My kids are homeschooling me. I now know that…
…wiggling counts as P.E class.
…doodles are no less than art class. (Seriously, probably more like “Brilliance in Art.”)
…8 X 8=64 on messy tables and clean tables alike.
…even very great students had to be taught how to fold and number their papers.
…erasing is an underestimated skill.
…precise, thorough explanations will earn–drum roll, please– half results. (No explanations earn none.)
…if mom drinks hot tea during school, kids need to drink hot tea during school.
…9:30 am start really means somewhere between 9:35 and 9:45 am.
…phone calls are like fire drills. All semblance of school stops.
…irritated or angry screaming brings about the unintended, although quite desirable, act of laughter.
…ALL holidays and all humble rooms deserve decorations, whether the teacher thinks decorations are just excuses for messes:
Enter at your own risk…my four-year-old won’t without me. Nice effect.
Great hiding spot.
Chills down your spine?
“Ghost of the butt.”
The needed close-up. (These are taped on then covered with clear contact paper in case you want to try.)
Close the lid on “Ghost of the Butt” only to find “Ghost of the Plunger.” Too much GI talk going on in this house.
Lookin’ good.
Even mom’s dainty decorations are not spared.
Happy Halloween! Have a great week! Do you have your Halloween candy plan ready to implement?

Love it!!! No candy, I’m passing out bat rings, spider rings, fangs, and creepy crawlies.
Thanks! Not as fancy as your Halloween décor, but they’re tickled with their work. I love, love, love the fang/ring/etc idea! Thanks for sharing this! Can I ask where you got them at?
Walmart. They have little mesh bags of 50 rings (spider or bat) and the fangs come 12 to a bag. I’m not sure how many bugs are in the creepy crawlies bag because the grandbabies were here and I fear they may have had a little creepy fun early!
Laugh out loud. Thank you.
That’s a great alternative!
Haha, what great kids!!! I seriously wouldn’t be using your bathroom 😉
Scaredy cat. I’d hold your hand, too, like I do the four-year old. 🙂
I love the Ghost of the butt!! lol
You would. Of course. My kids will read these comments and just gloat in their “coolness.” The shame.
LOL!!
LOL! I think I’ve learned everyone of those too. Including the hot tea one, which they don’t like but still must have!!
Hi! Thanks for stopping by! I love hearing from other brave, insanical souls. Doesn’t the tea one really remind you–“Monkey see, monkey do.” So I’d better watch what I’m doing? Another one I’ve noticed, also, if I chuckle, I MUST explain myself.
