Homework fun!

So now that we are in our 5th week of school I now know homework time is a crazy time. John and James do work independently but they need to be quizzed on various things plus I need to talk to them so I understand what is going on before "they forget". Here is how the afternoon goes. The kids get off the bus and everyone makes a mad dash for the bathroom. Some like to hunker down in there to do their "reading" and take care of other things. Patrick is one of them which delays our one on one time. I use the time to go through their folders to see what is going on in school. Then its help Patrick complete his work with James asking for help too. In the meantime I have Tommy playing on the computer or watching TV quietly. To make things fun John has a Science test this week so I am quizzing him on what he needs to know. God help us next year if Tommy needs to hunker down in a bathroom after school because I think we will be in trouble. Oh yea - something to look forward too! LOL!
