Last week, we had a not-so-good day of homeschooling. I really wondered if my kids got anything out of that day. We use BLHFHG. Love it! They day was bad because of the kids! :wink: Anyway, last week on our challenging day, we learned about 'run-on' sentences. My thought that day was that my kids pretty much hadn't heard a word I said.

Well, fast forward to this week. It's been a good week with homeschooling. We've been learning a new, and rather lengthy Bible verse. My almost 7 year old piped up after we practiced the L-O-N-G verse and asked in a sort of frustrated tone, "Mommy, was that a run-on sentence?"

Ahhhh...so they were listening. :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: Too funny! I think it's safe to say run-on sentences have been learned. :) I have been surprised by my dc and what they remember too. We sang Holy, Holy, Holy with Bigger Hearts, and I thought the toddler was just playing tractors. This morning, he was singing the chorus of Holy, Holy, Holy with the radio - cheerfully be-bopping around the room, doing a little dance and singing. Then, the big boys joined in and sang too - I love those moments. :D They are what we live on as homeschool moms, and we need to remember them and cherish them on the days that don't go just so - because there will always be days like that too. :D

In Christ,
Julie

Don't forget to write those things down!
Isn't it great being a homeschool mom. (Even if it sometimes takes us a couple of days to remember it :wink: )

Oh, I needed a laugh! :lol: That is too cute.

It's amazing what kiddos take in when we're sure they're not listening. :D
