Funtimes my friends, funtimes...

ahh, homeschool book ordering is in the air... I love to order stuff.

Last night I hit the "order" button for Tapestry of Grace- year 1. The hard part was ordering just that...no bonus bundle, no lapbooks, wrting aids or good old plain fun reading books. So very hard, especially when you get free shipping on orders over $250, it would have been so easy to add things to my cart and go over that amount...so very easy.

My sober-minded plan is to order the curriculum and then look over the reading lists in a casual and orderly manner- thoughtfully researching what I need to order from them, what I can get at the library, and what I can find used or on sale elswehere. Sober-minded, but no fun. I like to order books. I like to get a package from UPS and open it, and find little gems of possibility between carboard covers. I love books. A box with a curriculum/course of study minus the books is only half the fun. Can you tell that I am already repenting of not ordering any books at all?

I also ordered some Abeka; a phonics workbook and handwriting workbook for Amie and handwriting for Demi-Sky.
Again, lacking in the imaginitive/fun department.

I'll be back in a little while, internets...going to go browse Amazon for some kicks...

(sorry, no links..I have to figure out how to open two windows on my mac..sorry)

Oh, I also saw your post about your new mac! I am so jealous!!!

Blessings.

I love my mac..if I could only figure out how to post links....it's an imperfect love, I guess.

yes this will be my very first year with Tapestry. I am such a curriculum junkie, I am hoping I can do good with this. I am really excited to use it, hopefully that will count for something...
:)

thanks for visiting, I will go on over and visit you...
At 12:49 AM, Karen said...: I just placed my first TOG order this afternoon... I did get the bundle for Year 2 Redesigned. No free shipping, though... that's only on books, not the curriculum itself. After a rough year of Sonlight with my 3, I am hoping TOG will go much better. In a way, I think it will be more work, but hopefully it will be the kind of work the kids will enjoy.

Now to wait for it to arrive so that I can figure out what books I will need!
