Homeschooling update and pictures

We've been officially doing school for 6 weeks.  It's going great!  It has been hard some days figuring out how to get things done with a 2 1/2 year old and a 9 month old.  I've had to relax and take it day by day.  Some days we get all or our work done in the morning and some days we have to wait until nap time.  Camron likes to do "cool" too so I try to include him in as much fun stuff as I can.
Brandon and I went to the Master's co-op parent orientation tonight.  Carson will be going to co-op classes once a week on Friday mornings from 8:30-12.  He will be taking a Bible class, Handwriting class, PE class and a phonics/reading class.  I will be working in the nursery/preschool room while he has classes.  We went to a back to school picnic out at Tannehill State Park last week and he met some of the other children that will be in his room.  I think he is going to have fun.

Homeschooling

Why home school?  I've wanted to home school my children for as long as I can remember.  I've been asked a few times about my reasons for homeschooling so here they are.

I love the idea of teaching them and learning with them daily.  We have so much fun together and I love having them with me.

I believe God gave me these blessings to raise in his way and I'm going to do the best job that I can.  I believe teaching my boys about God is most important and public schools do not do that.  Honestly, it's not their job nor do I want it to be.

I believe that family is important.  Call me over protective, I don't care.  I want to have the most influence over them at this young age.  They are young and I want to protect them and keep them innocent for as long as possible.

I believe that no one wants my children to succeed more than me.  I know I will do everything I can to ensure that they do succeed.  Can I possibly teach them everything?  No, but there are lot's of resources in our community and opportunities available to them that they would not have in public school.

I want them to be able to study those things that they are passionate about. I love that Carson is excited about learning.

These are just some of the many reasons homeschooling is the right decision for us.
