Homeschool moms all agree...neighborhood kids are a priceless commodity. It's music to my ears to hear my kids say "I'm going to play with _____!" as they head out the door. I don't have to drive them anywhere. I don't have to be a constant presence. It's like they have the opportunities to have great fun or make incredibly bad choices, but hey, it's all on them.
This past weekend my kids discovered a new family a few houses down. They have 10 kids. *AND* they homeschool. And one of my most wonderful friends gave them a thumbs up, as she already knows them through a homeschool group they both belong to.
Best of all-I literally prayed the other day that some homeschooled kids would move into our neighborhood. Ask, and you shall receive. My 'hood runneth over!
Your hood does runneth over!! Now let's get praying for my hood!! LOL
