Tuesday Pays

Life is learning.



Having known this before beginning the homeschooling adventure,
it is only highlighted through our time in the classroom together.





But it is not there that learning stops.



No, outside of these four blue walls,
learning continues.

Even at the Fabric Shop when your name is Warrior and you decide to CLEAN teh bolt of black batik fabric with 13 dollar soap that is waiting to be bought.



Learning to the tune of two weeks of extra chores and just under $60. Yep. Life is learning.



Mascot takes a turn learning at the church carnival. He knows how to make learning fun!

As for the motivation to learn...Student chooses sour straws today!

Monday Clarity

If there's one thing set straight on this Monday morning at the Homeschool...



Teacher thinks it'd be the lack of clothing...



and haircuts in this place.

However, beginning with hot apple cider, Teacher thinks it is all bearable.



Speaking of Mondays, Student and Warrior are brushing up their Christopher Columbus knowledge with a few poems prior to the Holiday next week.



Warrior reads to earn computer tokens.



And even lets Mascot look on!



Finishing up the newly-learned skill of addition,
Warrior joins Student for a walk in the rain as Mascot naps.



As for Teacher, the day ends with quilting!
Sew and sew some more.


For she makes coverings for her bed. Prov 31:22

Friday Coop Class

Yes, this semester of coop class
has brought many blessings
to the Homeschool.

Student has seen God answer prayers for friends.
Warrior has bigger boys to tackle.
And Mascot gets more Teacher-time!

Thank you, Lord for the home-educators that came before
and those that you will call after us.

May You get the glory.

Thursday Catch-Up

Those days when so much is accomplished,



in spite of one's efforts...



proof there is a God!



And He cares about every detail of our lives!

As for the truth of life,
others aren't always thankful for the effort of others.



Yes, Warrior is trying to record that Teacher, aka mom,
is rude. Yes, you read it right!

And still, learning and life go on.



Mascot still likes trucks and books.



And Student still trusts Teacher for her Table of Contents knowledge,



and gives attention to her concordance as a reliable student should.



Not by a standard of perfection, does the Homeschool succeed,
but by a standard of GRACE.



And cross country running...that's the secret recipe for sanity, in a day at the Homeschool!
