I'm going to throw MFW into the mix b/c it is cheaper than TOG b/c it comes with all the books you need, except the book basket selections. You can combine all those ages w/ little adaptions. The 1st grader will likely just be along for the ride, so to speak. You could even skip history for that year and just do the Exploring Countries and Cultures instead. The 7th and 8th graders would need the supplements that MFW sells for that. We are excited about ECC for next year and I have basically the same ages as you will! Just a thought...
:iagree:

mine is my middle name and I use it for all my email, etc. It was my great-grandmother's name.
It's so beautiful!

"Asher" is the Hebrew for "the feeling of being blessed." Not simply, being blessed, but feeling blessed. I went to a Beth Moore conference w. my best friend this past summer and she spoke about "asher". It struck a definitive chord in me. :) I am blessed. Everything around me is a true blessing and I do feel that way, finally, after feeling the opposite for so long.

Exactly. I believe PLL's 164 lessons are intended for the last half of 2nd and for 3rd grade, while ILL is for 4th through 6th. I have used and am using PLL with both my boys in the way you described: oral lessons and copywork, one sentence in 2nd, two sentences in 3rd. Love it! With my younger, I'm a bit more on the ball about narrating and am scribing his narrations, which are often a couple of paragraphs.
After ILL, our older boy went on to Winston Grammar and is really enjoying the formal grammar, much to my surprise. I can now breathe about not teaching the names for all those parts of speech when he was younger, lol. phew
So, prior to the first 1/2 of 2nd grade, you don't teach grammar? (I hope I'm not hj'ing the thread, sorry cowgirl).

I'm so intrigued by writing my own curriculum as I haven't found one I absolutely *LOVE*. :lurk5:

Here's a website for you to look at for youngers:
This would be my suggestion, too :)

I would love to get a Sigg, but they're so expensive, too. :tongue_smilie:I hear that REI Outlet online sometimes has them on clearance, though, so I'm keeping a look out.

This was my dd, now 3.5. She didn't fully learn to use the potty until about 3 months ago. I tried stickers, candy, new panties, praise, everything. So, I started to set the timer for every 2 or 2.5 hours and remind her to use the potty when it would go off. Ultimately, it came down to her choosing to do it. Also, I had to fully get rid of the pull ups because if she had them on, she would just go in them.

When my dc's are rude or back talk, I usually say "Try that again" or "Excuse me?" They then usually repeat what they were saying in a more respectful way, or I help by repeating what they have just said in a way I would prefer to hear it.

I heard great reviews from them on another forum. I'm due for another prescription, so I will be giving them a try. :)

From literally the 1st trimester on, I was in utter pain & the chiropractor was a life saver! She even cured my ds of his ear infections! Nevertheless, I honestly believe I would not have been as sane during pregnancy 2 had it not been for my chiro. :)

I could brush and floss and the water-pik could still get food out.
:iagree: This was a life saver. :)

wooden blocks. :) my ds loved them at this age. knex. duplos.

I was a member, but I found that I could find really great classical children's books for a much better deal, either @ the library or through Paperbackswap.com or abesbooks.com I think there's a better deal to be sought elsewhere :)

I felt very "caught" particularly during the winter. Now, when I am home, I feel the pull of gardening. :) I know this doesn't help. :P

(((hugs))) I pray that your ILs begin to heal soon. I guess "lighten your mood" would be subjective... :)

(((hugs))) I'm so glad you & yours are safe.

Wow, praise God! I'm so glad everyone was okay. (((hugs))) My grandpa was killed by a drunk driver almost 20 years ago & the guy got probation. :(

So cute! "Molly" & "Zoe"

I also just wanted to say how awesome I think it is that you are supporting his Christianity even though you don't believe yourself. That is remarkable...many parents would NOT support it and certainly wouldn't encourage it. You're a good Mom!
:iagree:
Suggestions:
Finding Your Way Through the Bible
For the Layman: Survey of the Old Testament
rainbowresource.com has both these books :)

I was thinking of switching to Singapore. I like how everything's laid out & I honestly thought ds was bored of MUS. So, I asked him this morning his preference & he said, "Math U See because you can see everything." Glad I consulted him first ;)
