Getting Together

Checking out the water

Today was a day of getting together with other people. It was a wonderful warm day today, so it mad for a perfect day to get out of the house and meet up with other homeschooling children. I just love these warm days as they seems to encourage people to want to be in the sunshine. Today's get together was planned to be at the park which we began with, but being so close to the water, the outdoor public pool seemed like a better idea to the kids.



The weather was getting close to 30 degrees, so it was voted to head to the pool. The children had an absolute blast, we arrived at the pool at about 3pm where we bumped into another homeschooler that had brought her children for a swim. It was great fun for the children to catch up with each other, but it's equally as important for the mums to connect and share experiences.

Looking cool!!!

I have been concerned about Miss E's reading, so I asked some of the other mums about what I should do. It was so reassuring to hear that I was actually do a great job with her and it might take some more time for her to understand. It really is wonderful to have the support of other homeschooling mum, especially mums who have been in the same position and to hear their stories of when their kids started to read.

Diving into the pool

Today I also meet up with another lovely single homeschooling mother. It was so wonderful to talk with her and catch up. It really was funny how we have similar problems in our lives and how we can support  and encourage each other  because it is a job like no other, so to share and laugh really does help ease the burdens we face.
