One step

One small step for mommy and the boys, and giant leap for homeschooling...

Well, maybe not that dramatic... today we had a mini-lesson for homeschooling. NO our curriculum hasn't arrived (much to my disappointment), but we hung up the wipe off calendar and spent about 20 minutes talking about it and how it works and writing in some important dates for August! I'm hoping that by having this calendar up, and using it daily, that maybe some of the fussiness we experienced last year won't be there because they can visually see how much longer (week wise) we have before they have a break.

Things they helped label on our calendar: our swim playdate tomorrow, when we go to Holy Mass, Snookie's birthday, and the date of his party, Daddy's birthday... that sort of thing. It was fun, we reviewed days of the week with Spiderboy... and we talked about what a month was, and how many days make up August. The only downer was for Bubba when we couldn't put his birthday up there... because it is in September! This was very sad for him, bless his sweet little Bubba heart!
