E "officially" started school on Tuesday, September 4th with the rest of the Michigan public schools. However, my little school girl didn't head to the local public school. We set up school right here at home.
She was so excited to get started that morning. But, a late night from visiting friends over Labor Day got our day off to a slow start. Then, C had a few drops of blood in his diaper when I pulled off his night diaper...so a trip to the dr with a subsequent trip to the hospital to drop off a urine sample took up our morning. By lunch, my poor little school girl was beside herself because she just wanted to go to 'school'. {Thankfully nothing was really wrong with C.}
Once lunch was over and C was down for a nap, we got busy with kindergarten business and all was well. We did a little craft, some writing, some reading...and satisfied the craving for learning of my oldest learner.
The day didn't start out so smoothly but the afternoon went pretty smoothly.
I got feeling pretty puny as the afternoon wore on. So, Jut fed the kids supper while I rested. When I came back downstairs, everyone was outside. The olders were riding their bikes and having a good time until X got going a bit too fast, lost control, hit our neighbors car and tried to take a chunk out of the sidewalk with his mouth. I thought that he was going to lose a tooth for certain. His tooth was bleeding, his mouth was bleeding, his lip was bleeding. I'm so thankful Jut was home to deal with all the blood. This mom doesn't do very well with large amounts of blood...especially when teeth are involved...{although, I have gotten better with practice}. He ended our day with a very swollen lip and mouth. Poor guy. But, it didn't slow him down too much and a month later, he's back to riding as fast as he can down the sidewalk.
Thankfully, the rest of the week went much more smoothly for everyone. Although, I am learning that balancing homeschooling on top of everything else around here is challenging...but we are managing.
