I went to Target last night with my six youngest...11, 9, 7, 1, 1, and 1-why you ask? Why on God's green earth would I do that? Wat was I thinking? I was not thinking, I was desperate to get out of the house. Unlike other families that have been able to go places, and be at the pool te past few weeks, we have not...because Mr. Salmonella had come to stay! But, alas, like all things good and bad, it has passed-hooray!!! So, off to Target. Upon arriving at the store I saw the signs everywhere-Back to School! -Stock up on supplies for school!-Check off your list here!, and so on. We laughed and joked about how we do not have to do that!!! Praise God!!!
But, we do need to make our lists...
I had not previously made these lists, but seen a lot of unschoolers and homeschoolers making them...
The lists of what we want to learn this year!!! Because, it IS up to us! We CAN choose!
So we, er...they did!
