Homeschooling

The thought of it either petrifies me or excites me.

Things I would be thrilled for: being their teacher and knowing exactly what they are learning, being able to give them a Christian education, learning with them, field trips, spending all day with them, watching them grow and learn, teaching in my pj's, not rushing out the door every morning for school

Things that truthfully just freak me out: not having enough knowledge myself, planning, organizing, the expenses, lack of creativity, getting them to cooperate, spending all day with them ;)

As of now, we are planning on enrolling Peyton in public school for K5 next year. Just as an in case so all our bases are covered. As far as Parker, it's open enrollment at Peyton's preschool for this month for siblings, and then it opens up to the public in February. They say the spaces fill up fast, so I think we may be enrolling Parker for next year, paying the fee (even if we lose it in the end) so that our bases are covered there. I'm also struggling with the fact that I  feel Peyton's preschool isn't challenging him enough this year. There's really nothing I can do about it now for him, but if we decide not to homeschool Parker, we may be looking at switching to a different preschool for him.

This is definitely a subject that will be covered in prayer, prayer and more prayer!
