One of the greatest gifts of homeschooling (and doing it year round) is the flexibility it gives us to live out life. Yes, school is a priority but our family, friends, and faith come first. When a need arises or an opportunity presents itself that God is leading us to do we are free to make that choice. A 180 day school year works out to 15 days a month. This gives us the freedom to take extended trips any time of year, to enjoy sunny days outside while saving school for the rainy and cold ones, to say 'yes' more often than 'no', and to have school on the weekends if our schedules are more open then. We follow this philosophy, too.
One of my favorite parts of homeschooling though is that we are doing life together as a family. My kids are a part of everything that goes on to run our house and in the process learning like skills. I love "life school" like today...
Carter loves his time with the twins. He is old enough now that he can really help with them- calming, feeding, playing, and carrying. It's hard to believe they are three months old already!!
We all had so much fun having two babies in the house. How can you not smile with one of these snoozing in the corner of the kitchen...
and this sweet pea snuggled on the couch?!
And the icing on the cake, they now give out sweet smiles and coos! Such a blessing! We love you guys...

Spelling and math are not anywhere near this much fun!
