On Monday I spent two hours buying curriculum for the boys. We use Abeka so I hauled myself to their display in a local town instead of the lake (which is where I wanted to be) to purchase and save on shipping (about $70).
I was impressed with their new Abeka Academy but it was pricey! About $1000 per kids.
If I bought the teacher kit and the student kit I was going to spend about $500 per child. Again, YIKES!
So I sat, burnt the last of my brain cells on their order form, and put together what I’d need for the kids next year. I had some things I already planned on using so I wanted to fill in the gaps. I ended up spending about $500 on all three boys which felt like a huge accomplishment.
Then off to the lake to defog my already taxed brain.
Ah, thank goodness for the lake.
On a side note my dad asked for silhouettes of the kids so he could paint them. I thought he wanted a true silhouette so this is what I ended up with but he actually wanted profile shots. I liked this one though and wanted to share it with you.
Here’s our middle son, complete with his AUBURN hat!
Wishing you a great Humpday!!!
Humpday? I'd better google that… LOL!
What a sweet profile shot of your son! 🙂
And GOOD job spending only $500 on all 3 boys for school! Don't tell my DH that! LOL! 🙂
Love, Alyssa

Love, Alyssa

Love that shot. I am partial to silhouettes…. What a great accomplishement getting your curriculum for $500.
Thanks for stopping by and saying hi. I just adore Beth Moore. I was supposed to go to a conference w/ some girlfriends last Aug.. but that is when my dad had surgery in Charlotte, so I didn't get to go. Maybe someday.
Have a good weekend!
