A great Monday!

Good morning world.  I am one happy Momma!  I love my boys!  And Tommy is home, finally.   After spending a week at The Timothy Group camp, he spent a week at Grandma's.  She paid for the camp and that was her condition.  I wrote a post a few days ago about confrontation.  I talked to her about giving gifts and putting conditions on her gifts.

So school in a few minutes.  I cannot wait.  I have been reading so much about different ways of homeschooling that I am going to be making some changes on how we do some things.

We have a classroom and for quite a while, we have been doing a lot of book work.  I  have forgotten to make this more fun.  Even in high school, homeschooling can be fun.  So, this morning we are going to do some journaling, write about things that we have been doing the past couple of weeks, then talk about what they are wanting to learn.

We have not done that in a very long time.  Part of their book work, they will take with us when I am at a cooking class this afternoon with their grandma.  I just want to make some changes now in the classroom.

P.J. is down in the classroom getting a fire started.  It is rather chilly in there as it was 41 when I got  up this morning and our classroom is a room in the barn.  Actually it is half of the barn.

This was from earlier this year.  Tommy and P.J.

David, his desk is right in front of mine.

So off to the classroom I go.

Be blessed and be a blessing,

Just some of my thoughts and actions,

Elizabeth
