A Day a Long Time Coming!

Today at 1 in the afternoon we were done with school. Even the girls.

I love Preschool and Kindergarten. It doesn't take a lot of time and it is all new. Everyone is excited. I always get excited when we officially start Kindergarten.

I will have to say that this time was different. As we have been struggling to get school done diligently and we have a 14 month old distraction, things didn't go as well as they had before. I found it hard to find time to sit down and give one on one or two on two time with Cecilia and Ruth. If the boys aren't done then they immediately need my help as soon as we get going.

We have been trying to do afternoon Kindergarten so the boys are finishing up and Elsie is sleeping. Well on a perfect day.

Lately we have been not working at school well, Elsie is taking shorter naps, and a host of other things seem to be trying to keep us from doing Kindergarten. BUT, when I start Kindergarten officially then we do it every day we do school.

Today we got up on time, ate breakfast and got ready for school quickly and with out incident. By break time at 9:30 the boys had done almost a half a day of school. I fed the girls lunch early and put Elsie down for a nap. The boys finished up school and ate their lunch as we did Kindergarten. I looked up and realized that it was just after one. I was so excited.

To make the day better we got chores done quickly and had time to play and hang out. I found Cecilia making cursive letters with her new necklace. It makes my heart soar when I see my children using what we learned on their own in a new and creative way.

I am not saying that my house is spotless, but, I didn't feel like I was running around and not getting anything done.

When dad came home with big beautiful yellow flowers for Cecilia, it just finished off a wonderful day.
