This picture embodies what I want my kids homeschool experience to be. Granted, there are alot of days that it isn't like this picture at all...because such is life.  Laundry, errands, appointments, tired kids and tired me happen.... not all days are happy photo worthy days, and there are no perfect days. But... there are some pretty magical ones.  And the effort in all of them is worth it. Every day. The only thing that could make this picture any better in my eyes is if it had all 5 of my kids in it with me instead of just the two who were with me this particular day.

There were other great pictures taken that particular day by my friend Nicole of www.tikkido.com and I will give you a sneak peek soon of some of the yummy goodness (smiles, decorations, food) and the project she is working on, but for now...I am enjoying these shots she took of me and the girls that day when the festivities were over...because my girls childhood is fleeting.

And with that in mind, here is one for those of you who are mothers, but not homeschoolers, for your little ones are growing and changing just as fast as mine are...
