is a relaxed affair... as homeschooling usually is in our house.
It's a little different now that the big kids are bigger. They can set their own goals & press on, regardless of circumstances. i usually just keep going till baby arrives - doing what we can, picking up the most necessary subjects (reading & math) & trimming fat...
So far - we haven't had to trim much.
This lifestyle lends itself to flexibility - i can still read aloud with a tiny, hours old baby in my arms. i can supervise a math lesson while loading the dishwasher. i can listen to a child read while folding laundry. Yeh, there are a million interruptions - still working on a solution for that one. But for the most part - homeschooling in the last days is good company - keeping the anticipation at bay with busy minds & hands... while allowing our new little baby the spotlight when the time comes...

From your title "Last Days" -- I thought you meant the "Last Days" as in the Book of Revelation and the wars and rumours of war and tribulation and Jesus coming back soon!! But I guess you ARE in the last days, of a slightly different sort!!

Encouraging...thank you! It's been hard for me to imagine what it will be like after our baby arrives. Of course, mine are a bit younger (and more squirrely?) than yours...
I like your side pics :)
I think you should take a pic of your count-down chain!
