First week of school

Well, we made it through the first week of school. I'm not gonna lie....It was hard, but that was my fault. I decided that we needed to cram in as much as possible in the first week of school to get a little caught up for starting too late. Smart, huh? But well, we made it through. The boys are champions!
We typically started the day with Bible class over breakfast. Then it's downstairs where the older boys do some seatwork while I teach Jakeb. Kaleb likes to sit in sometimes, and I let him. Poor Makenna is just stuck downstairs with us playing in the playroom or in the playpen. She likes to try to climb the stairs, but we fixed that problem...well...sort of...I'll show you that later.
Then when I finish up with Jakeb, it's Blake and Luke's turn. We still haven't' figures out exactly when to do science and geography. Sometimes we get to that, and sometimes we don't. Hey, I'm not perfect!
But like I said, we made it, and so far this week (It's only Tuesday.), it's going much better.

I know what you mean! I never thought homeschooling would take up so much time, but with little ones underfoot stuff gets done when it gets done. Good Luck ~ hope your second week goes well. We are almost on week 4 and so far so good.
