We’re Like “Real” Homeschoolers
I kept telling the girls what we did in the spring, and even the first six weeks of the school year, wasn’t what real homeschool is like. The people I know that have always homeschooled are very social and have plenty of extracurriculars. Of course being pretty much fully locked down does not allow for that so they did not have the best opinion of it at first. (Well, Katie’s always liked it- I really mean Lil) But that has all changed in the last couple of weeks. 
They love the schedule flexibility and the fact that they can do work even while we sit outside Matt’s doctors appointment or the groomer and that when Katie is not really in the mood we can watch the Abeka teacher together with her in my lap. (In fact, she says she wants to keep being a homeschooler until middle school. I don’t know what will happen but I love that she loves it.) Lilli REALLY liked the fact that she had her first book report this week that was a pretty big project but even her “homework” was still done by 4 o’clock.
We had recess at the new Bossier park with Cara and Josie one day. Lily came for swimming P.E. and we have plans to do something outside nearly everyday next week since the weather will be perfect. So excited for fall and the excitement of the holidays! The new decorations Matt fixed up for me outside make me very happy! I’ve always wanted the Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin patch in my front yard and finally have it. And I love the Frankenstein that Katie made from extra wood we had from building the garden beds. Lilli’s working on a Spookley (the square pumpkin) from a piece too. I know I’ll love pulling these out year after year. ❤️
