So on this past Monday we finished our second week of school (we do school from Thursday-Monday) and overall everything went well. M didn't do as well with his memory verse as he did last week but this one was a lot more confusing than the other. The verse was quite a bit longer and rambled somewhat. Other than that it was much the same as last week. One of the books is difficult to read from because it doesn't hold their interest but I read it to them in the car on the way to see family and that seemed to work. It helps them pay attention when they can't go anywhere! Captive audience! We may try coloring or playing with blocks while I read that one and see if that helps.
It's still hard to get J to pay attention to a lot of the stories but I'm trying not to make a big deal out of it since she's not even 3 yet. We'll be repeating the core again for L and N so I'm sure she'll hear all the stories at least once by the time it's all said and done.
The rest of the week was business as usual for the most part. It's been nice that Ian's work schedule has gone back to normal and we can get back into our routine. Even though it was only for one week it somehow still turned everything into chaos. We've been slowly trying to get things organized and settled into the house (which we moved into at the end of March). In the next few weeks I plan to go through all the infant boys clothes that we have and see what we can reuse and ultimately what we will need to get before the baby comes. I'd like to have most of that stuff situated before I get so big that it will be even more of a chore than it already is. We'll see how that works out.. as the saying goes.. the best laid plans...

I'm glad school is going pretty well. If your kids aren't of Kindergarten age (and even if they are), I wouldn't worry about their lack of interest. It takes time. Seems to me like you're doing a great job! Just take it easy and don't push too hard- it'll all fall into place. :)
