Updating

Hello all! I haven't posted in FOREVER!!! It has been busy around here.

Terri commented and asked me how the babysitting is going. So I thought I would post an update and let all of you know how it is going. It is great!

The kids are 13 and 7. They come 2-4 days a week and the 7 year old gets his school done pretty quickly. The 13 year old takes a little longer of course because she has more work. They are great kids. And it makes things easy for me because any new concepts they learn from mom and dad. And I don't have to check the work. They get that done at home. They use the same curriculum that we do so if they have any questions it is easy for me to help them. But they really just do it all themselves and I just make sure they stay focused and get it done. They get along really well with my kids. And we all go to church together so the kids already knew each other. The best part about it is that they don't get here until around 9 am!!! SO I don't have to get up really early to get them.

It is working really well for everyone I think.

I am having an interesting time preschooling Amber. She is SO independent. It will be different than teaching Jacob and I hope that I can handle it! LOL

And Nathan LOVES anything to do with ABCD's(as he calls it). I think it will be really fun when Nathan is starting school and I have all 3 of them doing stuff.

So things are going smooth here. We are getting lots of school done. Today we are going to hang out with another home school family for a little while. The kids need a fun day. So we are working to get school done early.

Hope you all have a great Tuesday!

Glad things are going smoothly for you and your family, Michelle. I know I haven't been over here in ages but you know how it is, I can't blog and get things done so sometimes the blogging just has to wait. Missed you though!

Love,
Dianne
