So today we started back to school. Homeschool that is. The FlowerChild was so excited she could not eat breakfast. After her attempt at breakfast she rushed to get her books so we could get started. It is so great to have her enjoy learning!
I could tell she had been off for a couple of weeks as we had to review some. But she got back in the groove pretty quickly. Hopefully tomorrow will go even more smoothly. I actually like the idea of homeschooling year round because it does keep her on a schedule. And she seems to respond well to staying on that schedule. It seems like the grouchies and misbehavior creep in more when she is off schedule. She is one of those children that has to stay very busy and occupied both physically and mentally. Which means she keeps the whole family very busy and occupied both physically and mentally, ha! The FlowerChild soaks up LIFE!

"I tell the Fisherman that love is not just an emptied trashcan, it is one with a new trashbag put in. Ok, yes, we have 4 kids and have been married forever...I take my romance where I can get it! "
ReplyDeleteLOL, I am so with you there. The General and I were just discussing this, how young whiper snappers (spelling :) don't have any idea what real love is. It isn't looking hot, smelling good and having a cool car. It is holding back your wife's hair when she pukes, folding the laundry when she is tired and saying those magic words "honey, why don't you go take a (nap, shower, blog time, etc) while I watch the kids.
Yep, the definition of real love changes when you are in the trenches of raising kids :)
Good tip, I JUST figured this out because we have a ton of shopping bags but I never put extra in the kitchen because of leaks too. If you solve it, let me know :)
Many Blessings :)
