Feb. 12, 2007 - "Jesus is probably eating in Heaven right now."

It has been a while since I have updated.  Between homeschooling, co-op, gym and swim, laundry, dishes, meals, shopping, bills, bathing (myself and everyone else), cleaning and whatever else I have to do that day...  I'm sure you can understand my delay.  When I do have a chance to sit down here, one of my favorite things to share are some of the conversations between my children.  For example:

Andrew    "I bet Jesus is eating in Heaven right now."
Mom "Why do you think so?"
Andrew  "Because he didn't eat while he was on Earth."
Mom "I think Jesus ate while he was here Honey."
Andrew (without missing a beat) "Oh yeah! He had that last supper." 

I did find a great new website!  A friend from co-op told me about this one.  Hubbards Cupboard is the site.  There is a lot of information and lots of ideas starting with very young children.  One of the things I found on there was an idea for a Calendar Binder.  I made one for myself to use as an example and one for each of the kids.  It is a great way to learn numbers, how to read a calendar and weather charting.  Here are some pictures of mine.

Caitlyn and Caroline are getting better reading and writing their numbers every day!  Andrew is doing great reading the calendar.

A Letter From The County School Board!

I received my first letter from the county school board...    Fear shot through me...  All I could imagine was my having to go before the school board to defend myself as a homeschooling mother.  Thankfully it was no more than a little letter asking if I wanted to apply for educational assistance.  I do have to say the fear is helpful to me though.  It keeps me on my toes for sure!  I can say pretty confidently that I have all of my ducks in a row if I were asked to show that the kids are learning at an appropriate level.  They certainly get lots of outside interaction with other children too, which seems to be a big concern for several outsiders.

Allison is such a sweetie!! I loved hanging out with her in the nursery before Eli was born.

Thanks for the great site. I will add that to my favorites. Time will fly and Eli will be ready for that sort of stuff before I know it.
