what school looks like for us

we went to lucas' and emma's student showcase last night for their homelink classes and we all had a blast!  elise loved watching the choir performance so much that she wouldn't leave when the older kids asked to go.  the kids got to play some carnival games and won fun prizes.  we won a prize from the raffle, which was a big deal because we never win raffles.  and, it was really neat to see the projects and art pieces all the kids made in their classes.  elise and i volunteered in lucas' cooking class one afternoon and we (mainly I) taught them how to make wontons.  i had so much fun seeing the kids learn something new.  watching them focus hard on something, looking proud of themselves for what they made, and then tasting it and liking it was such an awesome thing to experience.  many of them even came back wanting more!  this is one of the reasons i love homeschooling my kids.  there are many more reasons, like wanting to spend as much time as i can during these precious short years i have with them.  they are going to grow up so fast.  it's happening already...
