Mondays

I don't know about other stay-at-home moms out there but I think Monday is the hardest day of the week!!! It is a challenge to homeschool without the added load of housework and two kids running around. Lately the kid's attention span has been very short---I have really had to be on them to concentrate the past two weeks. We are on the "home stretch"---I am actually decreasing their work load so their work is spread out-otherwise they would be done in a week or two! I will be very thankful when the last day is over. I am proud of my kids--they are doing well. They have had areas of difficulty like any other kid. I realize there are alot of people out there that scoff at homeschooling and make fun of it but I guess they don't hear who wins NATIONAL spelling bees and various other NATIONAL rewards!!!! Anyway, God has really helped me. I couldn't do it without Him.
I am so glad that warm weather has arrived!! My family LOVES the outdoors---we spend as much time outside as we can. We dislike living in town but we have two neat parks close by. Heritage Park has mountain bike trails that we love to bike on! My kids are troopers--you wouldn't believe the trails they rode their bikes on last summer!! Now that I have a blog I will have to post pics throughout the summer.
I need to attend to the housework now that my kids are almost done with their work. So long!

Lydia, you have to do what you think is best for your family. Don't let people bother you. I know I can't wait for school to be over myself. Then I can sleep in, if you can sleep in with a baby :) Tristen is done this week with school. I couldn't believe he gets out that soon!!! Those trails are fun to ride on and the kids do have fun! I guess I didn't do very much riding last year because of being pregnant but it was fun anyway. Keep encouraged!! I pray for you and your family!!!! Love, Tanj

I envy you for homeschooling your kids! I don't think I could do it, but I guess, with God all things are possible:o)
I wouldn't worry what others think...who cares!!!
I hope you post pics of your kids soon.........I like to see what other families are up to! I can't believe the girls are as old as they are already!!!!! It doesn't seem possible!!!
Love.
