As for school, it was an interesting Monday. We had an 8th-grade girl here as a "helper" since she was suspended from school this week. She did a great job cleaning the floors for me and hanging up loads of baby clothes (oh, and folding 2 loads of laundry--yay!) I was amazed at how nice it was to have a girl that age getting things on my list done while I taught my children...felt very efficient!
Beau and Geneva do not have the fine motor skills to make letters yet. I knew Geneva would be challenged with it, but I don't think Beau is quite ready either. They both did GREAT at the Math meeting calendar, however! They picked right up on the color pattern, and they managed to say the date. They are also doing well with the Genesis memory verses.
"The Dragon and the Raven" by Henty continues to be very exciting! I am enjoying studying that time period this way. The kids also enjoyed the creation science video about dinosaurs. I even managed to get my workout in today during Latin...I did Turbo Jam Fat Burner and I have been suffering a headache tonight to celebrate. I ALWAYS get a headache first day back, so I'm hoping it clears soon. I am hoping to see some benefit from the Shakeology drink I have for breakfast. It should be a very good thing...hard to see the results clearly, however.
I'm dull tonight (probably due to the headache) so off to bed I go. Oh, look...the time is even earlier than last time! That's progress!!
Bottom line: I am REALLY loving schooling my kids. The very, very best thing of all is that I am with them during the part of the day when I am fresh and cheerful. So we are having a constant party...of course, having Bailey here helps make the party run smooooothly....:)
