Don’t give up on home schooling yet! 🙂 Keep on keeping on and before you know it God will fill in all the spaces that you don’t meet. You children will be growing and gaining in ways you never thought possible. Just keep praying. Schools near us have been letting out early because of the heat. They get to school, do a bit of work, eat lunch, and return home. Are they getting all that you are giving your children? Even if the ARE getting through math and reading in the same day, those children are not getting the training or the love that you are able to give yours every day.
Keep the faith!! It is worth it! Hugs!

In reply to queenmommyjen. We had an amazingly successful trip. I am getting so close to having a babysitter!! It is such a game changer. Oh, I would have never gotten these before I was teaching.

Fixing the sinks?! Oh that is just too cute! Did you make it back in one piece? I hired the 11 year old last week to take care of the toddler and the 7 year old so I could go to Costco without all of them. Best 2 bucks ever! P.S. I didn’t answer all of the questions right 🙂 Time for a refresher!

In reply to McMom. I love how fascinated small children are by people that come and work on the house. That's our public school education. That's why you'd miss the history one. i would have too. Actually, before this year, I would have missed ALL of these. So you're sitting pretty in my book. I'll be happy to send you the Usborne link! And always THANK YOU for the prayers. God really spoke to me today. Prayers are so vital.

In reply to Nana. Me neither! The plumber told me. The grocery expedition went so well that the cashier convinced me to buy them a bar of chocolate to share. LOL. My helpers were the envy and show of the store. Ha! They really are pretty great.

We had a plumber come out a couple of weeks ago. For the next week, every time we used the sink in the guest bathroom, we heard “Mr. Jeremy fixed it!” I got all the questions but the history one, sadly. I made up a “rap” of sorts when I had to memorize prepositions (I think I was in 5th or 7th grade, maybe?) and I still remember most of it. I made a recording of myself singing it and listened to it over and over to learn it for the test. I’d love an Usborne link – I may order something. They do have great books. A morning walk with 4 boys? Impressive! I saw a lady going down our street today pushing a stroller and pulling a wagon with 2 kids in it, that appeared to be around 2 years old. You’re “stubborness” to finish out this year is admirable. Praying for you!
