Even Busier?

Today Mia went to audition for a local children's theatre musical that will be in December.  If she is cast, we will officially be busier than we've ever been before.  Already, Lennon has school from 8:10 until 11:40 during which time, Mia and I get most of her school work done, outside of an occasional reading assignment that needs finishing or a science project.  It may not seem like a big deal, but for us home schoolers, being up, dressed and out of the house by 7:45 every day is a big change!

Here's our week at a glance:
Monday: Mia has theatre at The Stoneham Theatre from 3:30-4:40.  This week, I let her walk home by herself.  It was scary for me, even though it's a straight shot home and only about 1/4 mile, but Shelby said he went further than that on his bike at her age, so I went for it.  She was so proud of herself.

Tuesday: Lennon has swimming class through Boston University from 2:15 until 2:45.

Wednesday: Lennon has gymnastics from 3:30 until 4:30

Thursday: Mia and Lennon have music school at The Real School of Music from 1:00 until 2:30 followed by a private piano/voice lesson for Mia until 3:00

Fridays we currently are reserving for field trips and play dates, although we may occasionally take advantage of the art classes at the MFA here.

If Mia is cast in Auntie Claus, she will be adding to her busy schedule rehearsals on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 4 until 6!

We are working pretty hard on school this year too.  We're onto The Middle Ages in history, lots of fractions in math, reading about an 18th century ship navigator from Salem for language arts, biology, and lots and lots of music and dancing all day long.  Mia painted a precious little portrait of The Lady of The Lake holding Excalibur out for Arthur.  I'll see if I can get it scanned in to post here.

I don't have a relevant picture to post here, so I'll just leave you with a precious one of my two little lovies from our summer camping trip to New Hampshire.  Someday maybe, I'll post the pics from that trip.  :)
