Valentine's Party

Our homeschool group had a Valentine's Party today. It was exactly what the kids would have experienced if they attended school. All the kids had such a wonderful time. We made Valentines for everyone ahead of time and holder things. All the kids passed out out their Valentine's, we sang songs and read a book along with a pin the arrow on the heart game and a cute little craft. It lasted about 2 hours and everyone had a ball. It is fun to experience this kind of stuff with my kids. I really enjoy the homeschooling so far. The ability to be there for my kids - priceless!

The economy sucks. Daddy Piper's work has not only been slow but none at all lately. I really regret not taking the job that came along in Oct. Regret is my middle name these days. I wish I could just quit worrying about the money or lack there of and just enjoy the daily fun things with my kids.

One thing that was awesome was taking a bath all together tonight. The kids love to hop in with me when I am relaxing in the bath. I treasure the moments together like this. It was fun laughing and talking with them. L is learning to spell things so we spent the time spelling things together. S was pouring water out and I was catching it in a cup and making the waterfall even longer. Time are tough financially but rich with family. I started this out so stressed about things and now am crying thinking how truly lucky I am.
