I wish I would carry a video camera with us where ever we go. We do so many exciting things as a family!
For instance, just this weekend we spent all of Saturday with Congressman Akin and his lovely wife Lulli and got to meet and visit with the Duggar family. How many folks spend their afternoon doing that? (By the way Michelle Duggar is every bit of the sweet gem that folks say she is!)
I just stand amazed at all of the situations and circumstances we find ourselves in that we could never plan to have happen even if we wanted to!
So, the other day, in visiting with my dear friend, we were talking about socialization. She sends her kids to public school. That is fine but I had to say,
"Your kids dont get much socialization...they spend all of their time in the same place every day...they dont get out much you know.."
You couldnt believe the look of absolute astonishment on her dear face when I said that. I kinda turned the tables I guess! Isnt it true though? Our kids arent limited to the same 4 walls and same folks every day. They get around! Not that I believe in the 'socialization' argument but it was funny to use 'their' words back on them.
Actually when folks say to Brett "What about socialization?", he loves to say "Oh yeah, we arent socialists"....? LOL!
Just wanted to share our adventures and laughs with you all! May the Lord give you grace to disciple your children today!

That is awesome!! It sounds like a wonderful day!!! And I love what both you and your husband have to say about "socialization." LOL! It is so true!! Homeschooled children are better equipped to communicate with people of all ages. Public schooled children only seem to be able to relate children their own age.
Good to hear from you Sabrina!
Yes you are exactly right! Public school kids are very limited in interaction with anyone outside of their grade level~
"We're not socialists" I love it! Can I steal this one?
Absolutely Shelia! He hasnt trademarked it yet!
