Rachel asked....

Hi Rachel...love your name, by the way!! :) She asked if there were any activities my kids want to do that either we are unable to do, or just don't want to do. Well, hmmm...that is a hard question, because my kids would love to do anything and everything ever offered. Seriously. I make the joke that they would be the first in line to attend a funeral just to have something to do. I hear other families kids say they don't want to go somewhere and that shocks me. So, in some form, I am sure they feel slighted. We don't run all day every day. LOL!

The oldest two were in, or going to be in, basketball this year, but there weren't enough kids wanting to play. This surprises me, as we have a huge homeschool group. My third kid is in basketball currently. The oldest three were in robotics until recently. The youngers have been in basketball and soccer through the YMCA. They all do homeschool bowling once a month, and 4-H once a month too. I honestly try to discourage much more than that. Homeschooling has the tendency to lend itself to being way too busy, but then you put a large family into that mix, and that is a recipe for disaster. They would love more, but that is just their personalities, not because they are lacking.

Any more questions? I love a good topic starter. :)
