Long time no post...

Things have been crazy busy here in the Rup household.  I had no idea how time consuming it would be to homeschool.  Sure I thought it would take up time but it takes up a lot of time.  Honestly I don't mind one bit either.  The rewards of seeing the kids learn something outweigh the fact that I don't have as much down time.  I think my only complaint is that I wish I had more space!! Homeschool has invaded all my space.  Between books, computers, printers, and school supplies.  I even had to add a bookshelf which went in my bedroom for more supplies!

Highlights:

  •  My oldest getting a 96% on his fraction lesson - it came with lots of hard work.  So proud!
  • My middle learning science and being able to answer every question on the lesson with ease!
  • My youngest knowing all his colors! (He isn't even 2!)

Lastly, printer ink was KILLING my budget!  So I broke down and bought a laser printer.  For about $50 in toner I can print 2600 sheets.  That is so much better than what I was paying for with my inkjet printer.  The downside is I still need both printers since the laser printer is only black/white.  Of course I've yet to hook it up since I need a cable to do that, fortunately it will be wireless after the initial hook up.  

So a tiny update!  Hope you all are having a great week!
