Homeschool Blues
We're in a bit of a homeschooling rut. Fortunately, we're only in kindergarten, and we're well ahead of most of our son's age-mates. Last week we were sick, so we took a few sick-days off. Since then, we have only done Bible and math. We haven't done phonics or handwriting in almost 2 weeks. It's not really that big of a deal since we're ahead, BUT I sure wish I (we?) could get a little more motivated.

Don't fret about it. I'm of the opinion that formal education for those under 8-10 is rather like solid food for those under a year: not where they should be getting most of their nourishment anyway, although if you want to do a little it won't hurt them. Just have fun doing real life stuff together, and they'll learn far more than any other way.
Thanks for the comment. Of course, you're right. My latest adventure in real-life teachable moments happened at the grocery last week. I was showing my son how to weigh produce on the scales and the entire scale fell off of its hook. It didn't fall on us, fortunately, but I guess a falling scale can be a teachable moment in itself... :-)
Yes, not only did you study math, but, via the law of gravity, physics! ;-)
