Ok, I made a nice dinner for my family tonight and my 3 year old son said...

I made chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and green beans.
I set the food down in front of my kids and my 3 year old son said,
"What is this dog bone chicken stuff with dressing?" HAAAAAAAAA
It was chopped up with gravy on it, but where did he get the idea that it was dog bones and salad dressing? Ha-Ha
He is funny!

How do you homeschoolers do your schedules?

I always seem to have trouble getting everything done everyday.
I am constantly trying to reschedule things around so that it will be easier but still incorporate everything needed.
What do you consider absolutely necessary and how do you incorporate them?
We do a LOT of notebooking and that takes a while. I do feel that it is best take the time and really learn the things instead of rushing through just to have done more.
I am onsidering doing scripture, copywork and math every day and then doing history, geography, science, grammar, nature journals once a week. We are also trying to do states and government a little since it is election time.
Do any of you do some subjects only once a week instead of trying to do them every day?
Thanks for your help!
Luv, Rodna

Guess where my 3 year old wants to have his birthday party?

AFRICA! How funny is that? LOL

How do I organize all those notebooks, paper, page protectors, etc..?

Ok, so your doing the whole notebooking, lapbooking thing and loving it But what do I do with all of the paper and page protectors and folders. etc..? When you are notebooking and lapbooking you have tons of paper and folders of all colors; great but once you open the package, you can't keep all the paper in right? And all of those notebooks, what am I supposed to do with them all?
So, what can we do that doesn't cost a fortune or involve putting up shelves? Well, what I did was to get a couple of sterelite crates! Yes, they are low price, perfect size for paper, folders, page protectors, picture paper, everything!
I took some pictures to show you what I mean. I love it because I don't have to have bookends or shelves to keep all of my notebooks up and my paper doesn't get scattered around or bent or torn!
I hope this idea helps you.
Good luck!!
