A couple weeks ago we finished up the Quarter I of The Mystery of History. I thought it would be fun to have a Quarter I Feast to display some of the crafts and show off what the kids have learned over the past months. It was fun to have my mom here so she could benefit from all that learning these kids did.

Arts and Crafts
My babies have always liked making big messes art. They color and cut and glue and tape and tie all day. At one point in our family life I did more Mom led crafts with the kids. But once they started Preschool and were able to paint and paste at school I was relieved to not have to try to squeeze it into our day. More babies has a way of reordering priorities that way, but it also can make you sad that you aren’t able to keep providing some of the “FUN” things for the younger children as you once did.

When I look through my list of the things I want for our family life it can seem like a lot. But really it’s not huge stuff. Well, I can say that right now while life seems mostly doable. This season of feeling pretty good and not dog face tired all day long gives me the energy to try to keep some of this going in our daily life.
I want to emphasize that these are just goals I shoot for in our days and weeks and years together. We fall short. Days pass without goals met, sometimes on purpose but mostly because that’s just how life rolls along a lot of times.
I just like to have the intentions written down and at least put on a schedule so that they’re there. If I’m not at least a bit mindful and purposeful about this stuff it won’t ever happen.
So.
Literature.

The education of our children is a duty Phil and I as parents are charged to oversee. We reject the teaching that it is something we are mandated by God’s Word to take upon ourselves to be the sole teacher of our children, but do believe it is our responsibility to see that they are provided with an education. We believe parents are free to choose how they can best provide that instruction for their children.
Though I thought I would probably homeschool our children waaaay back 100 years ago, Phil and I have decided that for now the best way we can educate our babies is to send them to our local public school.
