Doing spelling before breakfast (www.spellingtime.com) seems to be working well for us right now. Charlotte loves that spelling program. She says it really works.
Getting on a new schedule in a new place is going well. The new house is great. it seems like it's so much easier to live here. We seem organized and things are coming together regarding a routine!
Sage is doing better with reading bit by bit. It's still a slow process, he still is taking his own sweet time...but I actually saw him enjoy reading today! It was just a short few passages, but it was great! Him and Layla both do readingeggs.com which I highly recommend.
Charlotte has been doing paper quilling lately. She's doing a great job! These are not hers, but hers are just as cute examples: https://www.customquillingbydenise.com/shop/images/274Jungle.jpg
Little Sebastian decided to crawl at 6 months old, and pull up and stand at 7 months old. It's darn cute. But also darn sad. I want him to stay a baby. Why is he acting like I'm giving him extra growth hormones!
My camera's battery charger is lost. In the move I guess... so I can't take any pictures. totally annoying.
The rest of the kids are doing well. Earlier Layla asked me if I wanted to know how to be a good spy. So she takes me around the house showing me how to sneak and look around corners. Then she takes me in the kitchen and tells me how to hide under the table until everyone leaves and then sneak to get cake. Later on tonight (about 30 min later) she asked me for a snack. I tell her we just had dinner and it's bedtime soon. She then says in a very practical voice, "Buuuut mom, if you don't let me have a snack I'll just have to sneak something like I showed you."
Good point. LOL!
Today was really busy. I had people stopping by all day (pool estimate guy, water purifier estimate guy), homeschooling, company over, and housecleaning to do.
Everyday is a new day. I'm going to jump in a hot jet tub and wait for what tomorrow brings.

How funny, we just moved and lost our battery charger in the process and just got a new one (we never did find it!). We also have 6 kids 10,8,6,4.5, 3, 11 months. We are considering home school. It seems too crazy to swith the 4 older kids to the new school while keeping the younger 2 at home. However, the thought of homeschooling seems so crazy trying to find a curriculm and a schedule that works. The worst thing would be if we tried it this fall, it didn't work for everyone and we had to send some of them back to public school. We can hardly keep up with laundry and dishes, how do you fit in homeschooling on top of it all?
