We&#8217;ve been having a great time doing school at home, but things were falling through the cracks of busy days and life with three boys&#8230;and I knew that we could be enjoying it far more. We want to give the boys a feast of wonderful ideas and books and that just wasn&#8217;t happening on my own. I didn&#8217;t want to make a commitment to a curriculum until we got a taste of homeschooling and a feel for where we wanted to go with our family&#8217;s home education experience. Two weeks ago after much prayer and study I was ready to make that commitment and Peter was willing to make the investment, so we ordered <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonlight.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sonlight<\/a>. It is a literature based program that I can tailor to meet our family&#8217;s needs. The package we purchased works for Seth&#8217;s kindergarten as well as for Jerome&#8217;s second grade. The day we received our boxes and unpacked them was a fun day, and every day since then has been a wonderfully interesting, fun, and relaxed school day! I am thrilled with where we are right now in our homeschooling journey, and I wanted to share some of our excitement with you.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"lightbox[sonlight]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_0395ps-1.jpg\" title=\" Yay!\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_0395ps-1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" Yay!\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[sonlight]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_0398ps-1.jpg\" title=\" As we were unpacking our new books Jerome said \u201cThis looks like fun!
