Updates, Updates, Updates

*School*
We're a little over 2 months in to our first official year of homeschooling now and things are going well. Its not exactly what I had envisioned, but somehow we're managing. Our days are looking like this:
B'fast
Chores
TV time
Snack & Bible story
Centers (They choose from Puzzles, Books, LeapPad, Blocks, Art, & Build-a-Word)
Circle time (This wk we're learning about letter D and continuing with our Fall theme, focusing on birthdays in spanish since Jared & my birthdays are this week)
Room time
Lunch
Story & Naptime for the boys (We're reading The Boxcar Children)
Book work for Rach (She's taking a break from the Bob books and working thru Dick & Jane; We went with the Kindergarten LifePac Math b/c the Mathusee Alpha seemed a bit over her head. She also does handwriting in her journal during this time)
Afternoon snack & Book basket turnover
Free time til Daddy gets home

I've actually learned (or started to learn) to give myself permission to not have the perfect day everyday and there is so much freedom in that!

*Baby #4*
I'm just over 14 wks along and so very glad to be in my 2nd trimester. This pregnancy has been the hardest of the 4 by far. I haven't been sick really, more just exhausted and uber-emotional. Headaches have been a big problem as well. We find out what we're having next month!
