First day of 1A12

We had such a nice week off. It felt like a month! It was so refreshing to have NO SCHOOL at all. ;o) Lots of playing, enjoying life & hanging out with Super Dad. Eventhough we have our "light days," I think we still get a little burnt out. It felt really good to just relax and be Mom again.

This week we're hitting the books again though.

We started today by reading our scripture & that took MUCH longer than I expected. Thankfully I didn't read it. I planned on using the audio bible I mentioned in the last post, but it wasn't working for some reason. So I did a search and found the audio gateway bible. That worked ok, but it was kind of slow. The other bible we have used tends to talk faster so it doesn't take as long. It took hours (ok, I don't know how long exactly but it felt like a long time since we had to start and stop in between so many times because of interruptions.) While we were listening we would stop it also to make sure that everyone was following and to write our notes about the outline. That's what we usually do, then pick the most important 4 to draw. So, we did that.

AND...that's all we got done.
Yep.

Ok, Superkid did some independent work too, but the reading alone took so long that I just said, "Let's put away our school books & go play outside!"

I am so thankful for these precious times I have to enjoy my children. That I am able to slow down and enjoy the quiet moments and the not so quiet ones as well. LOL!
