Our days don't always go to plan and yesterday was just one of those days. Instead of the usual 4 subjects we only covered 3. However being ahead of our studies means that catching up isn't really necessary but with bank holiday Monday we are already on a shorter week.

This morning Mrs J our English tutor wasn't able to make it but she rang and set this weeks work out of the text book so CJ won't be missing any lessons there. So the English lesson has changed to an Economics lesson.

I just love the flexibility home schooling brings and also the relaxed way in which we school as well. Our home is usually a quite, calm and relaxed placed during the day but there can be exciting times such as last week when the puppy made it in to the chicken enclosure and brought out a chicken in his mouth!!! Thankfully Ermintrude survived her trip around the back garden. 

We have also the option the travel and still home school. Making a 350 mile journey last month to be with my sister when she gave birth to her first baby meant CJ was able to come and still study. Not only did CJ get to meet his new cousin but day after day it snowed and so he got to go sledging - something really exciting for us as we rarely see snow where we live!

Home schooling is a commitment for any family. For us it was a change of life - my full time job turned in to part time house worked around home schooling and family life - I wouldn't change it for anything now.
