Homeschool mother's Journal

In my life this week...

I had lots of fun with my family.

In our homeschool this week...

We have read lots of Our Book, Fablehaven. It was due at the library and we had not finished so we spent quite a bit of time finishing up. We couldn't renew it. There was a hold on it so instead we hunkered down and finished we might owe a couple bucks to the library but hey, thats life. I have enjoyed reading this serious to the boys. I have always read non fiction books and then lots of historical fiction. I have a found a new love for the fantasy genre. We are on book 4 of a 5 book series and they just can's get enough I usually read 2 chapters most mornings but they beg for more every time. I really enjoy this time with them we talk about the word choices used by the author, the plot, make predications and look up what the monsters look like in the Dungeons and Dragons Monster Manual. I have to say I never thought this would be the kind of books I would enjoy but I have found a new love.

Places we're going and people we're seeing...

I went to a women's retreat and while I was there Buck took the boys to a book signing and a boat show. The rest of the week was pretty regular.

My favorite thing this week was...

Having a baby in the house, there is just something about them.

What's working/not working for us...

our schedule seems to be working well not too busy. But I suppose it will pick back up. I will just have to be very picky about what we add back into it.

Homeschool questions/thoughts I have...

Am I under emphasizing college to my children?

‎"life is so unfair," Ceridwen was saying " because it is you whose vision is too small. Mistakes may become opportunities; accidents may become a chance for redemptions. What seems unbalanced in a moment may become level over time, if only the canvas upon which your lives are painted is large enough"
