Day 6000

How much information do you think we managed to cram into their little brains in approx 6000 days?

I dare say, not as much as I would like to.

We started homeschooling 17 years ago.

Here is a short trip down memory lane:

We visited a planetarium and learned about the stars

We went to the beach and played on numerous occasions-we brought our bible and had a devotional on the sand.

We visited and fed seals

We played games-we played games-we played games!

We started several businesses and had the kids help with filing etc...

We played hours and hours of Celtic music with the fiddle, guitar, tin whistle, keyboard and drum.

We talked to our kids almost non-stop

Here is a list of what we are doing now....

Our boys are preparing to give their first sermons at church

Our youngest is doing needlepoint, painting and listening to all kinds of music

Our kids are learning to compose music

Our son just opened his own online t-shirt shop

Our kids are learning Spanish

They also do their bookwork....math...civics...history....social studies...bible...reading....music theory...etc-

What a blessed homeschool we have had. I wouldn't trade those 6000 days with our kids for anything in the world. Just the thought of someone else getting to experience all of those things with my kids makes me sad!
