A World without walls
everyday life while homeschooling overseas
My favorite benefit to homeschooling--I call the shots when we do and don't have school. I love being able to give my kids their birthdays as special school holidays. They all love being in charge of the day--writing up schedules and following them... :) Peter's birthday was no different. They all got up just before 6am (earlier than Christmas--good grief!!) and started watching Garfield cartoons. Then they wrote up the schedule which looked something like this:
I laughed a lot. They followed it almost to the 't', too! (Except for going to bed at 7--that never happens, but it sure was thoughtful of them to at least write it...) Wow. That's a lot of iPad time. I was interested to see, though, that he didn't ask to play on the Wii. Hmmmmm... He was so happy to be able to choose what he did that day that I hardly heard a peep out of him! I wish he would choose to do school on school days. That would sure make our mornings quieter and smoother. :/ Regardless, we just love this kid! He's SO funny, happy, and full of life, determination and enthusiasm! He is stubborn as all get out, and if he supports you, you can expect him to stand by you 110%! Happy 6th Birthday, Mr. Peter! We're so happy you're part of our family!

Emily's books
by Dan Brown
I like that the plot twists and turns a lot...and it makes you think. However, I don't appreciate Dan Brown's endings in his books. I find the endings incongruent with the rest of his stories--why make it a romance for the last chapter...
by Shannon Hale
I loved this book. I'm a sucker for fairy tales/fantasy. This was so well written! I can't wait to read all the rest of her books!

I'm reading this one again. I liked it the first time I read it. I'm still liking it for the second time around. I like all of Shannon Hales' books.
**Still lots of fun the second time around! I do like this book for a comfortable...
