Nah, not too many cookies baking at my house. We're more apt to have banana bread or homemade soup.
Today we had our homeschool group "National Day" celebration, with about 25 families contributing displays and about 50 other "visitors" touring the US. Then we went to the library and checked out 33 books, drove home and everybody read. DS worked on his typing (he's up to 26 words a minute without mistakes- slow but making steady progress) and my DDs watched "Fetch". Then it was time for dinner.
Some days we seem to be very busy but get little accomplished, while other days the kids are on fire with their learning. Like anything else, homeschooling has it's ups and downs. My perspective is to try to ensure that something gets done, though I am not usually very fussy about what it is. DD 3 (almost 4) recently has been making tremendous leaps in her reading ability and has been drawing incredibly detailed people and animals. A few months ago, all she wanted to do was math. It all seems to balance out, and if I feel it isn't, I step in and "require" more of a certain subject.
