Homeschooling Week 3!!!

Week 3 went fairly well!  We are still having a hard time getting in a good grove and coming up with a schedule that works for us :(  Baby K has done away with a morning nap now.  She really needed to be done with it a month or 2 ago but I tried to hold on!!!  But now that she is not napping in the morning A and I have lost our "alone" school time.

We need to figure out another solution for when to do school or something to keep Baby K entertained with while we do school.  Right now she usually stands at my chair and just screams at me :(  Which makes teaching and learning very difficult.  Hopefully in the coming weeks I will be able to really set a schedule and have it work!!!  Do you have something that works well for you while teaching an older one with a baby in the house?  All suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
