tag… i’m it

Carrie at Chocolate the Other white meat tagged me for a Homeschool meme. (Her blog name always makes me laugh!) So here you go:

You know you are a bona fide homeschooler when….

1. The sound of the school bus coming down the street prompts you to say, “See, if you were in public school you would just now be getting home.”

2. You race to get the camera every time you find a new critter in the yard.

3. The groaning begins when you tell your kids to add a page to their nature study notebook for the newly discovered critter.

4. Anytime the kids go outside it counts as PE.

5. Anything that involves making a mess on the dining room table counts as Art.

6. Your house is never clean for more than 5 minutes because there are four kids there ALL. DAY. LONG.

7. You go grocery shopping at odd hours of the day.

8. Your kids are always trekking across the backyard with a bag full of new books to share with your homeschooling friend who lives right behind you.

9. You get the Leap Frog Letter Factory DVD from Netflix to occupy your 4 year old while doing school with the older ones, and he learns ALL his letter sounds in one week!

10. You look forward to the last Friday of the month because it’s Homeschool Pajama Day!

I tag Jill & anyone else who wants to play along!
