It's that time of year again! Almost time for school to start :) Again just like every summer we went back and forth on whether or not to keep on homeschooling or send the girls back to the Private Christian School they attended for their first few years. In the end homeschooling won out ! We love it and also we just couldn't find the wiggle room to financially juggle paying for private school again times two :) So the books are all ordered and should be here by the weekend :)

We are also invlolved in a Homeschool group who we go on field trips with. They also do a Science Fair and a Heritage Fair :) So again still hoping to order The Mystery of History Volume 1 and Who is God from Apologia when the budget allows :)
So there you have it ! Our school books for this year :) I ordered myself The Ultimate Homeschool Planner. which I'm very excited about :) Can't ya tell !! I set aside $300 for books. I managed to stay under by only using $267.04 plus whatever the USA exchange is. I will also have shipping costs for the books my sis is sending us from Alberta, but all in all, staying pretty close to my budget !
