Lion and the Lamb Academy

Several months ago we finally settled on a name for our home school: Lion and the Lamb Academy. For years we contemplated several different names for our school. We finally came up with this, and we are satisfied. So, now that we have a name, it's time to get and official shirt, right?? We need something to wear to field trips so that we are all wearing the same thing, and it's easy to spot each other out in a crowd. And, since I recently got an embroidery machine, we're going to have some fancy shirts! Okay, maybe not too fancy. But cool, none-the-less. I'll post a picture when I get them done.

Also, here, at Lion and the Lamb Academy, it's been a rough 2nd semester. So much has been going on in life that we haven't had a lot of sit down 'school'. But, isn't life the best school anyway? Yes, it's important to learn to read, write, count, add and subtract, etc. But, what about life skills? Aren't those equally important? Well, at our 'school' they certainly are! Plus, while we're learning all of these valuable life lessons, we're also learning those basic fundamentals of reading, writing, counting, and so on. It's amazing how much we still learn, even when we aren't sitting down to do it.

I love this aspect of home schooling. That we can all learn together as we go about each day, and all the craziness that comes with it. Because, believe me, there is a lot of craziness! That's one reason we are taking today off. We need a day to just be. Sure, we had the weekend but sometimes you just need one more day. And I am thankful that we can take that day when we need to.

I hope you all have a very blessed day, whether you're working hard, or, like me, hardly working!
