Or should I say "Daze"? That would be a little closer to how it's been feeling lately! We are all past ready for spring here. But for now it's nose to the grindstone. I think we all have spring fever though. It makes us laugh a little too hard at things like this in science.... I don't know who has had a harder school year so far. This little guy or mama. He did not like giving up his play time for school time this year. I know the feeling! He loved painting this pot for growing onions as a science experiment one day though. And I am learning how to use rewards as motivation... All year, at the end of each and every page, he asks "Am I done yet?". I was surprised by his attitude toward school this year because last year he had fun. I guess this school year the new wore off. That wasn't the end of the surprises for me this year though. Someone else decided they WERE ready for school. Lot's of school, or as he says after each and every page, "More." This smart little guy can sit for more then one hour straight. And he still wants more school. He's barely 4! And then there's the youngest... Have you ever taught with a toddler in the house? Kuddos if you have. Sometimes I don't know if I'll ever get used to it. But then again I didn't think I was used to all the noise that comes with this many kids until extended family comes to visit. They always comment on all the noise....and the funny thing is that my kids are quieter when we have company, lol! But busy toddlers have a way of "ruling the roost" so to speak. And eating school papers. Yes, I am serious. As dazed as I am, I must admit I am looking forward to April. It's the month that curriculum will be on sale and I will buy the next school years supplies. A lot of people don't know this, but homeschool parents pay for curriculum out of their own pockets. Yikes! Curriculum is normally one of the blessings for our family that I cover thanks to Shayla P. {Camera Artist}. In fact, all March long I am offering mini's at a discounted rate to raise money for next years curriculum, so if you need to update your kids portraits now is a great time! Just contact me here or at my photography page. This is our seventh year homeschooling, and this year has been exhausting for me. But it's been great for the kids academically speaking. We have found the perfect schedule and curriculum's for our family it seems!
