This Weekend's Big Family Project
Remember how last weekend, we painted the sunroom? Well, this weekend we painted our kitchen and dining area. It is on the same paint strip as the dark brown we used on the sunroom; and it is actually darker then it looks in this picture. Now all we have to do is get Blinds for this set of windows and those in the sunroom. I am thinking about getting blinds like these. I like the 2" slats, but we cannot afford the real wood version. That window is 60" across! What do you think? This weekend, my oldest daughter got to help paint instead of helping babysit! She was very diligent and did a great job. We are so glad to have children who are such a big help!
The bottom line is; We try not to insist on parent-led learning or gravitate toward child-led learning. We try instead to focus on God-led learning and ask for His input and perspective on every aspect of our home school. That way, when others fuss about what Dan and I are doing and make me second guess our decisions -- I can go back to our decision process and find God's fingerprints, reminding me that this is His way.
