Homeschool conversation

A few weeks ago I picked Lorien up at a friend's house.  She had been over for the morning watching a documentary about the Lewis and Clark expedition for school.  These friends are homeschoolers also, and just homeschooling for one year before high school (we copied them).  It started raining and all of the kids went outside to get soaking wet.  We two moms sat down for a visit while Colter played with army guys.  

The conversation was (of course) all about homeschool.  It was so nice to get her thoughts on how it was going and what was working.  We both worry that our kids are not getting enough math.  We both know they are reading and talking about what they read way more than they would have at public school.  We both agree that this has been the most awesome school year--socially--for our kids.  We both are so thankful for this year at home for our kids.  She has a couple of older children in high school already and is not as daunted by that transition as I am.  It was helpful to hear her words of experience helping me not feel so freaked out.  

Really, homeschooling Lorien has been such a great experience.  I hope she will be ready for high school next year...I hope I will be ready...  I think we will be fine.
