Foxy Lady
Charlotte is dancing to Foxy Lady right now. Man she's cute!
Jon is playing with his new toy that we bought him for Fathers Day. We got him the iShuffle - it's just like an iPod without the screen - you just push play and it randomly picks songs to play. it holds up to 250 songs and is the size of a silver dollar. It's so cute. :) I figured he could take it to the gym with him and listen to it on the Max on his long commutes to and from work. I would have loved to have bought him an iPod but they are a bit out of our price range at the moment.... so the iShuffle is what he got! :) He loves it!
Well now the girls are dancing to some 80's rap song - not a clue who it's by or what the title is - but they seem to like it! I don't think they have the best taste in music...

10 Seconds ago.....
My Conversation with Molly....
Me: Molly do you want to go get your sister out of bed?
Molly: Is Charlotte on the ground?
Me: I don't think so, I think she's in her bed still. Do you want to go get her?
Molly: Is Charlotte in my bed?
Me: I don't know - probably not - she's probably still in her bed. Do you want to go get her?
Molly: Sure. Is she in her bed?
Me: I think so.
Molly: Okay
Conversation from their room (through the monitor)
Molly: Hi Charlotte.
Charlotte: Hi!
Molly: Did you sleep in your bed?
Charlotte: Yea!
Molly: Did you play with the shoes?
Charlotte: Yea!
Molly: Let's go downstairs.
Charlotte: Okay!
Charlotte and Molly come down stairs - Charlotte is wearing 2 different shoes - both not hers and has another pair in her hands. Molly says: Can I have a snack? Now I must finish my blog and get my gorgeous daughters their snack! :)
This is the randomness I get to look forward to daily! :) Pretty amazing right?

Still years to decide.
Well Jon and I have started discussing more seriously the idea of homeschooling our girls. I know they are only 2 and 3, but the school years are approaching fast. We started looking at different preschools and their curriculum and decided that I will just homeschool Molly for preschool - I think I can do just as good of a job as anyone else (I mean I was a preschool teacher for a while and all...). Now we are discussing what we are going to do from there.....
We are not overly thrilled with the classroom sizes and the horror stories you hear about from kids in public school. Does this mean I don't think you can get a good education at a public school - no - not at all - my neice and nephew both go to public school (along with many others) and they are extremely bright and well behaved children. One of the biggest reasons we are looking more seriously at homeschool is because of the lack of innocense the kids of today seem to have. I have a neighbor who is 12 years old and in 6th grade - she talks about how all her friends are already kissing their "boyfriends" and that some kids in her school have already gone quite a bit further and that even some have already had sex. I do NOT want my precious daughters faced with such outrageously adult issues. It sickens me to think that children are growing up so fast and having to deal with things way out of their grasp.
Our number one reason however is what is being taught as "fact" in public school. I do not want my children growing up "knowing" evolution to be "fact" and being told that they are NOT allowed to pray, talk about God or any of the other nonsense that is continually being forced down our children's minds. I don't want to brain wash my children into believing everything I believe but I strongly feel that they should be raised to atleast know Jesus Christ as who we believe Him to be and be surrounded by other people who cherish our beliefs.
This is a very touchy subject - many people have their own opinion on the matter - some HATE the idea of homeschooling, others LOVE it. I personally think it's up to each individual parent and child to decide this. I would love to hear your opinion, but please don't be offended if I don't agree with it. You might not agree with mine either.... we can all still be friends! :)
