The Joys!

I won’t lie, home schooling can be quite difficult at times so it is necessary to delight in the plain goofy.  Just a few short stories of :“Things That I Never Would Have Witnessed If I Didn’t Home school”  Unnecessarily long title. . . I know!

Just earlier this week: I had the pleasure of checking over my boy’s work, to find on THREE of his blanks for a science work sheet --with this filled in:  IDK -- IDK -- IDK.   To make it even more fun ~ that was three out of only five questions total for that day!

Or this, going about the normal day.  If any day is normal.  Kids are taking their lunch break.  What is in my hair???  A Lego?!  Really-a Lego.  Not just in my hair.  Specifically Tied in my hair.  Of course I had to ask about it; it was from Kaleb--and--it had been in for a few hours.  Hmm...

Logy, newly attached to a stuffed animal.  Found in the basement - used to be his sisters.  Now it is his precious animal.  Carries it around the house.  Makes us all kiss it.  Sometimes he needs to be wrapped in his blanket.  And if you squish its belly it makes noise too!  Except, now it’s old.  So to make the noise, you have to punch it. . .quite generously.  Logy let me know "Puppy" -cause that’s its name-has a birthday in 2 days.  Then asks very seriously, “What will you get him for his birthday?”  I reply. .”Cookies.” thinking--sure, I can deliver on that if I must.  He then replies, “Me and Puppy. . .share everything.”   He repeated this same questioning to other members of the family as well.

It is so easy to dwell on the difficulties of life.  But it is much more beneficial to spend more time being thankful, and dwelling on the Joys.
