Today in Homeschool...

I feel like the majority of my daily energy is rarely documented. I spend so much time thinking about, planning and executing homeschooling activities, but because it's not out of the ordinary, it rarely is blogged about. So here are a few snippets from our day today:


Claire colored each page of her book a different color, so I wrote the name of each color on the page. Then she told me the name of different shapes that I drew on different pages and then she colored them in. 


The older two decided to make different versions of the "3 Little Pigs." Last week we read multiple versions of several classic stories. Their favorite was, "The 3 Little Javelinas." Ruth's story is about 3 meerkats and the big bad hawk. Will's is about 3 saber-tooth tigers who are attacked by the Terror Bird!


Library time


Also, I figured it's time I wrote about this so there is a record of it somewhere. Valentine's Day this year I had yet another miscarriage, I was 9 weeks along. The kids didn't know so it wasn't devastating to them like it was two summers ago, which I'm thankful for. It's taken until now for me to be okay with it. I really would like another child and don't want them separated by too many years, but alas, the timing was not right. For now I'm, once again, trying to get control of my body and make healthier choices.
