One of Leia's art work pictures. She drew one of her dolls front,back and side view. She said the last one included a different depth perspective.

Tomorrows stack of books that we have to do,plus the online assessments for each subject and if we get around to music. We have to learn 3 short songs ,their rhythms, and do some kind of activity. It's on a video and a CD. Thank goodness. She wouldn't want to hear me sing.

We had a wonderful day today. We got our schoolwork done in 8 hours. YIPPEE!!! That's better then 10. Plus we had no arguing. I think the thing that worked best was Math has to be done last. It's our hardest subject for her. We even went to the park today. She did so well I went and rented her a kid movie to watch from the Red Box. I told her all days should be like this and that we need to speed it up by 2 hours. But if things go smoothly I don't care that it takes 8. I just don't get anything done around here. I ran into another homeschooler yesterday. She has 9 kids that she homeschools. Correction 8 she homeschools the other one is a baby. I can't imagine it. But she uses a different program so maybe it's easier. She invited us over for lunch yesterday and we excepted. It was insane how well organized she was and how clean her house was. She was so calm and patient with the all of the kids.I could learn a lot from her.Plus her neighbor was there with her 2 kids and they were watching 2 or 3 other kids. I lost count. Plus add Leia and Ito the group. It was a very full house.Leia and I were the odd ducks,but it was nice to see another perspective of homeschooling.

Tomorrow I'm watching 3 kids. One's Ethan, Jens boy, and the 2 little girls. They are so so so good. They play very well and love to play dolls and dress up with Leia. She had a good time playing with them. I had them for about 5 hours yesterday. Unfortunately I won't have them for very long. Just 4 days out of the 2 weeks. I don't have the twin boys for another 2 weeks. Things are going OK with the day care stuff AND we;re getting a little bit better at the schooling stuff.We have so much to do tomorrow and I say this every time I don't think we'll finish,but I'm cutting it off after 7 hours. I need to get ready for the kids and Leia needs a break.(SO DO I)

Take care. Love you all
