Whew. I almost see the end. What a busy last few weeks. Church camp, VBS, 4H county fair, church camp again (I go also-I am a dorm mom), family reunion (and we bring back all the little cousins with us for a week or more). Right now we have a house full of little ones. They have been chasing chickens, swimming in the front pond, fishing in the back pond, horseback riding, bike riding, playing board games...keeping us busy.
My next project (after all the kids leave except my own) is to move our homeschool classroom from upstairs to the basement. We are going to use a part that is not finished, so I can finish it anyway I want. It does have a kichenette in one part, and a bathroom off of it. If anyone knows of anything I can add to my "dream classroom", I am open to ideas!
busy summer

We have 9 foot ceilings in the basement, and one wall is lined with bookcases. Another wall has my "treasure from Lowes"--a ten foot section of bottom kitchen cabinets. The cabinets will house supplies, games and such. Our posters and artwork will be displayed on the wall above the cabinets. (I got these dirt cheap several years ago-someone ordered them and never picked them up)
I will have a desk there, but the kids will use a large wooded kitchen table instead of individual desks. I find this gives them more workspace since they each will have a cabinet and drawer for their stuff. The table also works well since we also do sewing for home ec--it provides more room.
