What a wonderful time you ha...Welcome back Saminda!<br />What a wonderful time you have enjoyed over the last month. My dining room table looks just like yours does by lunchtime too! And I'm sure you will be cleaning up those lovely children and your bath often. On one occasion, not long after we had moved here my children were caked in dirt and our neighbour turned up to say hello - a very sophisticated lady she was too and my mud caked children ran over to meet her and say hello. I was just mortified and she turned to me, smiled and said 'Dirty children are happy children'. I just loved her from that moment and I have never forgotten her words. I repeat them often especially when I see photographs of homeschool families or Victorian images of children in pristine white dresses and shirts with not a hair out of place or one of those super organized homeschool rooms with children working quietly from a neat stack of workbooks. I do think your children are going to have so much fun as you continue to homeschool in this way ... you will be amazed at what they learn and remember in years to come. My 17 year old still remembers our first unit study on the 5 senses from when he was 6 and the activities we did! He recently answered a question on a tv quiz show about the bones in the ear and said he remembered the names from when we made a model of the ear all those years ago! So expect them to remember learning about evaporation and the ice age in years to come!Ann at eightacresofedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524581927752695509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-475201918521869938.post-49387812369624450962010-02-23T03:48:42.296+10:002010-02-23T03:48:42.296+10:00Welcome back!Welcome back!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09176581451996916841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-475201918521869938.post-56287142241488753042010-02-23T03:35:07.000+10:002010-02-23T03:35:07.000+10:00Welcome back!

It is refreshing to me, as we are still experiencing winter and the blahs that come with it. Saraya reminds me of someone from Little House on the Prairie in her first lesson pictures. She seems to have matured some in her appearance in the last 4 weeks. And goodness does Elijah ever look like a blond version of his dad. Ah and little Will, the cherub, cute as ever.<br />I love that you seem to be a relaxed mom who doesn't get worked up over messy children, "proper" attire, etc.<br />Hugs dear friend. So happy to know that we will be seeing, reading, and hearing more from the Ferns!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-475201918521869938.post-13972454997784672582010-02-23T03:03:12.337+10:002010-02-23T03:03:12.337+10:00WOW!
