ANTS!!!


This is what I love about homeschooling. At the breakfast table this morning I read the story of "The Ants and the Grasshopper" in the book, The Aesop for Children. You know the story. The grasshopper asks the ants for food since he has not stored up any for the winter and is hungry. The ants ask him why he hasn't any food to which the grasshopper replies, "I didn't have time to store up any food...I was so busy making music that before I knew it the summer was gone." Boy could I relate!!! Shortly after the story the kids asked if I could make them look like ants. 3 headbands, some paper, tape & voila! As I type the kids... or ants, are building their anthill in the TV room....(hopefully they won't begin seeking out sugary things).

Honey, this is another reason why I love the fact that you homeschool. YOU'RE the Best! If you ever feel discouraged about homeschooling or the children, I want you to go back to this blog and see the FRUIT of your labor. Thank you for your faithfulness.
