1st Day of School!

 My attempt at a good picture of the three kids:

 "No, don't touch your nose, David."

 "A good one - but maybe I should get closer."

 "David, look at me, not at Amy."

 "David, don't be so silly."

 "Amy, look at Mommy!"

 "Hooray!"

 David built the above airport with airplanes while we were doing school.

 Our calendar fun (and learning) this year, thanks to a friend who gave it to us.

Homeschooling a 5 year old with 3 and 1 year old siblings underfoot is no easy task. It took me 3 hours to finish our first day of school, but the flow of our schooling had many interruptions (dirty diapers, snacks to fix for hungry kids, putting Amy down for a morning nap, etc.)  I'm hoping for more like 2 hours a day or less to do 5 subjects. We'll probably adjust our school schedule day as the days, weeks, and months go to better fit our family schedule groove, but all things considered, it was a terrific day!

Please pray for my eager learner and also for me to be a good Mom so we can have a fun and successful school year!
