And they weren't homeschooling! I have learned to accept the fact that my house is not going to be the clean dwelling that it once was. Although, I have had people, (my mother-in-law namely) give me a few looks, when everything was not in its proper place. That would be fine with me if I were not doing the job of an entire small staff! <br />I enjoyed your blog!

It is all the time in between. My baby is an avid reader, but is yet to learn how to put a book back. My son loves his train tracks, and it seems to make sense to let him build his tracks in the front room while we're doing lessons there. It is amazing how much he picks up, and I can supervise him better.<br /><br />And then there are just the little things that add up. But then, we are in 900 square feet and what seems like an atrocious mess here just looks "lived in" in my parent's nice big house! Our house starts out ok and ends ok. It is all the time in between.

But, we added a life skills class to our homeschool day (<a href ="http://www.caseylifeskills.org/pages/lp/lp_dl_index.htm">Casey Life Skills: Daily Living</a>). So, we start our day by freshening up ~ <br /><br />But there will soon be two toddlers in my home. I think I may cross-stitch this and hang it in my entryway (I don't really have an entryway as the front door opens into our living space, but a girl can pretend!)<br /><br />PS (Previously known as Acceptance-with-Joy.
