Candy, at Keeping the Home had a good idea to do a day in the life of our children post. I know 5, 10, and 20 years from now, I'll cherish the memories of spending busy days with my children. I did a day in the life of my oldest and he loved me following him with the camera all day. We homeschool Mon-Thur, year-around. We're usually done around 12:30. This schedule is actually a typical Wed. We took off yesterday so we did that work today. A normal Thur would be mostly hands-on projects, experiments, and learning games.

This is a happy face at breakfast.


Quiet Time with Daddy. Daddy read about the Prodigal Son. My oldest recognized the story as being similiar to the story in Pilgrims Progress about the brothers Passion and Patience. He was right! Passion and Patience was an illustration of the Prodigal Son.

Thur, Fri, and Sat. are his game days so he played his game this afternoon, I snuck to the Library for an hour so no pics of game day. In the evening we read some books and a couple came to fellowship with us this evening and we all had a fantastic time.
