If not, what a great project for one of your children! Alec can add it to the pile behind his chair! :o)<br /><br />Paula: I've heard that excuse from parents who didn't want to homeschool. And while I can understand people feeling that way, it saddens me. I'm reasonably certain that whether or not I homeschooled, I would still have a messy house. When it's not messy, I will know all my children have grown up and started their own adventures.<br /><br />Kez: I'm glad you liked it!jugglingpayneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10921293051956441475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111228953718918006.post-42123032062602183202012-02-27T04:29:43.453-05:002012-02-27T04:29:43.453-05:00"Raising kids is messy. Raising homeschooled ..."Raising kids is messy. Raising homeschooled kids is messier. And that's OK, because it's where we are right now. Our home has a lot of living going on. Sometimes it can be overwhelming, but I know it won't be like this forever. So I quietly embrace it as I tell the kids to clear their things from the couches. Company's coming. They might want to sit."<br /><br />Love it!Kezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15915193876879614644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111228953718918006.post-87905002231484539522012-02-27T03:02:20.368-05:002012-02-27T03:02:20.368-05:00Creativity can't be contained or restrained. A...Creativity can't be contained or restrained. And every moment spent on tidying takes away from time that could be spent on hands-on learning and real education. With long term projects, what's the point of tidying something each day which will just be spread across the table again the following day? A friend considering homeschooling once said that she couldn't bear the thought of her house being messy ever. Needless to say, their stint sadly didn't last long.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111228953718918006.post-1074477765091927642012-02-27T02:56:16.121-05:002012-02-27T02:56:16.121-05:00Once again, I can totally relate! My middle son, ...Once again, I can totally relate! My middle son, Alec, is very much the project person. Our dining room is also our homeschool room and the corner behind where he sits at the table is stacked with his stuff-in-progress. We can really only neaten up the pile when the grandparents come for dinner. Which isn't often. I always have to decide whether they should sit facing one of the enormously stuffed bookshelves or the window sill (with dusty mini blinds) and plants in various stages of growth (Carmen's projects). Tough choice. Hey, good for you to get on Barnes & Noble! Your book is still in circulation around here, I think the kids have a lot of the comics memorized. Perhaps the boys would memorize their Bible verses if I put them in a strip! <br />- Have a terrific week! Katecall*me*katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01902146131211374792noreply@blogger.com
