Welcome to OZ-someness ! ! !

It's an Oz-some life! So I am sure some of you may be wondering why it is so Oz-some, so I will explain. Some of you may have heard this story already so bare with me. Two  months ago I was at the bookstore with my 3 children and husband when  my youngest- age 6, decided he would like to have the story "The Wizard of Oz ". I agreed and thought nothing more of it. It happens to be one of my least favorite stories (sorry) but it's what he wanted. Fast forward one month. This year we have decided to Walk in the " JDRF Walk to Cure" . The same 6 year old  who picked the "Wizard of Oz" story happens to also be a Type 1 diabetic. The theme of the walk this year........drum roll please.......the Wizard of Oz- follow the yellow brick road. So rolling with the coincidences I decided that we would spend the next 3 weeks working on a unit study on the same theme. Our family happens to be of the "Home Education Variety" which I am sure to some is seen as very OZ like, and truth be told it sometimes is....... So inspired by all of this I have decided that the blogger in me should make an official appearance and share with some of you what our Oz-some world is like. So follow along, and watch for the flying monkeys!!!!
