The first day of school I always have this perfect idea in my head that my kids are going to cooperate by waking up at a reasonable time, eat breakfast, clean them selves and sit at the table demanding to be educated. This is our first day of school, homemade monkey bread with little kids insisting on helping Mama make. 30 minutes later with sticky sugar/cinnamon hands and a pile on the floor it's accomplished. Emerging from his warm bed the 3rd grader with sleep still in his eyes asking "Why are we starting school now? It's not even fall yet." "Can't we just wait." "No we can't"
On Lord help me get through the day!
People wonder why I chose to home-educate, I have no perfect answer just that the Lord has called me to do this. I love it, it's hard, and humbling but I would not change it.
I love seeing my kids face's light up when they learned something new or something old that they finally "get." So I will take the sticky hands and the attitudes just to continue this journey with my kids.
Here are some pics the original pics I had got um well erased so these will have to do.
