A DAY in the Life of a homeschooler.....scratch that... ...Let's just start with {A MORNING!!}

Here they come.........










To home school... or not to home school... that was THE question for us over the last 2 years....and the final answer is....... !...........TO HOME SCHOOL!

For those of you who did not know... we pulled the kids home from school after spring break and two years at a private christian school and back to "Abbey Academy".


Oh I missed my kids while they were at school!!
It broke my heart sending my baby girl to kindergarten!! IT is my favorite grade to teach!!

I am one happy mama now with all my troops home with me!


Where they will stay (unless!!! we have another set of twins :)

We are busy busy and thought you might like to see WHY??!!


So many of you have said you don't know how we do it ..and there are days we don't know either!

BUT we do know this !!!

It is only by God's grace that this works and only b/c it is what HE wants us to do !!

We know it is not for everyone!!

HE gives his grace to us in LARGE deposits hourly!

AND ..now... you can see...just how good HE IS to me!!

PART ONE

A typical morning looks like this.... wake up.. make beds... help your younger "roommate" make their bed...get dressed help your little roommate get dressed....do your hair...help them do their hair ...While mom wrestles the two 40 lbs twins down to brush teeth shower change and dress:)... then down for breakfast served by the best boy breakfast team "00-2 and 00-4"....then after yummy crock pot oatmeal ..yep that's right!! Crock pot oatmeal !! Anything to save time and super easy for the boy team to serve to us all.. top with a bit of fruit and EAT!

Then it is onto breakfast clean-up ...everyone has a job.

Then calendar/ devotion time with all the Little's and the Big's. (..still in their jammies today )... Ahh the beauty of Monday's at home school .....>SO NICE!!....{we got dressed after devotion/calendar time}

I found these great pillows for them to sit on from Pottery Barn. They only go up to number 4 though, so the older two sit on a chairs behind the four "Little's" who need to be front and center. They each have their own number so they know where their bums need to be and stay he he..now i know why preschool starts at 3 years old and not 2!
