The kids were doing a little "Sound of Music" line up as I was getting ready to go to my girls weekend. They wanted to show the baby sitter who was tallest. Looks like for now it still is in order of youngest to oldest.
Mom was able to get away for two nights and connect with 12 other homeschool moms. We eat lots of good food, discussed out book for the month "Little Men" went to Lava Hot Springs and exchanged books in a gift exchange. There was also a lot of talking and laughing as we learned about each other and the good things that we are all doing. There was also some crying as we shared how these great books impact our lives.
The kids got a lot of time with their babysitter Hannah, also a homeschooler, and with Dad. The house was still standing when I returned home and no one was ill so I think it a win.
It is good for mom's to feel connected with other moms who think and teach their children in similar ways.
School even was accomplished during this shortened week and lots of books were read. I also have proof that some country dancing was leaned by both Hailey and Evelyn.
Mom's are really important but life still goes on with or without mom being at home. Mom still needs to remember who she is without all the kids because someday they will be out of the house and she will still be at home.
