Monday, monday, monday



Soccer practice for the middle munchkins tonight!
I guess that means...



sloppy joe's for dinner!

Easy squeezy dinner for me to make and clean up!

Loving that Aimee is home with her studies too!




We are having some really great conversations. I am loving that I get the blessing of watching her brain wrap around ideas! I should have done this sooner. I think the best thing is the History that we are studying is showing how religion is such a part of all that we do. She has had many great questions about these things, like
how do the religions differ if we all believe in the same God?

I love it!

The only hard part is the lesson plans.
I have such a hard time with those. I want to plan so much and then as I am talking with her I think of different paths we could take to get to the answers she is seeking. That means I have to redo the lesson plans like almost daily! Yes she will still learn core concepts, but to be able to expand on these subjects in the areas she chooses to question is awesome.



That is my motto of the day and for this school year:

HAPPINESS

We had Tex Mex Chicken for dinner, very similar to Sloppy Joes, but with chicken.

I love that you are enjoying your discussions with your daughter. My most vivid memories of homeschooling are discussions I had with my mom and siblings as we stood around working in the kitchen!

Blessings,
