Homeschooling Perfection!

What a perfect homeschool moment! All of the kids at the table, working on age appropriate activities, happily learning together! Even the baby is coloring with his homemade toddler crayons! I should really just leave my post with this, but then I would be denying the reader the reality of the moment. Yes, it is true that in this brief moment the kids were being angels, but this didn't last long!


The true story is that we had been having a particularly hard morning. (Joseph is into everything and has made me rethink my school schedule for Isaac and Camille. They now do most of their school while Joseph is napping!) I was, however, determined that I could make this work. And I did, for a couple of minutes!


I do love homeschooling, and I am glad that we made the decision to walk down this road. I am also learning about flexibility, and what schooling two kids, raising a family, keeping a house and all of the other responsibilities I have looks like. It does look different than I expected, but it has been a great adventure so far! (And, yes, I did make the toddler crayons!!)
