When I've...Thank you for sharing so honestly. <br /><br />When I've really sat down to think about why I want to homeschool, I also think it's for me and not all for them. I love having them with me all day. I love the freedom of doing whatever it is I (notice I, not we) want to do. Which playdates I want, when I want to grocery shop, etc. Now I am more bound by getting things done during school hours (pre-k). I have often thought that I don't want them to be around certain types of behavior...but in the end they have to learn & grow. I can't keep them in a bubble forever.<br /><br />Oh, can you tell, I am wrestling the anxiety for the first day Thursday & Friday?<br /><br />Anywho....many blessings to you and your family as you blend together. I am glad you are going to have the opportunity to have some down time.<br /><br />AND...I love you humility in regards to the photos!<br /><br />God Bless you & yours!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611865831958609009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-1212836759112066122011-09-07T09:15:27.130-04:002011-09-07T09:15:27.130-04:00While there have been times when I've found th...While there have been times when I've found the idea of homeschooling tempting, for all the reasons you've mentioned, I have to say that it's good for me and my boys to take breaks from one another and for me to have a period of peaceful quiet. I bet the girls will love school, and you'll have more of yourself to give them when they get back home. Everyone wins!Left-Handed Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014518128739580267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-4896655158059322011-09-07T04:03:56.023-04:002011-09-07T04:03:56.023-04:00Well I hope the kids have a fantastic year and I w...Well I hope the kids have a fantastic year and I will say a prayer indeed ...we had many discussions as well and settled on the same were trying it out and have no problem with pulling our kids out if were not happy with how it is going ~Have fun homeschooling Peanut ~Love HeatherHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07044431563691532656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222945587640777221.post-41389324422882241632011-09-06T23:18:17.247-04:002011-09-06T23:18:17.247-04:00Oh, I pray this year is a great year and you get t...Oh, I pray this year is a great year and you get the much needed time of quiet for a few hours each day.

I can tell they're all very smart!<br /><br />Aww the bonding process. Pretty familar to us. Each situation is different, and I DO NOT want to judge any decisions you made. I think that adopting older children is a little bit tougher, because they are old enough to understand more than the littles. I pray that the transitions all go well. I know there will most likely be bumps in the road, but I know God will walk you through it together.<br /><br />Oh I'm sure the pictures were just fine! Plus, pictures aren't always nessacary. Maybe tomorrow... :) Can't wait to hear how their day was today!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />~MichlynMichlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733034144797526387noreply@blogger.com
