August 27: This year Macey is old enough to start 3-year old pre-school and Kinnick is in his second year (4-year old pre-school). When Sadie was little I always planned on sending our kids to two years of pre-school; however, in order to save money and to keep me from having to do pre-school drop-offs and pick-ups 5 days a week (plus Sadie!) we decided to do home-school pre-school. I really love it and have no regrets so far... I have several friends from my MOPS groups who are also home-schooling for pre-school. We occasionally plan get togethers for big group activities.
I love doing pre-school with Kinnick and Macey but the key for me was to limit it to 1 day per week--yep only one! I make it really fun with lots of cool activities and arts/crafts, but only on Tuesday mornings. I honestly don't think I could handle more planning than that! So far Macey and Kinnick are loving "Mommy Pre-School". They look forward to Tuesdays. On Thursdays they attend pre-school at Ms. Pearl's daycare where I volunteer once a week. This combo is the perfect fit for our family. (I'll share more in a later post with some of what we've been learning/doing!)
Macey--3 Year Old Pre-School:
I can't believe how BIG she is getting!
Kinnick--4 Year Old Pre-School
This kids is SMART! I love being his first teacher. I can't believe he will start Kindergarten next year--I will miss him for sure!

Aww, I was just thinking today that we need to get back on the ball with homeschool preschool. My kids LOVE it! It kind of fell by the wayside when I started feeling sick; plus, they're attending preschool this year. But I'm feeling like we need to get back at it!
