This is what i would do, since the girls want to share a room :) and if the room is "huge" Put Rachel, AnnaBelle, Maddi, BreAnna, and Rebecca in Room #1 (probably with bunkbeds) Dean in Room #2 Heather in Room #3 Nathan & Parker in Room #4 And Brian in Room #5 Then for your "den" "school room" put a pull out couch in there?? its a comfy place to read and sit and then Stacey could just sleep in there for her last year home? Just my thought :D

It's okay! If you wanted to read the thread here: http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=286572 What were doing is setting a time and place for Wrestling, and if you try to wrestle before that you do not get to wrestle in the "match" at the end of the day (its safer b/c i watch the match & so it doesnt drive me insane all day with the constant wrestling):D It's probably not the best advice but we've been doing this for about 5 days and after Daniel & Peter started wrestling on the 1st day after i explained it too them, so they didnt get to participate in the "match" at the end of the day, and had to sit in their room. They both threw fits, but now everyone knows better. We also are considering putting them in a wrestling team. Hope that helps! :D

:iagree:

Prayers and :grouphug:'s for you! :001_smile:

Thanks! And that must mean i am too :lol::lol:

Hi! And Welcome! Homeschooling is a blessing to us, and i hope it is for your family too. :001_smile: I've homeschooled for 13 years and used A LOT of curriculums, Mostly CM and theyve been great! Are you looking for a curriculum? If you want more info on the CM method you can look here: http://www.amblesideonline.org/WhatIsCM.shtml CM is great & i love it :D Hope this Helps!

My mom lives with us too help, also when they were that young we had a "baby sitter" who came and helped us, we couldnt do it on our own for the first year and a half. Oh my house is CRAZY when it comes to wrestling, i started a post on it a while back asking how to make it stop, but i'm learning to live with it. And no I dont do that LOL :lol: I was not immune to the wrestling though, we only had 2 boys before Daniel, and the triplets. And they're 4 1/2 years apart, so they really didnt try to wrestle. I think they do, LOL, The boys love having 24 hour-live in best friends :) So do the older girls, And Neveah loves having little girls to play with now :), before them the older girls didnt want to hang out with their little sister and then there was just a whole bunch of boys.

How exciting! I also live in Michigan! :001_smile:

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

When trying to get out the door, i never call any of them by their names i usually say "you guys" :lol::lol: If i had to list all of them, by name, we would be even more late to wherever we're trying to go! :001_smile:

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Opps i made a typo on my signature, going to go fix it :001_smile: It's "Evan"

Good to know! And My kids that are close in age also think of each other as Bestfriends ;)

We have someone who comes to our house every week and cleans it from top to bottom. With so many kids, homeschooling and trying to have "some" free time, it's more like a necessity if you want to keep mom sane ;) Even though the kids all have chores & Me & my mom (she lives with us) all clean, we still need someone to really clean the house by the end of the week.

I've come to the conclusion, it's no big deal, it's just like saying "kids" etc. your're just referring to them as a group. That is ridiculous!
