I was overcome with sadness today thinking about leaving this neighbor hood and friends here! Aaron applied for a full time military position in Wichita! We new this was coming but I didn't realize it would happen so fast! Yesterday Aaron said we need to make room to start keeping boxes.
I am ready to have a change though. I have loved living in the country but it really stinks that it is so hard for people to stop by and see us! I love having people over! It helps keep me motivated and not stale lol
Aaron has finished his BA and will begin working on his Masters. At least his masters will only take two years and not four like his BA did! I can't wait to watch him walk to accept his diploma!
Christian is doing great in school and has a photo graphic memory. Which helps but he is also a perfectionist. Where he got that I have no idea lol!
Josh is doing well and is begun reading starter books. He can add basic first grade math!
Kiah is doing great and is a handful always wanting to do more and more homework. If I don't have something for him to do when the others are doing their work he gets upset. But I love it! I love that they love to learn!
It is really a challenge homeschooling with four little ones!! It really try's my patience! I love watching them learn though. I can't help feeling what every homeschooling parent feels though that somehow I might be not covering everything they need to know.
I am glad for Christmas break!
Ethan is another little loving boy! More so than any of them were at his age. He is always giving me hugs. The last two days he will reach for me and say,Mommy hug you! I love it! He loves to sing and will sing parts of many songs. I have caught him using Aarons little flash light as a microphone and singing into it with no music on just rocking back and fourth as he sang. He is sooo cute! He talks so well and understands like a three year old. He is only 23 months old! They are all dare devils and I call them monkeys and crazy which only makes them laugh! He has begun potty training.
I got most of the dining room painted. It is better than pink sponge paint that is on it now. I hate the pink! I am determined that before Christmas to get it all done. I really look forward to Christmas this year!
We have learned about the truth about Santa lol! We teach them the story of how Santa all began. I want the true meaning of Christmas to be more important to them then Santa. I want them to see the birth of Christ as more "magical"/special/amazing then Santa! It is funny cause we were giving a little girl a ride to church and she started talking about Santa and Christian begged me to tell her the real story of Santa.
We have a silly dog that barks at everything lol! I call him a woos lol! I am unsure if we will be able to keep him when we move Hmmmm.....
Right now Kiah and Ethan are dancing like crazy to Hillsong DVD. They get quite crazy. It if fun to watch! Oh and it is really cute cause they had a bath together and Kiah isn't dressed yet so he is dancing in the nude lol! He really has no shame. He will strip in front of anyone if he gets wet without a second thought! He has stripped at the park homeschooling group meeting. Awkward!
I think we will have to buy new tree decorations. Between the dog and Ethan so many have been broken or chewed up. Most of them were old anyway.
Tomorrow I get to go get my hair trimmed. It is just a little to long to style like. It is really short and I love it this way. And then some Christmas shopping well a little at least. Fun day ahead! I have been out of the house for one hour since last saterday.
