her from the bad world. But then it was like I heard this and I said ok God I hear you. My children are in your hands. And I will still teach them your ways but I will loosing my reigns and you take them.
here are a couple pics from school supply shopping. She looks so grown in her uniform and yes she picked the donut bookbag :)

 We had to take some documents back up to the school to finalize the registration. The principal was up there again. And we talked to her some more. She was so nice again and told me about all the renovations she had been doing in the previous 2 years that she has been there and that they plan on doing more. That made me feel better. Then I saw again in the office the 10 commandments and In God we Trust. Loved that being in there. We couldn't walk around and see the classrooms because the floors were being waxed but you could see the hall her class would be down. She said if I wanted to I could walk her in and come pick her up from her classroom everyday. And if I had any questions to ask her or any concerns to come tell her. She was so nice and seemed like she really cared. They also lock their doors at 7:30 and any visitors or late people have to come through the office. They also have bullet proof glass and cameras. Which all made me feel better. I think she is going to love school and I'm feeling so much better about her going. with the Lord giving me the strength and knowing he is watching over my baby all day makes me feel like we will be ok. Heres a pic of both #1 and # 2 playing on the train at Avery's new svhool.

God Bless! Keep this momma and my big girl in your prayers. This is def going to be a new adventure for all of us.

Confessions of a homeschooler

http://www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com/

I found this website months ago and I have loved going to it and printing her stuff off and looking at all her fun and amazing things she does with her kids. 

I just bought the book Homeschooling 101

Im just in the 1st chapter but I is helping me so much already. Its like she was ready right into my mind. I have felt God calling me to homeschool the girls but have had so much doubt and worry about if I would do a good job and if I will be teaching them enough. 

She points out that alot of mothers feel this way when they are jumping into this new journey.

Im excited about homeschooling with the girls and so nervous at the same time. 

I know that the Lord has called me to do this and that he will guide our steps and lead the way.

If you are thinking about homeschooling or on the fence about it , take the time and read this book. 

Next step is to decide on curriculum. 

I think I have narrowed it down to 2 and praying about it.

I know she is only in Kindergarten but this will be her base and I want something that will help me along with this 1st year also until I can get a good feel about it. 

Any info or support that  any of you homeschooling moms can give would be awesome.

Have a Blessed Day,

Heather =] 

Deuteronomy 11:19
Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Ephesians 6:4
Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

Proverbs 22:6

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it
