the last day

Today was the last day of school for the big 3 girls.  The school had a scheduled late start day, so they had a hot pancake breakfast before they got on the bus this morning.  I didn't know what to expect to happen today, but it went really well.  They all came home with their supplies and a couple had math workbooks in their backpacks, and we are all excited to get started with schoolwork at home next week.  I'm going to let them enjoy tomorrow as a weekend day like the school had scheduled for today, and we will take Monday to go to the Columbus Zoo I think since they have free admission (just pay parking that day, plus the cost of the gas I'll need to get there and back).  Tuesday, we will get started on lessons at home like we didn't miss a beat.  I know exactly where each kid needs to be placed in math, and after a trip to the library this weekend for some books I should be ready to go.

We all feel as if a weight has been lifted from our shoulders in making this change.  The school the girls went to is a great school and they did very well and we all had a wonderful experience, but now it is time for us to get back to life as it is meant to be in our home.  I am looking forward to the start of this chapter in our lives, the chapter of sending them to school was a great experience and we learned a lot but it is time to get back to normal.
