Today marks the end of our first full week of school (for now we school 4 days a week and take the 5th for field trips and fun time).  We had started in August with math and religion.  

I'm exhausted.  Who knew that the 4th child would be such a burden even with it just being kindergarten?

I have get more settled and make a better schedule for us.  We also need to get to bed earlier and wake earlier.  

Brother is in the 6th grade although in many subjects he is below grade level.  That's okay because this journey is a marathon, not a sprint.  Sister is in the 4th grade.  For the most part, she's a great and willing student, but math continues to cause many, many tears both hers and mine.  Honey is in the 2nd grade.  This year we are working on First Holy Communion prep.  Very, very exciting.  Pumpkin is in kindergarten.  How did that happen?  She's reading some on her own, but I tend to take a really relaxed view on learning to read.  I let it come naturally before reinforcing it.  I'll have to see how things go.  I will try to post some more detailed information on what we use, but I've been known to not get around to it.  

And, with the children all having more and more school, our days are completely full.
