Starting School

Finally time to hit the books!  We have just gotten up to speed with school work.  We started the first week of August, but with only one subject.  With a new little girl in the house, we have been taking it a week at a time.  I believe we are now rolling in all the planned subjects! 

Since Jason, my husband, is now self employed, he has been able to help out with Gibson's math.  It makes a huge difference to have an extra adult around!  Alexa, our 13 year old, is a self learner, so her work is done independently.  Today, she caught her science experiment on fire!  I'm so glad she didn't catch anything else on fire. 

Gibson, our 9 year old, is reading so well now!  He is able to read his science assignments by himself and comprehend what he is reading.  This is a huge timesaver as well.  So, what am I doing while all this independent learning is going on?  I am teaching our 3 year old to trace circles and count, trying to keep our 19 month old from tearing the house down, and nursing and caring for our 2 month old.  Oh, yeah, and doing laundry, cooking, and attempting to keep up with this blog. :  )
