School?

Yesterday was one of those fun days where Mom goes to work and Dad stays home with the kids. The kids have been pretty sick all week, so school has been minimal, but he wanted me to leave something. I started to show him where we were in everything when he stopped me saying that he didn't want the math and English, he wanted some science and fun stuff (fancy that... I love the drills and rhetoric). It was so awesome to get a chance to really talk school with him, and he was enjoying it, too. So since neither of us was going to be working today, we decided to have our own little homeschool conference to decide as a family what we wanted for direction and goals. I've been so excited ever since! Then he got called in. grrrr But he went in before we all got up, so he may be home shortly after noon. Let's get this conference set up!! The nicest part was getting home last night and hearing how much fun they had with Dad. They usually run to me complaining about the substitute and how mean he is. That or I come home to find them playing poker. That's what every kid should learn! Anyhoo... I think he may also have seen why so much is still out when he gets home. It can be such a whirlwind to get everything done that you have planned, without losing their attention, that sometimes you can't clean up each subject before the next. So anyway, now it's my turn for clean up... but that's okay... I still don't have anything organized the way I want yet, so here's just further opportunity to get it right!!
