To start this blog I would like to introduce our family. There are 6 of us not counting the pets. If you count the pets there are 26 of us. We are very busy and life is never dull.
We will start with myself. I am Mommy. I was in the Navy for 5 years after graduating highschool. By the time I had finished my contract I had 2 beautiful girls and childcare was more than I could make at the only job I could find, so I started my journey as a stay at home mom. I love being home with the kids, though sometimes I do need a break. I never thought I would homeschool. I always figured only wierd people homeschooled. Well I guess I am wierd.
Next would be Daddy. He served 9 years in the United States Marine Corps. That is how we met. He is now serving in the Army Reserves and going to school for Electronical Engineering. His favorite subject are math and science.
Our oldest child is a little girl, lets call her Princess. She is the reason we homeschool. She started kindergarten knowing how to add and subtract. She knew all her alphabet and was reading. She was also able to tell time and could do math at a first grade level. She was also reading at a first grade level. She was bored and always in trouble. When we moved I decided to use k12 till the new school year started. I asked her what she wanted to do. She said she wanted to go back to public school. I asked her why just so I knew. She told me she wanted to go back so I could have a break because that is where parents sent thier kids to get a break and that she enjoyed helping other kids learn what the teacher was teaching. We decided to homeschool after that. She no longer has a desire to go back to public school.
Our secound child is also a girl, we will call her Fairy. She went to public preschool and did great. We homeschooled with k12 for kindergarten this year. But she has decided she wants to go to public school next year and would love to try a regular public school next year.
Our third child is a boy and he is a handful. We will call him bubby. He would be going to preschool next year but he refuses to poop in the potty. So he will be home with us next year and he will be working on preschool to kindergarten work here at home.
The baby of the family is our third girl. She is a delight. Let us call her Baby Girl for this forum. She will be 3 and will be able to do school with us if she chooses or she can just play quitely.
This year my niece who is 4 is with us and she is doing school with us next year but will be going to public kindergarten next year. We will call her Bumble Bee.
We also have a cat, dog, 12 fish, 1 hamster, 2 guinea pigs, and 3 whites tree frogs. Our life is busy and full but I would not have it any other way.
