Homeschooling

Every couple of weeks in a school term, we have what we call a "homeschooling day". Basically, we go to another family's house along with their kids and another family of kids, and we school there for a day. By doing this, two of the mums (there are 3 families that participate) get a day off, and we kids get to see our friends and have fun. Today we went to the Packers house. Because Joe and Lisa are finished school for the year, they played Monopoly with Daniel P. who's also finished for the year. I finished my schoolwork before lunch, as I think almost everybody else did. However, after lunch, we don't do anymore school even if we still have some left. We choose to do that either later on in the day, or the next day (unless our mums say we can leave it:) ). This way we all get to spend the afternoon together. This afternoon we girls watched about 4 Christy movies. Elyse P. did some beading, but the rest of us just sat there and watched the movie. Normally, I'll do some beading or knitting or some craft while watching the movie. Quite often we will bead all afternoon, or paint our nails, or cook..... The boys generally watch a movie of their own, or play outside, or play on the computer, or play a video game.... We always have an awesome time, and my thanks go out to the mums that thought of this!!!
