We have life!!! My plant is growing!
Since we are switching Jayden to a karate school, his teacher wanted him to see what karate competitions looked like. Juan took him and had some daddy/son time while Cait and I spent time together at home.
We now have a family membership to a pool/gym. We have been going every day. We get to spend time together AND get in some exercise at the same time.
Of course we are still plugging away at our school work.
Homeschooling isn't limited to school subjects. We also teach the kids life skills. This is an opportunity for the kids to earn money, learn responsibility, and learn necessary things.
They help me with laundry 1x a week. In exchange they are paid for their time. Their responsibility of taking the clothes out of the dryer earns them $1 each.
They do other chores that earn them money as well. Not all chores mean money though. Some things, such as cleaning their room, clearing their dishes, and helping to clean any mess they have made are all mandatory chores.
They are still young enough that they actually
beg to do chores, whether or not they get paid for them! I wonder how long it will last!
