Well, We Officially Did It!

We started school yesterday! We had originally planned to start school on the 9th which was Monday, but we found out my dh will be flying out on the 31st so we knew we would be dealing with so much on that Monday and we would for sure see him off at the airport on that Tuesday.
As far as how yesterday went, I am hoping for a little better day today. The kids did not get to bed early enough Wednesday night. There was way too much talking and visiting after church, I suppose (uh... I am pretty much the blame! lol! iLuv 2 talk!).
My dd (10) set the record on getting dressed, completing her morning chores in a timely fashion,  and getting through her lessons like there was nothing to it. I  most definitely have to work this weekend on planning out a few more extra activities for her. The boys were just the opposite... SsssssLlllllllOooooW to wake, slow to dress, slow to get their chores and even slower when it came to doing there studies!!!
Of course by the afternoon when it was time for Independent Reading, Computer, and Music they were caught up and raring to go! My lil guy (6) didn't complain about his piano lessons or his computer work one bit! And my oldest (14) was thrilled with the new Learn to Play the Guitar software! I hope the software keeps his interest! He was excited to show me the chords he had learned!
I am hoping by mid-year we will be able to afford professional lessons for all the kids b/c that is one area I simply have little to no background with. I'd even love to have lessons on the piano! I think I'd even enjoy playing the guitar, too! ...BUT... It must be something about my age (or my lack of patience...lol); It definitely seems harder for me than the kids to catch on and remember!
Overall the day was enjoyable; the kids didn't seem to complain much with the exception of being tired, so I am satisfied! Bedtime was early last night, so I am looking forward to seeing some energy in my boys today! Energy! lol! - that could be a good thing or a bad thing! Hey... gotta luv boys! :o) Hope you all have a great day! God Bless!
