Back to Homeschooling


We've gotten back into as much of a groove with homeschooling as we're likely to get into for now. We have added lots more activities to the weekly schedule. After weeks of being virtually snowbound, I was eager to get out and about, and I think the kids were too, judging from the kinds of (mis)behaviors I was observing (being driven nuts by) . And then a week of musical stomach flu didn't help matters. But we did manage to paint our "town board" above- it was a group effort and it is going to be used for some school stuff with Lucy. Fun!

And now we're considering a couple mornings a week of preschool for Jasper, Lucy is in Northwest Girlchoir and will be taking classes in pottery, book-making, and drama in addition to circus. And we're going to do more Seattle Homeschool Group playing - we went to the Park Day today for the first time in a while and were pleased to see lots of familiar faces. I had nice conversations and Lucy got to play with other kiddos she is beginning to be friends with. Jasper just does his own thing but enjoyed the fresh air and exercise.

If you haven't ever watercolor painted in your jammies with a 3 yr old and a 6 yr old, I recommend it. Make yourself a cup of coffee first though (decaf for me these days).

Lucy made a doll and Rob made a carrot cake - yum!

April, I love the "Town Board" - It is beautiful.
Wish we had a slice of Rob's Carrot Cake, mmm mmm good!

By chance did you read the "Catching-up" post of mine?
