Yes, we're busy, but no, I am not patient. God is definitely refining me there! But I see all those blessings you mentioned as well as those of pr31endeavors. Homeschooling is much easier as all the children sit around the table and learn together.

Now that they are teens, I'm even more likely to hear them in the kitchen laughing, playing board games together, and chatting.Sarahttp://classicallyhomeschooling.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-890824323776001019.post-64337502460402025312014-04-02T12:20:59.320-07:002014-04-02T12:20:59.320-07:00Just found you through the wise woman link up; rea...Just found you through the wise woman link up; really enjoyed this! My husband and I also have children close in age, though only four right now (4,3,2, and 8 months old).<br /><br />I would add that children close in age also makes teaching even more worthwhile! My 3 yr old is schooled right along with my 4 yr old and is probably beyond what he would be otherwise, because they're schooled together, and even the younger two benefit from hearing the songs we sing over and over! :)<br /><br />Also, as you mentioned they're best friends though they have sharing issues at times, that's exactly it! They *learn* to share because they *have* to with their age and interests so similar. Then there are those times you witness them selflessly give and make peace, and it's such a treasure!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
