Not enough space in the girls' room anymore for a desk, but I've now put some in the dining room (will try to post updated pics eventually). Our yard is small but there are times when they spend a lot of time out there anyway, with the animals or just enjoying being outside for a change. <br /><br />Neat about the curriculum, glad you're excited about it. Did you make a post about it?Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00488881901957036486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215113808725670662.post-59924710812523846202012-09-07T21:37:14.469-05:002012-09-07T21:37:14.469-05:00Thanks for the encouragement.

I hope someday there will be a place for that.

I'm sure you'd do fine w/out my help, but it would be an excuse to see your new place. ;) The dining room is much better than it was in the above pictures, so I hope you can still tell when you come, ha! We're looking forward to it.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00488881901957036486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215113808725670662.post-45003422096339516152012-09-07T21:20:39.884-05:002012-09-07T21:20:39.884-05:00Thanks!

And they like working in their bedrooms as well, either at their desks on in their beds.<br /><br /> I've also, just today, found a beautiful grade 7/8 curriculum, very bookish, so there will be even more reading going on! I'm SO excited about it.Annie Katehttp://anniekateshomeschoolreviews.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215113808725670662.post-14604890300871104222012-08-14T02:48:01.191-05:002012-08-14T02:48:01.191-05:00Wow!

As much as I am grateful for my dedicated space, I love the idea of learning happening everywhere (cause it does!) You are really making that happen.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18044180663927435474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215113808725670662.post-10853825218758054452012-08-13T22:55:02.400-05:002012-08-13T22:55:02.400-05:00Love this post!
