Homeschooling a Houseful

What a wonderful couple of days I have had. I didn't have to leave the house and that always keeps me feeling peaceful. School was accomplish in a timely manner by all the children giving them free time in the afternoon. The children were able to spend some time outside today. A favorite backyard activity is golfing. Most of the children have their own sets of golf clubs and we figure this summer we may actually take lessons and learn how to play. We have spent time at the driving range and the putting green, but we need to graduate to the real golf course. James found mud today and he loved it. Once I had seen him, I thought I might as well leave him for awhile. The house was so quiet and I was enjoying it. Then in for a 4 boy shower before dinner. Why is it that we love the smell of the fresh air outside, but when it comes in on a boy, it just doesn't smell that good??

3 of the children are at Bible study and I am getting things packed up for tomorrow. Wednesday is Home Link co-op day and the children are looking forward to it. It has been a couple long weeks (last week was spring break) and Jonathan has been asking everyday, when we go Deer Park? His eyes always light up when I can say tomorrow.

James is learning how to count while he hangs out at the table during school time. 123 he can quickly say. He is just soo cute. 2 year olds...you gotta luv em .

Jacob who is 4 is really getting the hang of school. Just in the last couple weeks I have seen a "readiness" in him. He is recognizing all the numbers and can count objects by just looking at them and not finger counting them. Yeah, it doesn't take much to impress this mom.

Well, I really should get myself busy. I need to do tomorrow's

tonight..at least one load of it. If I don't I find Thursday to be a bit more stressful than I like it to be.

Have a blessed day,
Liz
