Marine biology, PE, health, and even some basic first aid. You're right, we had a very productive day. Ha! Lisa - now there’s a woman who’s helping me retain the homeschooling perspective.

I think you are right, it won't be many more years that they are young and all gathered in my household. I'm trying to enjoy them as much as I can right now. It's hard, sometimes, when I feel like I am doing more parenting and training than enjoying. Michele - thanks for the reminder that the children grow so fast.

I’m trying to enjoy them as much as I can right now. It’s hard, sometimes, when I feel like I am doing more parenting and training than enjoying.

I am praying you get some warm weather. You are so right, the winter is long enough. We are enjoying the sunshine while we have it. Sometimes I wonder about our decision to live in Washington. It is a beautiful state and there is to enjoy about it. On the other hand, it is GREY a LOT here and our summers are often short. I think our weather is very similiar to England. On the other hand, I wouldn't do well with the bugs you find in the south. Ha! Dorothy - I hope you all have a WONDERFUL time on your family vacation. I am praying you get some warm weather.

No feeling guilty. I remember many summers relaxing by the lake. Unfortunatly, I didn't blog or take many photographs back then. Now my "children" are almost all gone. Sniff... Everyone tells you to enjoy your children while they are young because it goes by fast and they are right! Kathy, Just enjoy it! No feeling guilty. I remember many summers relaxing by the lake.

The two times my kids have been swimming in Washington (which is the only time they've been to the ocean ever!), they wrapped seaweed around themselves to keep warm! Denial is NOT just a river in Egypt. I'm in denial too. However, we always start school slowly, a few subjects gently, adding things in. So far, I know that I am reading aloud The Wind in the Willows (literature) to both and reading The Bronze Bow aloud to Holly (history). Okay, honestly I have a few other ideas, but that's the only stuff I have scheduled in ink. Yet. We start Tuesday. First of all, your water picks are GORGEOUS!

UGH.... but we haven't been playing all summer like you have been >VBG>!!!!! We've been working up a storm here which is why I haven't had much time for blogging..... we've redecorated, decluttered, and reorganized something in every single room in our home this summer!
