An Extra Ordinary Life
Apr. 28, 2006
The Homeschool connection.

 I just love to have freetime to read other peoples blogs. I feel sometimes that I am so abnormal for being convicted to educate my children at home. Others peoples homschooling blogs let me know that here I am normal. There are other people who want some of the same experiences and lessons for their children as I want for mine and it is a relief to come here after a hard day in the "world".

It is a relief to know God has called others and not only me!!! 

I also love the questions people ask and ponder which gives me food for thought and helps me recognise things I need to work on.

 

 Things seem to be going well right now. I am really enjoying seeing the children reinforce what they have learned  even in conversation between themselves.

 

 We went on an excursion today and were wanting to join in on a tour of old relics that were stored at the back. The man taking the names took one look at the six children between my friend and I, and  he immmediately tried to tell us all the reasons why we should not go. I was a little bit annoyed because all the reasons he gave were not even applicable to our children. He said it might be long and it might not keep their interest and there was no easy way out if we wanted to leave. I confidently said to him they will be well behaved and enjoy it. Amazing what bands of unruly school kids and undisiplined chilldren can do to a person. it was fantastic and I was so proud of my three children 8 and 2x 6 as well as our friends. Nathan who is 4 was so wonderful.

So much more going on in my head but I will leave it for another day.

I love reading other peoples blogs too. :o) I also love it when my children behave beautifully!! Its nice to know that we are normal, sometimes its easy to feel so *odd*, dont you think? Especially when people just look at you and say "you do what??? Why???" Its just too hard to try to explain that question at times. :o)

Thanks for commenting on my blog, its really nice to read your comments. They are always really positive. :o)

love Bec
