Day One of Life School (homeschool)

So if you are like me, sometimes I really just want to know what someone else's day looks like.  Here is what our yesterday looked like.  I think I am going to like this homeschooling thing!

These were my first pictures where I tried to capture the moment of starting school.  The boys thought it was too bright outside.



Here we are making a character tree.  We will put at apple on it each week after we finish learning about the certain character trait for the week.  I got the idea HERE.

This is me trying to shoot in manual.  I really need a lesson in photography.  It is actually a good representation of how most of our days are though, hee hee.

Did some castle building

These are the inside school shots I did.  Here is Eli "too cool for school"


Here is Hudson starting another year of Pre-k

And happy first day of kindergarten Noah!!!

This is what you do when you are desperate to clean the kitchen....you give your kids rice and let them go nuts.  Kind of backwards thinking since I spent 10 minutes cleaning it up.

Then we worked on some math

Played a really fun alphabet game that only Hudson liked...can you tell?

Some intense freeze dancing


Then made a treasure chest full of prizes.  If the boys fill up an entire sticker chart, they get to pick a prize

We ended the day with a super early bath at 3pm, but made it more fun with green water, bubbles and dinosaurs

Green Juice

My kids are like most...green=yuck. BUT for some reason, if you add enough oranges and apples to anything, it gets sweet. I love that I can even get my one year old to chug this stuff!

Need an intervention

I think this means we need to use our closet. But I propose that we move closets to the front door. That would be SO much easier.

Life...

Here are few of the things that are going on right now...

-Noah will be starting kindergarten in a few weeks.  I will not be waving at him with tears in my eyes (although I am SURE that I will have some serious breakdowns), because I am homeschooling him.  Yikes and yeah!!!

-Hudson will be attending two days a week of pre-school

-Eli is just crazy.  In a good way.  He is climbing on top of kitchen tables, throwing a ball (golfball to be exact, ouch!) overhand, and smiles constantly (as long as I am holding him!)

-Blaine is still trucking along at starting a photography company.  One day I am going to post some of his pics.  He is really good!

-I just had a week long break with out my two eldest (thank you Maw Maw Ella and Paw Paw Terry!) and so I got a ton of projects done!!!

-We are still just trucking along in life.  Nothing else really new going on.  God is good, family is a blessing, and we are up for another adventure whenever one comes our way :)

Pictures of life coming later :)

Long Hiatus

Oops.  I have forgotten about my blog.  Like literally I just remembered that I have one.  Well, I need to remedy that!
