HOMEschooling

Good morning on this glorious day!

The sun is shining....

the birds are chirping....

coffee is brewing....

and the cows across the field are moooooooing. What a wonderful way to start the day!

We decided to do things a little differently this week. I thought we would do some HOME schooling as well as home SCHOOLING. Skippy and I felt that Kiddo should start taking on a little more responsibility and a little more helping around the house. He already helps with putting away the silverware, feeding the animals, cleaning his room, vacuuming the family room, and a few other chores. We want him to learn and develop more life skills for later on.

Kiddo is learning how to cook and he is doing a FANTASTIC job. He made scrambled eggs for breakfast and it was DELICIOUS! Then I showed him how to unload and load the dishwasher correctly, NOT the way he thinks it should be done. Boy, is he a quick study!!!

We then worked on some of his regular subjects before we headed off to do something FUN with my sister and her kids. After that, we did a quick run to the grocery store to pick up meds and a couple of things before we went home and had a dinner of leftovers. I love having leftovers as it makes dinner fast and clean up a lot quicker.

Today, we started off with sorting laundry and the reasons why we don't want to bleach a red pair of underwear with white shirts and socks. lol We then went through the entire washing process from start to finish, followed by learning different clothes drying techniques. Steven really enjoyed this and wants to know if we can HOMEschool everyday!

Homeschooling has been a remarkable and exciting journey for us. I can't wait to see what unfolds next year!
