This has been our first week of school. I have to admit I think it's been harder for me to get back in the swing of things than the kids. It has although been a great week. We are doing something completely different this year for school. We are doing paces and the kids surprisingly are loving them. So far they have worked much harder, complained less, and all in all just enjoyed their school time so much more than ever before. I am so happy about the way things are going. At this rate they will be done with all their paces just about the time the baby will be arriving and then we will have lots of fun family time. This is our plan anyway.
The kids have always just been able to pick where they wanted to be at to do their school - whether it be on the couch, outside, or on the kitchen table, but this year Margaret decided that she would like for them to have their own personal space. Being married to Big Daddy has been such a blessing when it comes to these times. We had the idea and big daddy started searching around the farm to see what he could find. He found all the right pieces and I found the material and within one days time, they had their little student corrals. They look ever so cute and they have them all decorated and fixed up. They are so proud of them. I don't know how many people would want little student corrals in their livingroom, but this is our life and we love it.
After all this being said, I just want to say how blessed I am to be able to stay at home with my babies. I love schooling them. I love watching them learn and be excited about how they are doing in their school. I love being with them if they need help or just need a hug. I love being a momma, a keeper of the home, and a homeschooling momma. I just don't know how it could get much better than to be able to spend everyday with the precious ones God has given to you.
