Our Current Curriculum for Son (age 5) and Daughter (age 3)

I always find it interesting to hear what other people are doing during their homeschool hours, so I thought I would post what we have ended up doing this year with my son, age 5, and daughter, age 3.

Fall Musings

I stand in the driveway on a gray and rainy day. I was taking out the trash, but am momentarily distracted. The sound of the rain on the hood of my rain jacket, the chilly fall air, and the brilliant display of fall colors in the trees makes me wish I were far away from the comforts of my warm, dry home. I close my eyes. The rain sounds the same here and I can almost feel the trail beneath my feet.

New Mom Thoughts From 2005

I came across this unfinished rambling I began writing five years ago, soon after my oldest son turned one.
