I woke up yesterday morning and realized that so far this year I haven’t taken any photos of Mak at school. And school has been a pretty big deal for us this year, so I feel that it deserves to be documented. Besides the whole “birthing him” event, I’d say teaching him has been the...
I really like this kid. A LOT. I really really love his real smile. He makes me laugh a thousand times a day. He is completely and totally NUTS and a lot of times that makes me feel like I am going NUTS. He makes disgusting noises and thinks he is the funniest thing ever....
He is awesome. My boys would love him.
I get the noises! I TOTALLY get the noises X3,like surround sound. They only really bother me in the car, when I’m trying to converse with the driver. Not a car ride goes by that I don’t have to yell, “STOP with the NOISES!”
Your talk about homeschooling is…I don’t think convicting is the right word. It definitely makes me consider it strongly. I know the day is coming. Simon got in trouble for the first time ever last week. For noises. He pointed his sandwich and made a gun noise. I almost wish they had pushed it more, especially the gun part,so I could watch Sean come unhinged on the public school system. 😀ReplyCancel
I think the Lord gives Southerners days like this past Sunday so we will have the strength to make it through the long, cold winter. 😉 Sunday morning was a rough one for our family. It seems we were all fussing with each other about everything. It was all we could do to make it...
This Christmas was a different one for us. It started out pretty normal and pretty great. We spent the day at home on Christmas Eve. Mak made a present for Santa, Clara Beth wrote him letters on post-it notes and put them on the fireplace screen. I still can’t believe my kids are old enough...
where your kid just makes you laugh? I mean that really great laugh. That laugh that leaves tears rolling down your face and your belly hurts just a bit. Collin and I had that laugh tonight. Over Mak. Oh. My. Gracious. We LOVE this kid. I have no idea what we would ever do without...
I loved all you had to share. You are doing a fantastic job as a momma AND a teacher! What a gift you are giving him! The school room is fantatic:) Almost makes me wish we were home schooling so we could do a fun room! I know it’s so much more than getting a fun room though:) Everyone has an opinion about everything… it’s just hard when its something you care so much about and their thoughts are on the opposite side. I’m going back to work part time b/c I miss it and I feel that it is part of my ministry area He has called me to… just like staying at home the past 5 years was what He called me to as well. Yes, I get “the look” when people find out I’m choosing to return to work. It’s like I’m feeding my kids to the wolves:) I pray it works out for us and we survive the transition. I also pray He will guide me and allow me to see if this is not working for our family. We are also blessed that we will not have to choose daycare for our kids to do this. Will never know till I try! I’m so happy you tried and it has worked so well for your family! I’ve enjoyed your homeschool stories…keep ’em coming!
Very%20well%20written%2C%20Aron!!!%20Cannot%20wait%20to%20join%20the%20adventure!
AMEN ARON! I LOVE this post. This topic is one that is close to my heart. Now having a baby and being a teacher makes me realize everyday that homeschooling seems more and more like the best way to teach a child. It’s sad that homeschooling has such a stigma attached. Mama’s are supposed to teach their children -whether it’s manners or math – that’s our job! 🙂
Go ahead with your bad self! There are people out there that give homeschooling a bad name, but I think 99% of homeschooling parents are in it for the right reasons. I look forward to joining in, too. 🙂
