school's out for summer

Ahhh.. summer vacation is here. It was a good school year, but I'm happy about the break.

Lillie has decided to go to school next year. At first, she said she would homeschool if she didn't get into the charter school that Grace attends. Then, she decided that another year of homeschool would be "torture". Last year that would have hurt my feelings, but this year has been a lot different. I agree that she should go to school.

Lillie just hasn't had enough kids to play with. She's had some kids to play with some of the time, but not enough. We've gone to homeschool P.E. days and field trips, but we never connected with another family.

So, last Thursday was our last day of homeschool and I wasn't sad. Maybe a little, but not like I was last year on what I thought was our last day of homeschool. Yesterday I dropped off Lillie's registration papers for the school down the street. Just in case she doesn't get into the charter school. And it's good. As much as I loved homeschooling, I know that this is good.
