This week's list is another fun list! However, instead of doing more junk food, I thought I would be more diet friendly and talk about homeschooling!
So here is my list of thirteen ways you can tell you are a homeschool family...
You might be a homeschool family if:
So here is my list of thirteen ways you can tell you are a homeschool family...
You might be a homeschool family if:
- Going to the grocery store is considered both a "field trip" and a "math lesson" because they get out during regular school hours and are doing math by adding up the cost of the groceries as you go along.
- Your school uniform is your PJ's.
- You have to clear the breakfast dishes before you can start school.
- You can't make it through the grocery produce department without asking your preschooler the name and color of every vegetable.
- You exclaim that the unknown dish in the fridge isn't because you need to clean, but because of science experiments!
- You live in a one-house schoolroom.
- Your children start coming up with curriculum ideas of their own: "Mom, can I make myself a Robin Hood hat for language arts?"
- You find yourself evaluating the aerobic value of vacuuming so you can log it under physical education.
- Talking out loud to yourself is a parent/teacher conference.
- The teacher gets to kiss the principal in the faculty lounge and no one gossips.
- Your neighbors think you are insane.
- Discipline for "cutting up in class" may include vacuuming or dishwashing.
- You get to change more than diapers; you get to change their minds.
So there you have it!! Can you add anything to the list??

We're not a homeschooling family, but I really enjoyed this list! I especially loved numbers 9 & 10! :)
The grocery store is a goldmine for questions for our preschoolers too... I think that's an important part of being an engaged, involved parent. :)
We do #3 every day. LOL
Oooh, #6, and #9 are good.
I love #10!!
My cousin made a list like this for her homeschool graduation. So cute!
LOL I am a new reader to your blog and found this so funny (yet true :))
Keep up the good work!
lolol
Great job!
I can't think of anything to add to it!
There was one time I had to take a 5year old to the doc and he asked, "Can you tie your shoes yet?" (I was thinking; we only put our shoes on a couple of times a week!) But I said, "No, but he can recite all of Psalm 23!"
That is so funny. Love it!!!
