Well I am afraid Fall is upon us.  The kids are sick, the weather is cold and rainy. But on a brighter note I get to put out fall and Halloween decorations , this is my favorite time to decorate!!! Even more so than Christmas. We have one more horse show this year! Kinda sad to see the season pass, and racing outdoors will be over for Dalton by the end of October, a much needed break for Bill!!! Poor Avery got her braces yesterday so that means 4 Packard kids now have or have had braces, so that only leaves Aiden!! Boy will my checkbook be glad when all this is over with.  Kenzie is doing fantastic at the Academy!! So proud of her!! The rest of the kids are doing great in school as well!! I am doing my homework and researching lots of programs for next year, I have had the pleasure of talking to lots of homeschoolers and I am thankful for all their support and shared info. I really like the Bob Jones Un. Program as well as the Switched on Schoolhouse programs.... the latter is alot more reasonable price wise, but it will boil down to what fits the kid the best, I have 4 children that all learn differently, it would easier on me to have them all do the same programs but it wouldnt be fair to them, sooooo still got alot of thinking to do. Gonna meet with some more experienced homeschoolers as well as teachers at the public school to get everyones input before "I" make the final decision. Also here is a picture of Aiden enjoying his new dirtbike. He has only had it a short time and is already jumping, for some reason it doesnt scare me when Dalton does it, but it terrifys me when Aiden does, and I remember Dalton as his age doing the same thing, maybe it is because he is the baby, but quite possibly the toughest kid we have!!
