I was goin...Oh man, I've forgotted all about this! I was going to answer this a long time ago. So sorry about that!<BR/><BR/>Truth be told, we don't really have a room set aside for school. We usually use the kitchen table because I like to have Baba close by (and the kitchen is where I seem to spend most of my time). I do have a corner of the livingroom that has a cupboard with all of our school supplies in it . . . but that's overflowing onto a table in the living room, so I really need to organize that.<BR/><BR/>I do have a coat closet in the kitchen that isn't being used for coats, so I have a bookshelf in there with picture books, puzzles, coloring books, simple games, etc. that Margie can use while we're working on school. Lately, she's really into doing her own "schoolwork" which is just some preschool workbooks that I picked up at the homeschooling convention. I like the fact that her stuff is all in a closet so I can close it off when I need to, yet she still has easy access to it.<BR/><BR/>When I work on lesson plans and stuff like that I use my stamping room, which is in the basement. It's my own private space, and I find it easier to think when I'm down there. Plus, the family room is next-door, so I can have Junior there playing with toys or watching a video while I'm working.<BR/><BR/>Pictures? Ha! That would be scary. I'm soooo disorganized at the moment.<BR/><BR/>I do have a suggestion for your schoolroom--get a beanbag. The little guys will enjoy rolling around on it, and I bet Bobcat will snuggle up there for a read now and then.Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13344678571454210859noreply@blogger.com
