School Day

I know some of you wonder how we do school so I thought I'd give you a little look inside our school day. 
6:20 Samuel's alarm goes off and he wakes up.
7:20 I wake up
7:45 I take Samuel to school for his geometry class.
8:00 I get home, start a load of laundry, kids make breakfast.
8:45 I go back to school to pick up Samuel
9:00 back home, D,D,&A are ready for school, Samuel fixes breakfast
         I out clothes in dryer, another load in washer
         David and Daniel do english. Anna does spelling words and then reading
 9:45 Samuel joins us and does his geometry homework
          David and Daniel do spelling words, and literature
          Anna does math

10:30 Samuel does literature
           David and Daniel do English, then health, history and science
           Anna does English, history, science
12:00 lunch!

The times are approximate, the subjects vary from day to day. Somedays I teach History, and Science, other days they read their books.
We do school in the living room. I sit to the right of Daniel in a recliner and Anna and Samuel sit to the right of me on the love seat. 

We enjoy doing school this way. We are comprehensive in our approach. We want our children to have a well rounded, thorough education. We believe they are receiving it. They test well on regular school tests and standardized tests. 

I love having them home. Yes, I long for a day of peace, quiet and solitude, but I wouldn't trade this time with them. No, I don't have much patience. Yes, I yell at my children. I'm not some super mom, I'm just normal, and we homeschool.

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good p...

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu...
