I am telling you, we may switch to doing school on a magnadoodle and throwing away pencils if they keep this up ;) <br /><br />BTW, my oldest has a blog of her own. She blogs about her homeschooling and such. However, it is locked. I'd love to invite you and your family to visit it. She is 7. I have no idea how to swap emails via blog world without publishing them for all to see. If I "subscribe by email" to yours, will you be able to find my email?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240575083763897393.post-44232947242340465112010-11-17T14:05:03.214-08:002010-11-17T14:05:03.214-08:00Oh, Queenie, if only I had a pencil solution I am ...Oh, Queenie, if only I had a pencil solution I am SURE I would have less gray hair. I don't want to tell you how many hours have been wasted during the past 17 years looking for a sharp pencil. Despite color coordinated school boxes fully stocked and cupboards full of supplies, you're right, those naughty pencils just bring me such frustration!<br /><br />Don't get me started on finding a pencil sharpener that works...Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15182293568554955242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240575083763897393.post-6203037208488347102010-11-17T13:12:56.482-08:002010-11-17T13:12:56.482-08:00Does it come with toddler boy proof handles? ;) If...Does it come with toddler boy proof handles? ;) If it does, I need two! <br /><br />And pencils...any magic for keeping those tools of education from being such naughty creatures? I am quite sure pencils are really living cretures that come alive when moms aren't looking, only to wreak havoc on our homes. They also sharpen themselves to nubs, and lose their own erasers from time to time...or so my children proclaim. We have tried all shapes, sizes, and sorts of pencils. ALL of them are naughty. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7240575083763897393.post-38937013922137568012010-11-17T10:54:34.606-08:002010-11-17T10:54:34.606-08:00My Mom has said many, many times that in order to ...My Mom has said many, many times that in order to homeschool you need to have a HUGE house. Especially when you decide to homeschool all six of your kids. Her house never got bigger though and we all survived in 1300 square feet. :) (There are so many lessons to be learned in squishy living!)<br />It truly amazes me to see and be reminded that God cares about even little things in our lives. Little things to Him but big to us - having an organized dresser for supplies to help our days go smoother. What a God of love!~ Tandis ~https://www.blogger.com/profile/13441778335750280660noreply@blogger.com
