MrsMommy Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Today was our last day of school for the 2016-17 school year. Which means I have homeschooled my oldest two from K-8! How did that happen?!? It seems like just yesterday we decided to try out the kindergarten year at home, just to see what it was like, and if it was doable, and now high school is staring me in the face!!! I put together a little photo gallery of my two "almost twins" through the years. They're so smart, and they've grown so much, and I'm so proud of them! Now, someone please tell me that high school isn't too scary, because I'm committed to doing at least 9th grade at home, and I'm really hoping I'm not in over my head! :) 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Awww that's awesome!! Makes me think I need to make sure to get those pics with my two youngest! What a nice way to look back. And high school is (mostly) great. You'll love it. :) Enjoy your summer break! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.... Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Now, someone please tell me that high school isn't too scary, because I'm committed to doing at least 9th grade at home, and I'm really hoping I'm not in over my head! :) We just started 10th grade about 4 weeks ago (our school year is a little off-kilter)...no, high school isn't scary. Not from our experience so far! We've actually been having a lot of fun with it. This past school year was our best school year ever (ironically, Lol). And I was terrified about 18 months ago (when we were planning). It does go by fast, doesn't it?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom25girls Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 High school ISN'T too scary. Except...it passes even faster!!!!! My first homeschooled student graduated from college this past August. GASP! My four "little ones" are finishing 11th, 10th, 9th and 7th grades. ENJOY as much as you can. Stress as LITTLE as you can (I kinda suck at that). It all passes so quickly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyoffive Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) AWWW Time passes so crazy fast doesn't it? I love the photos. I didn't know your oldest were not really twins. Edited May 17, 2017 by mommyoffive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMommy Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 AWWW Time passes so crazy fast doesn't it? I love the photos. I didn't know your oldest were not really twins. My son is 16 months older, and while he's gifted, my daughter is...a gift (bonus points to anyone who gets the reference!). So they started kindergarten together back in 2008, and they've been challenging each other (and, let's face it, me!) the whole way! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilaclady Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Nice photos. Well done and all the bets with high school 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Our big reality check was that high school really does take a full school day. It's seriously cutting into our homeschooling lifestyle. Both of my kids will be juniors next year; one in college and one in high school. It went so fast that I'm dizzy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Awe! They grew so much! Sometimes it's hard to norocd day to day but pictures make it so obvious, don't they? I'm wishing you the very best for high school at home. Bravo mama! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Oh that's fun seeing them grow up. Good luck with high school! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 No, high school is not too scary... but buckle up! If you thought the last 8 years went by quickly, the 4 years of high school are a BLUR! :eek: And, congratulations! :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) No, high school is not too scary... but buckle up! If you thought the last 8 years went by quickly, the 4 years of high school are a BLUR! :eek: :iagree: I was just talking to DD#1 the other day about future plans & realized she's already HALFWAY through high school. I swear she just started & I still have time to fix all the mistakes I made with her! DD#2 starts high school next year, but she's a completely different child, so I'll make all new mistakes with her! (I'm going to have to find some of those old sheets that I wrote down dd#1's high school plan & see how far we've tumbled off that so carefully penciled-in path!) ETA: Loved seeing the pictures of him being taller, then her being taller, then him overtaking her again.
