Jingle bells jingle bells............

So, obviously it's not really Christmas, but it sure feels like it at our house! The packages of school supplies started arriving today, and will continue to trickle in until Tuesday. Today we got one box full of books from Amazon, and a box of stuff from Sonlight. Our Sonlight box had all the kids math curriculum, a balance scale, a farm puzzle for Isaac, and a couple of books. So far the scale and the puzzle are huge hits with the kids! One very interesting book I got from Amazon today is called Material World: A Global Family Portrait. It shows families from all over the world, the things they own, what they eat, how they live, etc...... It really is quite fascinating. Tomorrow I should be getting a huge order from Scholastic with lots of fun story books and some games. Monday I will be getting another large box of books from Amazon, and a large box of books and other goodies from Rainbow Resource. Tuesday we should be getting our last two boxes from Amazon. I have a few other items coming as well, but I'm not expecting those for another week or so. Now I have to get crackin' on the planning because we are going to start Monday!!
