Summer quickly rolled into fall and so begins the home school experience! If you had asked me about home school about 13+ years ago I would have told you all those families were NUTS and I would NEVER teach my kids at home... Let me post this settle reminder: NEVER SAY NEVER! It has been the learning experience of a lifetime. I chose to home school not because I wanted to but because I felt it was the best circumstance for Keagan in particular, for the time being. Will I home school next year? Ask me today and I will tell you that you could not pay me all the money in the world to home school again, tomorrow may be a different answer. The trials and triumphs have been amazing and I wouldn't trade them for the world. I have learned more about the boy's personalities in the past 5 months than I have in the past year. I have learned to stretch myself when I think there is nothing left. I taught Skyler to read!! I love to hang out with Keagan and learn history, he loves history! Math, well, that is a different story. I love that I can use everyday living to supplement our curriculum. I even used sorting laundry for one of Skyler's math lessons! FANTASTIC!!
