Yes We're Still Alive!!!!!

Hello all ,


Whewwwwwwww, Homeschooling has been one uphill, crazy hard, a lot to get used to battle for sure!!!! It has however, been very well worth all the blood,sweat, and tears though. Well ok so I'm being a little dramatic .......there has been no blood shed!! I think I deserve to dish out just a little drama right? I mean as much as I deal with on a day to day I think I've earned it!! I think if not for a "few" different sets of ears to fill this past month and a half( gotta count the half) I would be sooooo done! Thanks to all who have encouraged and supported me in my decision to be a full time crazy lady!!( There's that drama again:) I won't lie, just in case there may be some mom contemplating homeschooling who's stumbled across this blog, and say that this has been the easiest transition on my journey as a parent it's definitely had it's challenges. We're still learning and changing and change is hard! I like to keep reminding myself that EVERYTHING that's worth ANYTHING is HARD!!! I've learned more about myself and my children since I've started the homeschooling journey than I ever knew before! I've discovered that my children really do think I'm super woman and they love me UNCONDITIONALLY ! I have figured out that I can't please everybody and the ones that I crave acceptance from aren't usually aware that I'm trying to please them at all because they love me "unconditionally"(there's that word again!!) Since my last post I have taken many pics, shocking I know, and Rustin has a post about his very first football game ready to go :) Now there's just getting him to actually post it :) He's all like "MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM why do I have to post it?" I just simply say " because I'm your Mommy and I say so....... so there;)" Check ya later Bloggers!!

Field trip to Tickfaw State Park!!!

Last Friday we decided too take a trip to Tickfaw State Park for a scavenger hunt. We have been to Tickfaw several times but never have we seen so much wildlife! Even our South Louisiana weather was nice to us ..... It didn't look good the whole way there through my windshield wipers that's for sure, but as soon as we turned down the road to Tickfaw the sun peeked through the clouds as if too say " Welcome Carmouche Crew." I'm pretty sure we may have been only one of two families there on Friday. It was AMAZING! We learned many things but most importantly we had such a great time just being together. My "crew" is growing so incredibly fast these days, I'm trying with all my might to hang on for dear life and store up all the memories I can while I still have the chance! We hope that you enjoy a glimpse of our "mini" vacation away from our busy life.......

HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
