It's Friday!

We had fun playing with water colors, food dye, salt and clear glue. Then we went inside and Bryson finished his social studies ( a rainbow on my plate-healthy food), while Cambria sorted colored bears and Chase worked on his workbook for colors. Then we did some math and language arts and we're done for the week!! So by 11am we headed to Bounce Town, had a picnic on their lawn and now we're bouncing and jumping around ( counts for PE). What a fun day!!

Homeschool Happiness

Homeschooling does have it's up's and downs, but I've noticed it all depends on me. If I'm not prepared... if I haven't included enough hands on learning and adequate playtime, it can all go downhill quickly. The kids will let you know exactly how they feel. 

I thrive on the little victories. Kids absorbed in a science project, a pretty picture, a nice word to a tired and frustrated mommy. I have found if I don't pray for help and include my Heavenly Father, things don't go as well. Kids notice when there is a sweet spirit in our home. I thank God every day for this opportunity to be with my kids. I may be the teacher, but more often than not I'm the one learning a valuable lesson. 

The pledge!
