In the beginning...

We created a homeschool.  It was without chalkboards, desks, and a globe (sigh--the sigh is only about the globe, though.  I couldn't care less about the chalkboards and desks.), and the spirit of learning moved upon the house.  I said, let there be school!  And there was school.  And I saw the school that it was good.

Okay, okay.  That's as far as I can take it.  It's lucky that I'm not God!

Anyway.  It's official.  We have begun homeschooling!  I wish I would have taken a picture, but I forgot.  We still don't have all our books, but that's okay.  We started anyway.  I wasn't actually planning on starting today, because I haven't typed up my schedule yet, or the plan for the week (or day, as the case may be), and I need to get some books from the library, but Anthon kept asking if he could do some school, so I pulled some stuff out and let him get started.  I thought after one assignment, he'd be done. Not even close.  That was at 9:30 this morning and he's still asking for more work, at 2 in the afternoon.  We've taken a lot of breaks, of course, to jump on the trampoline, or have snacks.  But he keeps coming back.  And so does Erilyn.  Fun, fun!

I'm pretty naive, but not so naive as to think it'll be like this everyday.  It's a good start, though.

Hooray for not having to go to school at 7:30am!  And hooray for being able to do school in our jammies if we feel like it! (And today, I feel like it. It's been a long week.)  And hooray for recesses every half hour!  And hooray for being able to do your work while sitting on an exercise ball instead of a stiff chair!  And hooray for trampolines for P.E.!  And hooray for afternoons at the park with friends!

Hooray!
