School~

I guess I can get off of the political train for a bit and post about school.... we are in our second week and its going well.. I find that my only "problem" is not having enough to occupy my 2 year old while we are in "Class" tho, I am working on it and have found several good tips online.. now, to instill them!
Anna is enjoying it very much and cant wait to get started each day. she is doing very well too and I am ever so thankful that I get to kiss her sweet face every time she learns something new!
Gabriel has a few work books cause he always asks "why cant I do school" but about a half an hour into it, he is gone.. thats ok... being that this is my first year doing it.. I am not capable (till I get into my groove) of schooling two! I dont have the patience yet :)
Today was a bit of a different day and I got put in my place... .. I was tired, my patience was thin and my Husband called. He asked what I was doing and I explained we were on the last lessons of Math and then done for the day ( I did not tell him I was having a bad day) .. he then said " Your such a good mom, I am proud of you" ..... wow did I INSTANTLY feel badly for being cranky and tired during school..... here my husband was just praising me and I had been miserable prior... So needless to say he made my heart smile and my attitude change..
He also asked if I could change our "off" day this week and allow him to watch us do school. My plans are every Thursday is our off day since my husband is off on those days... but he asked if we could actually do school on that day so he could watch... I will be nervous but I think its extra sweet that he is soo involved.... and I will gladly switch for him....
well I will leave you with some pics of our 1st and 4th day!
