Mfw CtG Back to school 2013-2014

Day one of Year #3 of homeschooling (kids have dubbed our school 'Owl creek academy'  which is dd's favorite bird and incorporates our streets name) 
Dh has been starting work two hours later than normal, which I was hating.. God always has a plan and who am I to question it.  Starting work  later means that he gets to do devotions and bible study with us in the mornings

Day one went well,  apart from a meltdown in the afternoon when we got to math.  Kait decided she does not want to do math online this year and would prefer workbooks,  after a huge fit and discussing and the problem, we came to an agreement,  online school until we can find a book we both like.  

I found the bag of preschool activities we made with MOPS last year and put those to good use today  , along with  a masking tape  road from pintrest (which my two year old si played with for one second and kept my eight year old busy for half an hour) 


We managed to get a full days work done with out too much trouble,  I think we were all ready to get back to work.
