School Minutes
"What is homeschool like?" you ask. Trust me, there is a different answer for every time and every person you ask, but here are a couple of enjoyable moments from our homeschool this week.
This is a picture of Taylor doing her math in the teeny tiny corner behind our living room chair. I was sitting in the chair holding the camera over my head while pointing it down to take the picture. I had to take several before I actually got one of her face. He he!
Another moment was when we were reading history and Taylor asked me if anyone would ever write a book about us for people to read. I told her maybe they would if we did something important. She said, "Yeah! Like be missionaries."
"Maybe," I say with a proud Momma heart.
Then she says, "We could even die like that man we read about. (Jim Elliot with the Auca tribe in South America) He didn't even fight back, he just held his arms out because he wasn't afraid to die. Like this." Then she proceeded to hold her arms out like a cross and fell over backward.
By that time my heart was feeling a little more apprehensive. I'd like to think that I could be a brave martyr, but I would certainly prefer to not be faced with that choice. But no, not Taylor. She's all gung ho about a chance to be remembered in history. Never mind that I write about her all the time....
