Old Dominion Heather Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Homeschool Couture What do your kids wear to do their school work. We tend to fall into the swim trunk category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmamainva Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I'm happy if mine wear pants!!! I'm serious!! Yesterday, at our school table, my 6yo was wearing nothing but a backpack and a pair of Dora the Explorer underwear. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. at J.A. Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 So funny! Thanks for sharing! Angela:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandpsmommy Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 That was great. I can relate. Dd spent most of kindergarten in her pajamas. She would actually get dressed in the morning, but then by the afternoon she would have changed back into a comfy pair of pajamas. Ds spent most of last year in his underwear. He just couldn't seem to keep his shirt and pants on. If a neighborhood kid came over to play he would make a mad dash for his room to throw on some pants.

Parrothead Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 That was great. Very creative. I've been busted a time or two, and prefer that we are fully dressed by the time school starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Florida Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 We get dressed. Unless someone is sick, we're pretty much always all dressed in more or less regular clothing before we start schoolwork every day. Now, it's pretty casual: shorts or jeans and t-shirts. And we don't bother with shoes unless we're going out. And I do have whole drawers full of not-terribly-attractive shorts and t-shirts that I wear around the house because I'm not afraid of wrecking them while doing housework. But we get dressed. Of course, I don't mind some creative accessorizing. For example, today my son is wearing shorts and a Wanna-Do City souvenier t-shirt with a home-made green felt sash. I'm not sure why.

Stacia Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 That's hilarious. My ds would stay in his pjs all day, every day (not that I let him do that all the time). I refer to him as our little Hugh Hefner. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday, at our school table, my 6yo was wearing nothing but a backpack and a pair of Dora the Explorer underwear. ;) :smilielol5::smilielol5::smilielol5: That would have totally been my middle child. Oh, my. We usually try to get "ready for the day" before we start school, in case we need to run for important things like chocolate. So, usually we look presentable (by my definition - YMMV). Sometimes we do just wear PJs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Tara~ Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Add me to the stick in the mud club. We are all dressed, in normal clothes. Though, after breakfast, the 4 yr old often asks to wear her princess dress or "ballerina dress". And at least one of the boys has a belt tied around their middle...either an actual belt, or a make-do kind of thing...piece of rope, mystery strap w/buckle, who knows. Add in an occasional kimono on top of it all. Oh and don't forget the long socks pulled up OVER the pants. I think that's their way of making boots ? I think that's what one told me once LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquirrellyMama Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 We are anywhere from pjs, swimming suit, underwear, dress up clothes to actual clothing. When the mailman came to the door yesterday we were all in pj's still (at noon) including mom. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrscopterdoc Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I guess we are rebels. If we don't have to go anywhere that day, it is pajamas and most likely they stay on all day! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetTN Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 DD is usually in pjs until noon. The house rule is you have to be dressed by by lunch time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassenach Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 We have varying levels of dress. Dd11 is in pj's till lunch. I won't let her eat lunch in her pajamas, but before that I don't really care. Ds6 gets dressed the minute he wakes up. The funny thing about him is if I need him to do seat work and he is having a hard time sitting still, he'll take off his shirt and I'll scratch his back. As long as I'm scratching, he'll sit and get everything done. Back scratches are my secret weapon with him. Dd4 is in dress ups all day long. Mom is dressed because I have to run ds8 to school every morning. If not for that, I'd be in pj's till noon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekanamom Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Oh geez... please don't think badly of us for this... but my kids wear school uniforms. It just wasn't working for me for them to sit around in their dirty ranch chore clothes all day, and we had too many confrontations about changing into clean clothes... so now they have to wear school uniforms. (They actually find them very comfortable.) I got the uniforms on clearance last year- cheaper than regular clothes. And they need fewer regular outfits because they stay "new" longer this way. Then after school, they can change into clean playclothes or whatever. Mostly they just keep wearing the uniforms unless we're going somewhere. You would think this would result in way too much laundry, no? Chore clothes, school clothes, play clothes. But it actually streamlines things pretty well... separated into whites, darks, and denims... one load/day keeps us on top of the laundry pretty well. Works for us!

Kimberly in IN Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Oh geez... please don't think badly of us for this... but my kids wear school uniforms. We do too. I thought maybe we were the only ones. I find it helps dc get into the school mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 My ds has a uniform. :D You know those 3.00 silky shorts from Walmart. He has a pair in every color and that is all he will wear. When it gets cold he switches to track pants. Somewhere in the transition he gets cold enough to put on a shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm unfortunately with you. I've tried to relax that point... I really, REALLY have tried. It's a lost cause. I envy those who can fully embrace it. We dress too.

In the winter, they get to choose between the heavier twill uniform pants (warm and adjustable waist & legs... they can turn into capris) or navy sweatpants (not as warm but stretchier). Kids are funny about clothes!! I'm sooo glad mine seem to like their uniforms, because it was impossible to get them to change out of their "favorite" chore clothes!! Oldest dd in particular. Normally wouldn't be a big deal, but since we are mucking out the horse area every day... ewww.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
