Homeschool progress, week ? (honestly can't keep track:)

Our homeschooling is going great.  Of course, as per usual, we are just trying to keep up with all the things that our life involves.  Last week we went to the Mainstay Farms in Cleburne.  They have a pumpkin patch so a few of us went and enjoyed a few hours.  Planning on going to the Arboretum with the nations best pumpkin display in the next few weeks.  I just love this time of year with all the fall things, pumpkins, gourds, hay, scarecrows, etc.  Now if we could just get consistent fall weather, maybe in the 60s, it would be perfect! 
We have been studying lots.  Peyton is still getting used to the concept and differences of homeschooling.  He likes to do the parts he wants, when he wants, and when he wants... such a boy.  So he and I have been  butting heads a little and learning respect, obeying, and completing things correctly as well.  It is a slow and tedious process but I am confident I will succeed and he will learn.  That boy sure has a temper but honestly I guess I am not surprised at that... it has to spill out somewhere with that Copeland nature in him.  We all have to learn to handle it. 
Jaedyn's work is signifigantly harder but she loves the science and history. So much to learn and she just soaks it up.  So surprised at all the things she is retaining and applying.  Good thing she is good in math.  I haven't had to call in reinforcements yet but  I see that coming. :)  She is a diligent worker and loves to learn, but I guess that comes with being a girl.  The differences in boys/girls and personalities is so widely different in my two. 
Still feel so blessed I am able to help them learn and be with them.  Such a privilege to see an area, whether in academics or character, that needs addressing and be able to do it right away in a Godly way (I pray).  I love reading with them and learning right alongside them as well.
