play...

Being able to homeschool our children has been one of the hardest yet rewarding things
in our lives

If you homeschool, then you understand

If you don't homeschool, but have children, then you still understand how every life experience is a learning one....or at least it should be....

The family has been cut up this week, with two of our oldest away helping doing outdoor chores for their grandparents

which has given us an opportunity to just be with the smallest ones

Lots of playtime the past few days!!  Which quite frankly, I had forgotten about with all the nursing and writing I have been doing

Jason and the younger ones were outdoors yesterday, as per typical of a hot afternoon on the prairie, I chose to sit inside by the fan to cool myself off while nursing......and then it started to rain........


The children had their swimsuits on already from playing in the cowboy tub, so they stayed outdoors to play 

so I swept up Daniel to play......
lovin the mohawk


how fun it is to play!!!

  4. Dear Anne Marie,
    I have always had the greatest admiration for people who home school. I think it must be so difficult but, so rewarding and, I salute you and your husband. Your children are a credit to you and, they all seem so well rounded.
    Daniel is growing fast isn't he ? Our grandson is a couple of weeks younger than Daniel so, it's lovely to watch his progress.
    Wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend. XXXX

  6. Homeschooling is so rewarding. Not because I'm good at it, because I fail all the time, but because God is faithful in spite of me. We just finished our 16th year, and I wouldn't trade those years with my kids for anything.
    You put feelings into words wonderfully!
    Blessings,
    Marcia
