It's a gloomy, chilly, rainy day today.  I did NOT want to get out of bed this morning!  But, being the prudent homeschooling mama that I am (haha!) I rolled out after hitting the snooze button only once.  I really dread the winter months when it's so dark in the mornings.  That really makes it hard to get out of the warm bed!

So what are we up to today?  BigBub has been partly working and partly goofing off.  *frustration*  He likes to take his time and get everything organized the way he wants it, and he often spends too much time organizing and not enough time actually working.  Then by the time he gets around to doing the work, he's either run out of time, or he's "tired".  (And the rainy day only magnifies that "tired" feeling!  I'm feeling it, too!)   It's hard to know where that fine line is between expecting him to be responsible for his own work and getting it done on his own OR standing over him like a drill sergeant.  He's 11.

Sis is working on her worksheets, and complaining of being "bored".  LOL.  The 3rd day into it, and she's bored!

LilBub is being very good today.  I printed off a fun activity for him to do this morning.  It's an alphabet snake from KizClub.com.  It requires a lot of cutting, so I helped him with that.  But he pretty much did the rest of it by himself.  Now he's excited about having a couple of snakes hanging around.  He can't wait for daddy to get home because he is convinced that the snakes will scare him!  After all that work, I let him chill out with a LeapFrog video.

Now we're getting ready to eat lunch.  I'm thinking it's a mac and cheese kind of day!  After lunch - who knows.  I may declare an official "Nap Time" as part of our daily schedule.  LOL.  What kind of day are you having today?
