lovinmomma Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 That looks like tons of fun! Enjoy your year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmy Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 This sounds wonderful! I always wanted to get that Betty Lukens felt bible set for my kids and haven't (yet!) I will have to consider that for my younger 3 at some point. I'm impressed with what you are taking on with your 4 year olds, my youngest son is 4 and he isn't ready for a lot other than true preschoolish type stuff. Enjoy your year!

You might want to get an early start on it, LOL! We bought it two years ago, and I just finished cutting it all out! :lol: As for the twins, they get miffed at me if I don't "do school" with them, too. I mean, they are a force to be reckoned with, you just can't imagine how persuasive twins can be.... And they are girls, born to color, read, and write. LOL! I think they came out of the womb holding packs of Crayola crayons. Emmy, I just noticed your sig line! You just wait, your day is coming! LOL! My twins were wonderfully sweet and manageable. Then they turned two years, three months. And life has never really been the same since. Talk about personalities. Sheesh. I remember your girls being born last December. One year old, congratulations! You have time... ha ha ha ha ha. Not much, but you have some time. I am seriously trying to imagine your day... four boys... twin girls. Wow. I feel tired now. Thanks for posting, busy Mommy. :) Edited December 20, 2010 by Sahamamama Oh, Emmy, I just noticed.... your sig line! ROFL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairProspects Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Oh, I could only wish! That looks like my dream schedule of curriculum! My kids are roughly the same ages/grade levels, but they would never sit still to complete that much school (as much as I love your selections and think they are great). Enjoy the start of your year!

The twins BEG to do some school work, but I think they love attention from me and they love to learn. And my oldest is like a dream student... just so sweet and funny. But these kids have PLENTY of time to play. We just try to balance it all out and make life full and rich, KWIM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
