The Week of Busy…

11 Comments

Keilee and I are both introverts.  We LIKE staying home, not every day but most days.  This week we were running everywhere.  And not fun running, just errands and such. 

I am stealing using Jessica’s brilliant idea and typing up a list of what we do each week.  We have a daily schedule but this list will be things that actually get done!  Even with all the running around we did Keilee got so much done! 

Weekly List Done Sept 22-26 2014-page-0-1

Keilee is loving everything this year except Algebra and lately it hasn’t been THAT bad.  We especially both love Southern Literature.  Southern writers have a unique voice and they paint such lovely pictures with their writing.  The pictures are not always about beautiful things but they always make you feel deeply.  Before every story there is a short biography of the author and almost every, single one of them say they grew up listening to stories from the adults around them.  And it makes me think that we are loosing that.  Keilee has rarely heard old stories from adults.  My Mother loved telling stories and did quite often.  Keilee remembers a couple but not very many.  I wonder if we will eventually lose the “old stories’ that have been handed down for generations?

Recently Updated264First Day of Fall! We asked our favorite seller at our Farmer’s Market if Keilee could climb in and take some pictures and he let her. Even cleared off a spot.

So even though the weather is NOT feeling very Fall like we are hitting it with both feet running.  We LOVE Fall and October is Keilee’s favorite month!

Happy Fall Ya’ll,
Homeschooling Rocks!

  1. Great list. She learns so much running Keilee’s Kreations too. I want our life to be as colorful as yours the pictures are always so vivid and full of life. It’s a joy to read about your weeks.

  2. Yes!!! We are losing old stories!! Bobby and I JUST talked about this the other day. I thought it was because we are from different places and now we live so far from either place. I used to meet people in town and they would say, “Oh you are Billy Thompson’s kid (or Bill Thompson’s grandkid)” and then would proceed to tell me a story about them. And I used to lay in my mom’s lap (until I was married) on my Granny’s couch and listen to my Granny tell old stories. I’m sad that we are losing that. Why do you think it is happening? It’s sad to me.

  3. I love your record keeping idea even if you did steal it! I just might steal it too! I added your blog to my list of 5 favorite homeschooling blogs posting tomorrow!

  5. After reading your list and Jessica’s I feel like such a slacker! We’re introverts here too – all except Mr 16 which makes for interesting family dynamics!

  6. Wow, you really did get a lot done. I love the idea of a Southern Literature study. Southerners really do seem to have a unique, descriptive way of speaking!

    I am very intrigued by your Psychology study, too. Great idea!

  8. What a productive week! I’m glad Keilee isn’t finding algebra too bad at the moment. I have two girls who find maths terribly hard. I feel just the same when I’m busy out during the week. I am a home body extraordinaire and can manage quite happily for weeks without venturing out!!
    Have a lovely week this week, Karenxx

  9. Isn’t it amazing what they accomplish even when you think you are having a non-productive week? I hope this week gives you more time close to home. I know that after a busy week, I crave time at home.
