		<title>This Week&#8217;s Fun Stuff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This last Saturday, I took the kids to the Old Mormon Fort for a history program they offer every month.  It was so cool.  This month, they learned about mining, especially here in Nevada.  They even got to do some &#8220;mining&#8221; of their own by looking for &#8220;gold,&#8221; &#8220;silver,&#8221; and &#8220;copper&#8221; in birdseed.  We had to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=homeschooladventures.wordpress.com&blog=3635080&post=217&subd=homeschooladventures&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>I Haven&#8217;t Jumped Ship!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, I haven&#8217;t jumped the homeschooling ship, just neglected my blog!  I was trying for a while to be really diligent about posting, but fell off the wagon.  But, now I&#8217;m back and there is a ton of exciting stuff going on.  There should be blog posts a-plenty from now on. 
I&#8217;m not going to recap everything since [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=homeschooladventures.wordpress.com&blog=3635080&post=212&subd=homeschooladventures&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Science gone wrong&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gavin has been learning about plants and what they need to grow and be healthy.  So, we did a little science experiment, which was designed to show him that without sun and water and air seeds can&#8217;t grow.  We planted seeds in plastic cups, poked holes in the bottom, and placed the cups in a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=homeschooladventures.wordpress.com&blog=3635080&post=209&subd=homeschooladventures&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Winding down</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, the school year is winding down, but we are still in full swing.  In fact, we&#8217;ll be working over the summer, but only on fun stuff like art and science.  We will be finishing up all the language arts and such very soon!  Hooray for that!  The boys are happy about it, too.  Gavin [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=homeschooladventures.wordpress.com&blog=3635080&post=206&subd=homeschooladventures&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Gavin&#8217;s Reading</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I&#8217;ve been having a lot of trouble getting Gavin to work on his phonics stuff.  He doesn&#8217;t like it, and I really can&#8217;t blame him there.  It&#8217;s pretty repetitive and boring.  He doesn&#8217;t like doing it, and I really don&#8217;t either.  However, it&#8217;s necessary because he has to learn how to read.  So, in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=homeschooladventures.wordpress.com&blog=3635080&post=201&subd=homeschooladventures&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Oh, what a week&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And, yes, it&#8217;s only Monday. 
Sometimes Mondays just go a bit haywire, don&#8217;t they?  For whatever reason, it was like pulling teeth today to get the kids to do anything.  They&#8217;ve been pretty grumpy since we left Grandma&#8217;s in Utah.  I think all the traveling in the car was just more than they could take, and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=homeschooladventures.wordpress.com&blog=3635080&post=196&subd=homeschooladventures&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Where, oh where, has the time gone????</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, it&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve posted anything.  Life has just gotten away from me.  I feel like I might one day eventually slow down, but hey, what&#8217;s the hurry? 
Well, we&#8217;ve been trucking along with school.  After my dad passed away, it took a bit to get back into the groove of things, but [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=homeschooladventures.wordpress.com&blog=3635080&post=191&subd=homeschooladventures&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>My Daddy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a few weeks since I&#8217;ve posted anything.  That&#8217;s because my world has been turned upside down. 
A little over four weeks ago, my dad passed away unexpectedly in his sleep.  Ever since then, nothing has been the same. 
My dad was my rock.  He was my friend.  He was my daddy.  He will always be.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=homeschooladventures.wordpress.com&blog=3635080&post=188&subd=homeschooladventures&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Well, so much for that idea&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow is the official end of Christmas vacation.  I had all the grand ideas of having the kids do some extra school work during the break.  A day of science, or language arts.  Gavin could do some phonics catch up.  Plus, I didn&#8217;t want to fall out of the routine of school.  Yeah, that didn&#8217;t [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=homeschooladventures.wordpress.com&blog=3635080&post=182&subd=homeschooladventures&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
