Graduation......

We participated in the Graduation of North Carolinians for home education.... It was in Winston-Salem at Benton convention center. There was 134 graduates and they had a speaker, music and then the presenting of diploma's from parents to graduate.
I don't know who is happier it's over.....Boys or me
It has been a blessing to have them home and I enjoyed many aspects of home schooling. However, as the work was harder so was being their teacher.
I love all my son's and wouldn't trade spending the last 3 years (total 5) home schooling. They grow up way to fast....And yes I did cry.(a little)
