Day 10 More than just books....

Homeschooling is more than just teaching from books. Yes, Reading, Writing and Arithmetic are important, but so is knowing how to clean and cook. It's not just for girls. Both my older boys love to help cook. And they do a pretty tasty job at it too. Trevor and Patrick are responsible for keeping their rooms clean, making their beds, folding their own laundry and doing their monthly chore ( floors or dishes).

Day 9 Saturday mornings

It's 9:44 am on a Saturday morning. Here's a glimpse into my morning....

I'm working on my Tastefully Simple party from last night. 

Annabelle is taking a morning nap. 

Trevor still sleeping. 

Phillip watching cartoons. 

Patrick making breakfast; chocolate chips pancakes. 

Saturday mornings were made for sleeping late, chocolate chip pancakes and cartoons. 

Enjoy your Saturday!

Day 8 TaeKwonDo Thursdays

The boys have been going to Taekwondo for several months now and love it. They are working hard on learning new forms so they can test for their yellow belt soon. 

Day 7 A Glimpse of Phillip

A game of Candyland with Patrick during breakfast. 

Helping Mommy change the sheets. 

The correct way to put a pillow case on is to put it on yourself first, then take it off and put a pillow in it. 

Popcorn snack and an unfair dealing of Spiderman Go Fish! He gave me 4 cards and kept he rest for himself. Needless to say, I lost before the game even started. 

I wonder what's in this package....

Bedtime story with a piece of cheese. 

Day 6 Staying Organized

Staying organized. That's not an easy task with having 4 kids, especially when your children misplace almost everything.

I had purchased 3 of these drawer carts sometime last year, one for each child. I have another year or two before I need one for Annabelle; unless I find another way to stay organized.

The idea behind having a drawer cart with labels was to incorporate the workbox system for our school work. Since most all of our school work is done on the computer, these carts contain their notebooks and any papers/lapbooks they are working on. 

The labels are removable and can be attached to their  "Look what I did today" sheets.
