Whirlwind

Wow! What a whirlwind the first half of this school year has been. I can't believe it is 2009 already. It used to seem 2010 was so far away and now here it is only a year away.

Our new year began with such a bang it has been very challenging. The kids had a hard time settling back into their routine this morning so much so we now have a new posted schedule and school rules sheet complete with consequences.

I am finding it significantly more difficult to homeschool both of the kids this year but I am confident they will settle in and it is of the utmost benefit to them.

I love spending the time with my kids and they seen to enjoy the homeschooling experience. They got games and books for Christmas this year and didn't seem to mind a bit that they weren't getting all the high priced toys like the Nintendo WII. Jesslynn did get a Gameboy DS but that was the only high priced non-educational toy and they both got Brain-Age so really we can't complain. I think her favorite gift was a silly card game called "59 Seconds". Colton's favorite gift next to his Art Markers was his games "Artifacts" and "Carsonnone".

Well I must go and get the kids dinner before Karate. Praying tomorrow is a better day there are always a few rough ones after a vacation.

God Bless Everyone!
