One of my "addictions" during fall and winter are smores. I LOVE smores, but recently I was talking to my sister and I said something about eating smores, "what is that?" she said. How could I forget! people haven't discovered smores in Costa Rica!!! I tried them here for the first time. So I decided that on my next trip home my mission will be to spread the word, to enrich people's lives.... I may start a new business down there, I would have little fire pits on each table and let people roast their own marshmallows!!
Changing the subject, this is a touchy one. But I'm really tired of the homeschooling pressure, many of my friends homeschool their kids, and that's great for them, but it really isn't for me, plus I don't see the need to homeschool here, however, they have a way of making me feel like they're better moms because they homeschool. Subtly they comment about the "terrible" school system and the horrible morals the kids will be exposed to in school. Every time I just listen and nod, they already know I'm not going to homeschool, but they keep trying to change my mind. I guess I get mad at myself for not saying anything, like why I won't homeschool, but I don't say anything because I don't want to offend them. Anyways, I better get back to my smores propagation plan.

saturday night, hayride and bon fire at jenny's dad's land. we will be making smores. tell rider to bring you.
one...This is the first i am hearing of the Hay-Ride & Bon-Fire.
Second. I agree...Homeschooling is way over-rated. Maybe some kids do great...but alot are socially handicapped. not to mention, how many kids have come to know Christ by being invited to church by a Christian friend. I remember that my old Youth Pastor said these wise words. If you home school your kids to keep them "Good" and out of the immoral school system; they are "Good for nothing" because they do not come into contact with kids that need a Christian witness in their life.
Plus...the only hot girl at school is your sister...and that is just plain weird!
I wouldn't let anyone make you feel bad. I LOVE that my kids are in public school. I know I am only two years in but I also feel that if Sam and I are teaching our kids Gods word and showing it through our own lives I trust and know God will take care of them. I am not stupid to think that my kids will never be faced with bad stuff or making the wrong choice because if you put your kids on a pedastle and say that my kid would never do that you are only setting yourself up. As you can tell I am pretty passionate about this subject. I could go on and on, but I won't. Bottom line it is nobody else's decision but Stephen and yours so don't let andybody make you feel bad. I hope that helps.
I don't have much to say about homeschooling but I do love me some
Smores! Get that business going.
