Moments To Remember: Blessed

I hate to sound like a bragger, but I am really blessed with children who are thoughtful and caring. On Valentines I found my breakfast waiting for me in my favorite spot in our classroom. It was definetly a surprise seeing that we are quickly moving every morning to get Michelle to school on time. They did the best they could with the time they had. It was the best breakfast I had in a very long time!

Moments To Remember

Just last summer when we were outside playing kiddie golf. Ken was passed a pencil by her dad to record her score, boy did she frown when she realized a pencil was involved. Learning was a chore for Ken it was not something she was into doing unless she was made to do it. Fast forward to now, after a couple of months of homeschooling, Ken is back to having fun learning new concepts and is even enjoying doing math. Ken just recently has become to question what she reads, researches the findings out, writes daily on her own in her journal, and even discusses her lessons with anybody who has the time to listen to her go on and on about her latest new finds. This girl actually becomes a little upset at the end of the work period, and always says she needs more time!

I captured a picture of Ken while she was doing math work in the elementary series of Life of Fred. I caught her more than once smiling with excitement as she was reading along. Ken has some moral issues with this book, but it is motivating her to become a critical thinker. This is definetly a moment to remember!!

Two Peas In A Pod: Moments To Remember

Often times get crazy here during our "learning times". Ken wants to do some work that DJ is doing or vice versa. Sharing among these two at times can be a battle. Especially if you understand how DJ works, he wants to do anything that Ken can do. I know why, but most of the time Ken dosen't understand that it is her being his big sister that he looks up to and wants to know as much as his role model. Prayer changes things a lot, and sometimes when your not expecting it to change it just slaps you right in the face. I caught my blessing unfolding right before my eyes.

I love this photo it is a pefect example of a big sister, little brother bonding. Ken was so excited that DJ would allow her to facepaint his face. DJ was busy doing something else.

 The reason this is the moment I want to remember, they both are following each others' interest and getting along really, really well!  What a combination who would of thought Legos and Facepainting would of caused such a harmonious moment between two siblings.                                                                         

Our homeschooling journey has no clear boundaries between school time and what is life, it is becoming a very important part of our daily lives. I sometimes become juggled around a bit and lose sight of what our goals are. One of them is to help foster a bond between my children, this moment allowed me to put everything back into perspective.
