With our first week of homeschooling under our belts, I'm optimistic. The kids have embraced the rules and the new routine. Notwithstanding the complications of the hour each morning they all want my attention at the same time, we are getting the schoolwork accomplished by about 2pm. The house doesn't look all that bad, either. With each of the kids doing 5 chores a day, it's adding up quite nicely.Some say that being at home is a
thankless job. Well, it's not exactly a paying job, but it is full of rewards that are priceless. These are some of my wages for this week.

(last) I found this when 'grading' some phonics homework. I love brown-nosers.
"Not until after 4:00"; I love it!

Don't you just love Explode the Code?! Glad you're back in the groove and appreciated to boot!
We just finished week 1, as well, but it wasn't so peachy. Instead of crying a river here I decided to post on it myself.
It's so nice that you share all these sweet things! You're right about the rewards, though not material, they are priceless!

Yes, isn't it true that children are a reward from the Lord? (Psa 127:3 I think?) And I can't think of any greater joy than seeing them grown and learning together. Blessings on your journey!
Oh wow, that is wonderful!!! I am sure it just melted your heart.
We are having a good year thus far, but no sweet gift like that!
Hopefully we'll see you this week at the LHE cookout!
Love that!
I'd say you were paid a million bucks in value this week! What priceless gems :)
