I have accepted that my family runs off schedule and late to everything no matter how hard we try. That being said it was a while before I could post this blog because we tried hard to stay on schedule! Well we did it yesterday!! We made all of our morning runs, went to the gym, hit the library for story time (I was a little sweaty but no one seemed to mind) then back home and in full school mode! G man started off strong with some picture drawing in his journal about our butterfly hatching, then on to reading/phonics, then we of course took a scheduled break because Little miss has a rough time without a game or puzzle break! After regrouping with some calendar time and songs he is ready for math where he rocked some simple subtraction!!! Lastly we return to our butterflies where we get to do a cut/color/paste activity over the life-cycle.
(We are impatiently waiting to see our butterflies!)Whew... we were busy busy busy!! We stayed on schedule, we rocked school, we tackled some chores, and we even squeezed in Mommy's full time job!! ;) It was wonderful!! We didn't get as much done as far as house work goes but we did better then what would have normally happened.

Day 4: Throw the schedule out the window and just read!
That is exactly what we did. We threw tossed a day and devoted it to reading. We started out (after the gym) at the library. We had the best time sitting and reading on the carpets, playing with the puppets, and enjoying the reading games on the computers. After the library we had to go get the oil changed in my vehicle and G man took a book inside which was great because we had PLENTY of time to read while we waited.
At the library we got a road sign ABC book which was so fun for G man while we were in the car! Carschooling at it's finest!! He was so excited that he knew some of the words in this harder book and he could determine what the other words meant from the picture on the sign. My favorite was the sign with the fire truck on it on the F page. G man said proudly I know this word says Fire but this other one should say truck but it starts with "s" instead. I had to glance back at the next stop to see that it read Fire Station.
Little miss picked out a board book, as usual, at the library but when we got home and started looking at it we realized it was a Braille book. We had the best time playing with it and reading the words and touching the bumps. G man loved learning about it! We had time for this teachable moment because we had no schedule we were following.
