Today earned us a much needed break from school. I still think we should work 4 days and take 3 off. That just suits my personality so much better than work 5 take 2 off. Who made that rule?
Anyway…since two of my kids were out of school today the one I homeschool naturally took the day off too. We enjoyed doing nothing today because tomorrow is a “hit the ground running” kind of day.
Next year I am homeschooling all three boys. Our two middle boys are enrolled at a local Christian school this year. I’m looking forward to having next year with them. I don’t like running in the car all day long. Dropping off at school, picking up from school and the rest that goes in between ends up with us spending a lot of time in the car.
This year has been a great learning experience for me. I’ve become a better organized mom. I plan my days better and I actually create lesson plans. (GASP) I’ve grown as much as a homeschool mom as my children have as students. I think I learn as much if not more than they do each year.
I know next year will bring even more challenges while I try to keep three rambunctious boys on task. Any suggestions????
I tell you all this to lead into these pictures I’ve been waiting to post. This is what we do when we are not “doing” school. I did say rambunctious didn’t I??
The Flying Boy…
and the flying girl…
Oh yea! I’m toast!
Looks like it's gonna be a par-tay at your place!
Hee-hee! They remind me of some little children I know pretty well… 🙂
Good for your accomplishments this year! That's great!
As for what to do with these rambunctious boys? Do you have a trampoline? I will sometimes send a child or two out there to jump for a while if they seem to have some extra energy to burn. 🙂
Love, Alyssa
