Homeschooling - this is going to be a very busy week for me. I am so excited that my friend Danielle
has invited us to join her to her mothers house on Monday. We will be seeing Purple Martins and visiting a bird store. Also berry picking! I am thrilled!!! I think the kids will really enjoy the experience but not as much as I am looking forward to it! And berries to boot!
Then this week, either Tuesday or Wednesday, Justin's aunt is coming to visit us. She will be "gaining knowledge" of how I homeschool. HA HA HA that is such a funny thought. But hopefully I will not scare her and can give her some of what she needs. I guess the biggest thing is - normal people can do it and it does not always have to be perfect! She homeschooled last year and wants to come join me for a day. She is going to give this year another try.
The other day, my kids and I were doing Sonlight Science. We were on the float or sink experiment. Simple but kids love it.
Tristan was having a blast! He must have tried our objects 5 times each! And each time he would jump up and down screaming - "it floats!" or "it sinks!"
This is what the stinker does when I am doing homeschool with Lyss
He GLUES my counters to paper! I gave him things to keep him busy. Counters, cups, glue, paper, popsicle sticks etc. What did he do? Glued my counters!
What am I going to do with that boy? Each time I turn my back he is mixing or doing something. Yesterday I had a water bottle on my table. I drank most of it. Left to put clothes in the dryer while the kids were busy eating their bean soup. I come back and cannot find my bottle. Ok... check to see if I took it to the laundry. No. Nowhere. A while later I am getting a can from the can cupboard. Inside is my water bottle halfway filled with bean soup just sitting on the shelf! TRISTAN CHARLES! lol
I could go on and on with stories. He keeps me on my toes and very busy!
Here is my angel
I never have to worry about her mixing or pouring or spilling (unless she is trying hard to get her own stuff instead of having me help) behind my back! She was such a good child! Oh she is getting her own mischievious side though. She can be bad with the rest of them! But I never worry with her. If I tell her not to do something - she listens!
Friday is our next clinic date for Tristan. Keep him in your prayers as it is spinal tap day. Fun fun fun.
the bean soup story - how fun! I've got a couple of them like that and when I leave the room and they're not in fighting mode... uh oh! Right now it's them getting clean cups, filling them with water (water in the fridge door - no lock on it!) and making mud outside to track in the house. Not so bad I guess.... just hate cleaning it up being 10 months pregnant.
A place for me to gather thoughts, keep memories and gain sanity as I embark on the homeschooling journey. Also a place to update my friends and family on my son's journey with fighting a.l.l. Leukemia.
