fun day

I worked almost all day on scrapbooking. I am so addicted. I ran out of some basic supplies, so I will have to go to the store tomorrow to pick some up in order to feed my addiction. It was a good day. The boys got along well all day. Dad took them for hair cuts, and they both look super! Then we had a good lunch before a friend came over to spend most of the afternoon with the boys. It is a friend that Patrick seldom sees now that he is not at school. I can tell Patrick misses some of his friends. Just one of the positives of attending school ... we take them where ever we can get them. Mark grilled some great chicken for dinner, and I made some so-so potato salad. We were really hungry, so there was not much talking at the table. Now, I have to go work on laundry. Patrick followed me in here to talk, but quickly fell asleep after snuggling up with my favorite throw. It is from Williams-Sonoma, and is the softest thing ever. Guaranteed to relax you so you fall right to sleep. At any rate, it was a good day for all. We haven't had many of those here lately, so it was well deserved and cherished.

Homebound vs. Homeschool

My son is going to be homebound educated for the remainder of the school year. He has been at home since January. I have had questions about homebound teaching vs homeschool teaching. The difference is huge -- with homebound, we are provided with a tutor for 5 hours per week, plus that person can act as a liaison between home and school. In addition, the lessons that are to be taught at home are provided by the school. Hope this helps with the confusion.
