We got up. Made breakfast. Practiced penmanship....printing for Hayden and starting Kennedy into cursive, which she has been dying to do.
We talked about God's creation of the day and light out of darkness, writing a recap of the Genesis passage and drawing an illustration. We will be studying each day of creation this week.
We did math. And had reading time....Kennedy independently and Hayden working in the BOB books with Mom and Dad. And then I read them a chapter out of a read-aloud, "Stewart Little."
Now, we are breaking for lunch and some free time. After lunch, I have a short Language lesson for Kennedy, and then we are off to the library and Homeschool book store.
Then, a rest time for quiet play, art and reading (this will be a required part of every day) before tonight's basketball practices.
All in all , it's been a great start, with only a few incidences of Hayden saying, "Mom, this is boring." :) And Kennedy can't stop saying how much she loves homeschool. Hopefully, the honeymoon period doesn't wear off too soon! :)

I'm glad it's going to smoothly for you today!! I'm sure your kids will continue to love it!!
What a fun start! I hope you continue to let us peek into what you guys are up to!
That is such a typical little boy:) I would have to get tap shoes and fireworks (daily) to try to make something not boring for my boys. It looks like day one was a success:) Enjoy the rest of the journey.
Sounds like you're off to a great start! :)
