Boy oh boy we are having fun now!  We are now over a month into our new curriculum and a month into doubling our homeschool numbers - both have been an awesome success!  We are truly enjoying the Tapestry of Grace curriculum and having more than one child to complete a project with is wonderful for Teddie.

This week we are covering Moses and spent Monday watching Prince of Egypt and comparing it to the biblical account.  The kids found so many discrepencies, it was wonderful!  Yesterday they spent most of the day outside playing.  Outside playing you say, what kind of school it that?  Well I went to call them in to do some seatwork but stopped and listened to them first.  They were playing "Egypt"!  Naomi was the Queen, her sister Sarah and cousin Teddie were Princesses and her brother Stephen was the servant!  He was actually happy to be the servant because he was also the cupbearer and that meant he got to pretend to taste the food and water to determine if it was poisonous - a perfect boy job!  The children were "riding" around on our two small Little Tikes slides.  They were sitting double at the top with a rope stuck under the bottom of the slide which was apparently through the "camel's"  nose.  I think that was loosely based on pictures we have seen in our Children's Bible.  I let them play and was once again reminded just how much "schooling" takes place outside of "school"!
