grrr...

i've been trying all day and i can't upload even just one picture to blogger. anyone else?? the kids got haircuts last night so i wanted to post the before and after pics!

today was a busy day. i had 7 kids here today - yikes! 3 of my own, my FT dayhome girl, and then my friend's 2 kids + another kid who had never come before (long story) but it went well..... just BUSY! we did playdoh, play foam, a walk outside, more playing outside (kids getting soaked since it was so warm!), coloring, playing with toys... lunch... it was non-stop!

tonight i had a dayhome interview for kids who need FT summer care and then before/after school care next fall. i need to figure out my plan for hallie for the fall. which school i'm sending her to... and then once i choose that, i need to figure out AM or PM kindergarten.... and now i'm having these thoughts about homeschooling since the school choosing is stressing me out so much! aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh! man i just don't know?!??

tonight i asked hallie if she wanted to go to school or have mommy teach her at home? i told her i could teach her how to read and stuff and we could still go places and she wouldn't be at school all day.... and she picked school. she said otherwise she would miss her friends.... !

thoughts?!??

Hallie has a good point.

You already know my opinion about school - you should just go with the place you told me about that you liked better and had a warmer, friendlier feel to it. Hallie will absolutely love school - homeschooling can be very har and stressful too. I am all for public schooling but maybe that is because i am a teacher?? Haha. Talk soon. ;)

My girls love having their own world that they get to tell me about every day. They ‘teach’ me what they learn and they feel so important going to school. They have so many friends and they are so confident at school, and in return at home. I love walking down the hallway with Kenzie as she greets all her friends, she LOVES it. I wouldn’t do it any other way. I think Hallie would enjoy it. :)

I'm a big fan of homeschooling and alternative education. I can send you some links if you want :) You need to make the best choice for your family though. We are lucky that we have so many choices here.
