And the end of the day....



I posted a picture of the start of the day so I thought I'd post some gorgeous sunset pictures too :)  And it WAS a gorgeous sunset!!!  

In fact all in all it has been a gorgeous day.  LONG, but a pretty wonderful start to the school year for all of us I would say :)

Susannah and Laurence seemed to have good days...a few issues with various things - teacher changes, bus complications on the first day etc but all in all they seemed very happy :)  

Sam, Abby and I spent the rest of our day pretty much in the same way we spent our morning - a mixture of school work, chores, games, chatting...oh and I got confirmation of their places in the Bricksforkidz classes this semester, which I am THRILLED about :)  They are going to LOVE those classes :)  Abigails friend Sophia is also going to be in the classes - so she will be in French, Bricks, and hopefully getting together socially as well.  Wonderful :)  

I also got confirmation today/ receipt of the childrens science classes for the whole year.  I'm so glad I got them into all the ones I wanted.

I'm working with City of Edmonton facilities to try to get them to plan some homeschool-specific classes starting in the New Year.  At places such as Fort Edmonton and The Zoo.  They do soooo many for schools and families to book but none for homeschoolers.  This needs to change - when places like Telus  World of Science and Strathcona County provide soooo many excellent classes and the Capital city of the Province provides NONE!!!  So we are in talks and hopefully can change that :)  

Tomorrow is the first day of school for the Edmonton school boards - and so tomorrow is the start of the homeschool year in the city.  To celebrate, we are off to join hundreds of other homeschoolers at the 'NOT BACK TO SCHOOL PICNIC'
:)  

I'm hoping tomorrow is a another GOOD day for Abigail :)
