1st Day of School

Do any of you remember the good ol' days when school started on the day after Labor Day? I do, and my kids will too because we went back to that old way. We started school on Sept. 4, and had such a fantastic day. This photo was taken at recess.

The girls are working on their Spanish lesson in this photo. Muy bien.

The girls had to apply for passports because we will be traveling to many different countries this year. In this photo, even brother took part in the activity---he is the mailman who will take the applications to the post office.
We made homemade ice cream to commemorate the special occasion, and everyone helped out.
We invited our close friends to have some ice cream with us that evening. It was a great celebration. Both families are doing the same Christian curriculum this year: "My Father's World-Exploring Countries and Cultures". It is so awesome! We'll have more photos later of all of the various countries we visit throughout this school year.
