Homeschool Learning in the Snow
Ok, so Colleen Felz wrote this post and it was named Homeschool Learning in the Snow and it made me think..you should see our homeschool learning in the snow for today…right?
You see, we are in Gatlinburg Tennessee and it has been an enormous learning experience. I just wish I was brave enough to let them stay up and watch the ball drop from the Space Needle, but…I haven’t lost all my marbles yet…
But, today’s learning came several ways….
1. If you get up early enough, you can get these……
without having to wait in this…
which continues……
Ok, so what else can we learn? We can learn that our lives balance on this…..
and we can even live to tell about it…
3. We can pose for photos and let strangers hold our "oh my god don’t you drop that camera or let anyone breath on it because we paid too much money for it" and get this…
4. And, if you choose to play through a 4 year old’s nap for the second day in the row when they went to bed late the previous 2 or 3 nights and have been going going going…you will get this…
5. But, if you can make it through lunch where no one was happy about their food, I wanted a serious chili dog with lots of cheese and onions, AND I wanted some fries, Walker wanted 2 corn dogs, not just one, Jace didn’t want a corn dog at all and dad didn’t get to eat his fries because he didn’t get fries for anyone else who wanted them. Oh, and you can also take note that lunch was nothing like breakfast…….which featured this….
Yea, peanut butter syrup but with the line like the one that we avoided at breakfast.
And, finally, number 6…the snow part of this post…..
Jace is 4, Walker will be 6 on Jan. 14th. However, Walker is a nice kid, Jace is relentless in search of power….and he didn’t let Walker rest one minute on the snow, he was pummeling him the entire time…as evidence below will show…..his tiny but he is mighty…
Yea, so we learned that homemade snow, even the kind dad made at home last winter, is not that great for snowball fighting and we also learned that Jace is relentless…….But, look how doggone cute they are while they’ve been learning "homeschool" style…
And, hey, you can’t make snow angels in ice…so just roll over and army crawl so you get really wet and really muddy…
I might be failing at the homeschooling thing…we seem to be having too much fun….
Tomorrow we go home!

[...] since I’ve been discussing this at length here this week, I thought a post entitled "Is Homeschooling the Right Choice for Your Family". I mean, Luke put up a comment which came to me in email and it was almost mocking me with [...]
