“See? Isn’t all of life just a grand learning adventure?”

YES! Yes it is. And no matter what decision y’all come to, when you bear this in mind, your children will be so wonderfully and fully prepared for life!

We homeschool our two oldest, this is our second year. I had given up on school for this morning — they had a birthday party yesterday and have been happily occupied with gifts, why mess that up?! While eating lunch I told them a story about riding a bike down Pikes Peak and we discussed gravity and friction — so, we did school!

As for critters, when we moved into our current home we had to evict 16 SKUNKS from under the garage. Fun Times! Two weeks of trapping, and oh. the. smell. I was in the hospital having a c-section for our 4th child (4th in five years!) right in the middle of those two weeks:)

GO WITH THE HOMESCHOOLING!!!!!!!!

Sorry to shout, but I was excited. My family (5 kids) were all homeschooled and I can’t say enough good things about it.

We started homeschooling our 4.5 year old ‘officially’ this year. So far so good and I will say watching your figure stuff out that YOU explained is super fun. That said I think every stay-at-home mom is a homeschool mom in so many ways. Even with my 2 year old we are learning stuff everyday and I’m the one teaching him so … :-)

Props to you for taking a possible freak out moment and turning it into a teachable moment!!! Maybe that’s why God made me a girl mom ;)

A possum got into our kitchen once (okay, more than once, but they were different possums). Strangely, it was the rabbit who alerted us to the intruder’s presence. She would not. stop. stamping. STAMP STAMP STAMP. Because apparently that’s how rabbits sound the alarm in the wild. The stamping vibrates through the earth and can be heard down in their warrens as well as felt by the other rabbits in the vicinity aboveground. What the what, nature!

Anyway, I just thought the rabbit was being weird and annoying until the dog wouldn’t come to bed and was just standing in the corner, staring at the trash can. I went over to grab him and was hissed at most ferociously by a baby possum.

Yay animals!
