Life goes back to normal today...

What a rude awakening my children had when they got up and discovered that they have to do school work again after 2 weeks off.  My goal today, Sean will write his name by the end of the day!  Well, that didn't work.  Maybe he'll have S down by the end of the week.  Homeschooling this child is an amazing adventure because he is so willful!  Sam is moving lightning fast through 1st grade.  We may make it to 2nd grade reading in a month or so.  That will be good.  Evan is so excited that he learned to write his name today.  Abby is content to continue to draw circles on every paper I give her.  We did have a color breakthrough today.  She now know red and yellow.  That's better than just yellow.  I love having my kids home with me all day and I'm happy that I don't have to drive down the 1 mile ice covered hilly, curvy driveway to take Sam to the bus at 7:15 a.m.  I'm so thankful that having my kids home together is turning them into such good friends!  They are so much closer now than when Sam went to school.
