The children started back to school two weeks ago….sorta. Since we have been sick, school has been limited….very limited. The kids really don’t have a lot to do right now: language, history, bible, spanish, math, writing, science and html…but you would think I asked them to rewrite the dictionary in Chinese! Sheesh!
As for K….she has two subjects right now (well, two that she does sitting at a desk) until we get her reading up to par: math and Explode the code. She is progressing nicely in Explode the Code…her reading has improved greatly! Also, she doesn’t realize she is learning when we play games, watch biographies on tv, cook together, etc.
The kids are very good about school. They will *usually* get their work finished on time…..or shortly thereafter! :-\ T and L are at a point where they can do most of their work with little guidance from me. I help K with everything and that’s good. I love helping children who want to learn….it’s when they fight me or start complaining about the work that I get irritated! :-\
Tomorrow is Friday…I wonder which of the children will be doing school over the weekend to catch up what they didn’t get finished this week….
This is Elephant Gop. He is my daughters best friend. He joined our family back in 2004 during our trip to Washington, DC. He is so much a part of our lives that he will be getting his own blog in a few months. I’ll let you all know all about it when it’s up and running!
My youngest daughter still has enough of that babyish cuteness to make her extremely cute. (not that the other children aren’t, or that she won’t be in a couple of years, but that *baby* in a child is it’s own kind of adorable)
She was asking about the Payday candy bar…and the way she says “Payday” is really sweet. So much so that my oldest son had her saying over and over and over again!
It seems everyone is blogging these days. Go anywhere on-line and you’ll find links to someones blog. What are they blogging about? Everything. You name it, there’s a blog for it. Here are a few examples:
These are just a few of the many blogs I’ve seen in the past few weeks. If you have a passion, do a google search and you’re sure to find a blog for it.
As for me? Well, this blog will just be a little glimpse into our crazy world…have fun, enjoy, and remember to take a break now and then and go play with your children! ;-)
