Feb. 13, 2007 - Today I realized something incredible ...
we are really living this homeschool thing.
We no longer count hours of the day accounting for every moment of learning from a textbook. We worked on mental math during the basketball game ... we shopped for Valentine candy for dad and decided that even though truffles from the Fresh Market are just as expensive to buy 6 as to buy one ... six will make him significantly happier ... we sat on he couch and read for an hour, no threats, no bribes, no argument ... we created and learned the mnemonic device for the first 10 presidents (and learned what a mnemonic device is) ... worked on fractions ... played a geography game ... had fiddle lessons ... cooked supper ... played basketball ...
and never were the words "it's time for us to start school" uttered.
