Peek-a-boo, Remember me?

Homeschool in 30-60 minutes- Really?

There's something that's been bothering me lately about homeschooling. Maybe some of my homeschool mom friends can clear this up for me. My question is this:

How much time does it take to homeschool a kindergartener?

Flashback to 2008 when Austin was the baby

 These are all pictures of Austin when he was David's age. Other than the hair color, I think they definitely look a lot alike.



A Week of Birthdays

Joseph and I are one year and two days apart, so we've always celebrated our birthdays together. (Joseph's the older one.) One fun thing about having birthdays two days apart is that we get to take advantage of free birthday meals at the same time. Today we went to Captain D's. Austin was in school, so we just had David. He just eats ketchup, so we didn't have to buy him anything. :) Just kidding.... sort of. I was going to share my fries and fish, but he really didn't want anything except my soft drink... and ketchup, of course.

Oats

Yesterday, Austin's teacher said something about Austin and "oats." It was loud, so I didn't catch all of what she said. I assumed she said he was sowing his oats. (I'd heard the expression but wasn't sure what it meant.) Upon googling around, I'm pretty sure she said Austin was starting to "feel his oats." (being playful and energetic) If he was sowing oats at this age, we would need to seriously reconsider this whole public school thing! Yikes!
