Positive Changes

What a week!!! There has been so much going on! I told myself I was going to do my best to blog everyday, and I have been a very bad girl. I think I am finally settling into this new life we seem to have, so hopefully there will be more blogs more often. I'm not even really sure how I feel about blogging yet, but I'm trying it out at least. :)

This week was definitely a week of changes. Josh started his new job....BIG change! We are still getting used to his new schedule, and trying to get used to being quiet so Daddy can sleep in the mornings, but I am really thinking asking a 4 year old and 5 year old to be quiet all morning is WAY too much to ask of them. I told Josh he had to start wearing ear plugs! He is now, and I hope it's working. He needs to sleep, but I need to keep my sanity.

We also started homeschooling this week!!! YAY!!! Today is our third day and it is going so much better than I even anticipated. The first day was quite a load and yesterday was about the same, but today is mainly some reading and activity sheets, so it's a nice break for a Friday. Blaine is really enjoying every minute of it. I though the load of work would be too much on him and I had planned on maybe making some things optional or even leaving some things out to do as summer reading, but at the end of each day, we have done EVERYTHING, even the option activities and he asks for MORE! I love that little learning sponge!!

I am IN LOVE with Sonlight! I know it's only been three days, but I am pretty sure we will be a Sonlight family up until the end. I have never done anything that was so laid out and smooth as Sonlight. The have truly made homeschooling a blessing! The most work I have had to do so far is looking over the lesson plan the night before just to make sure I am familiar with what we're learning the next day, it takes all of 15 minutes. The next morning, I open the Instructor's Guide and start watching the magic! I am so glad God's hand was at work and everything worked out where we could do Sonlight. We really did think it would be impossible, but God had a plan.
