We are getting ready to start our first year of homeschooling with the boys, Isaac and Bub this September. And I have been going through some materials to get ready, a lot of which I had organized last year, but I came across a book by the Maxwells that Heather Bislew showed me when we were down in Mankato last weekend. It is about managing your time with a schedule that maximizes your time so that all of the things you need to get done each day, school, chores, cooking, devotions, etc are all organized. In the book there is such a great idea! It is called "Daddy Tapes" and the idea is that, as we all know, kids need the nuture and the admonition and teaching of their daddies, but most daddies go to work all day every day and are not there for most of the homeschooling/play throughout the day, and so the kids miss those opportunities. The idea of the Daddy Tapes is that their daddy would pre-record a tape on a certain topic each week and then the kids get to listen to it during the day at an appointed time and spend time with their daddy that way, learning from him on whatever topic he chooses. This is such a fun idea, I love it! Also, here are some recent pictures of the kids.
