We're still doing school. ...What great cards! We're still doing school. Fortunately, we were ahead in our read aloud and I didn't even realize it. I had bought the books from my sister-in-law from several years ago, but am using a new IG. So, thankfully we were a week ahead (due to our having a different edition of Johnny Tremain). I'm kind of letting read aloud go for now, but the kids are doing all their independent work. I'm hoping by next week I'll be able to pull my weight in our homeschool again. Also, I've been having the kids read extra books, so they're doing great. And on days when I feel like a complete and utter failure, I remind myself that my two older kids are at least one year ahead in math and science. That takes the pressure off. We've been letting morning devotions and Greek slide, too. It's hard for me to have them up at 6:30 when I'm up in the night. I know this too will pass so for now I'm enjoying those night feedings. It's the only time I get the baby all to myself!<br /><br />And I think you're wise to plan your Christmas shopping so carefully. You really are an organizational genius! I know your family appreciates it!<br /><br />CeleeCeleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04958942308350578991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036528759304766052.post-57318275662145176432010-10-20T18:50:10.300-05:002010-10-20T18:50:10.300-05:00Happy Birthday(2 weeks post)!
