It has been an amazing school year already. Yes, some days I wonder “what in the world am I doing” but most days we are just fine. How do I home school 4 children (9th, 9th, 7th & 4th grades) well, many days it’s not easy to give them all the time they want / need, but recently we came up with a neat idea. Interruption causes lots of delays daily. So .. to incorporate physical fitness with interruption, when Mama has her hat on (yup, a real hat) this says I am helping someone else. You interrupt us, well sure we’ll stop, but to watch you do sit ups or push ups. Anyone want to guess how quickly the interrupting diminished??? Wish I had thought of this 8 years ago when we began homeschooling.
But really, each day is an adventure. Our high school & middle school classes on Thursday’s are in full swing. Today is week 5 at classes and everyone is settling into a routine. We recently had our high school scavenger hunt and David and Victoria really enjoyed themselves. I am teaching 3 & 4yr olds this semester in Voyagers and I love this age. Today we used shaving cream and practiced our ABCs in it. Oh, how long ago mine were this little.
This week I sat down with the high school transcriptor (who accredits the classes if you want) and it was so amazing to be outlining my 2 teenagers 9th grade year. What do they each want to be? I have no idea, BUT they both have a wonderful future ahead of them and I am so proud to be their Mama.
On the A front, we are getting ready for our next trip. We cant help but be nervous, we think all will be okay, but we know its all in the Lords hands and we trust Him to walk with us on this path he has brought us on. Talking about end of the year testing this week was amazing. Just in that I am planning that far ahead. Trusting he will be here and we will watch him grow and mature and learn this year.
Well, that is about all for now. Going to plan for my babys 14th birthday in 3 days. I cant believe
