Is it admitting defeat when you plop the kids in front of a documentary on sharks and call it science for the day just so you can have a few minutes of quiet for yourself? Cause that is sure where I am at this afternoon.

Family History
January 9, 2016
This is something I would never have been able to share with them or teach them without all the work and research my Grandma Cowley did. And it was definitely not something I pictured happening when we began our homeschool journey nine months ago. It makes me even more grateful for the time I got to spend with my grandmother, learning about our family history. It's going to be an interesting spring.
So we are studying the prophets this year as part of our religion in homeschool and while reading from our short stories book we came across the name of one of our ancestors. The kids got so excited and thought it was super cool to learn something about someone we are related to. They all begged me to break out my grandmothers research and stories so they could learn more. It is so amazing to me how quickly my kids can catch the vision of something. The girls insisted that learning about our ancestors is important and they want to start doing family history.
So can you guess what we will be doing on Monday?
