So.  This is blogging.  Hmmm. 

I've never done this before, and really like I'm at a loss.  So I guess I'll just start with a little background.

I'm a 38 year old stay at home mom.  I'm homeschooling my two daughters:  McKenzie who will be six in May 2007 and Kylie who will be four in July 2007.

Not much exceptional there.  Right now my husband, Sean, (of 15 years) is trying to get Kylie to nap.  He is a firm believer of leading by example.  Hopefully, his snoring will lure her of to la la land as well.  She's particularly fussy and tired today.  Falling asleep shouldn't be too hard.

McKenzie is supposed to be hanging up her clothes (we don't put their clothes in drawers - and now I can't remember why).  Instead she is sitting on the couch reading Man O' War for about the 100th time this week.  The book is one of those "I can Read It!" books.  There way below her reading level, but, hey, she's reading!!!

In two weeks, we are going to start our next phase of homeschooling:  a real curriculum!

We are going to be doing Sonlight's Level 1+2 World History.  Since McKenzie is reading and comprehending at a 3rd grade level and we've already done a lot of ancient history, I thought it would be a good place to start.  Next year we are planning on Level 3.  We will finish up Saxon 1 and begin Saxon 2.  We are using Rod & Staff for grammar, manners & health, and music.  Consider God's Creation is what we will be using for science. 

Oh!  I almost forgot, I frequently call the girls "monkeys" because of the antics they pull, which is why I selected the MonkeyMom moniker.

You are going to enjoy blogging here. I just started last week, and I'm having a blast. I really like reading other blogs and leaving comments. We also have two children, though mine are a bit older, 9 and 11. Welcome to blogging. I hope you enjoy it. I will add you to my friends list.

Welcome to blogging! It's a lot of fun, though it's easy to spend way too much time here.

I came to your blog from a comment you left on tiredmom's blog.

I have a seven year old daughter (since Feb 07) and a four year old daughter (will be five in May 07). Neither of my girls can read. 7yo can sound out some words, but that's about it. (I posted something about that recently.)

Anyway... I just wanted to say "hello" and welcome to HSB!
