Jumpers
28/365 We had a blast in our jump-roping class at co-op this week. AND I remembered to take a photo!
Snow football
27/365 The boys were invited to a friend’s house today to play “football in the snow.” Alayna got to go along to play with the girl siblings of the football players. I only got to snap a few photos when I dropped off the kids. The tackling began immediately, but a football was no where…
Coffee girl
26/365 This is Jayda’s favorite toy. It keeps her busy for long stretches of time. It’s the Keurig K-cup carousel. It comes with a wonderful accessory. A stack of small paper cups. The girl will sit and separate all of the cups. Then she takes the K-cups and places each one inside a paper cup….
Leap of faith
25/365 Isn’t this a sight that makes your stomach leap into your chest? Or perhaps it makes your heart fall into your stomach? This is something we see frequently at our house. By frequently, I mean about 20 times a day. Every other baby in this family has learned at an early age to crawl…
Radishes!
25/365 As part of our science curriculum this year, we are growing vegetables. Honestly, I have been dreading this part of our studies since we got the science kit in the mail back in August. I wasn’t looking forward to trying to create a greenhouse for a bunch of radish plants in the middle of…
The Twenty-One Balloons
24/365 We had a very light day of school work today. I have been fighting a nasty cold, and I wasn’t feeling well today. Matthew had a fever nearly all day. We all felt well enough this afternoon to read one of our last chapters of “The Twenty-One Balloons.” We have all really enjoyed this…
My helpers
23/365 The kids are a huge help to me with my job at The Sanctuary. They love being able to pitch in and do their part when they know they are serving people at church. We usually get to church on Sunday mornings at least an hour early to set stuff up. The past few…
3 of 52
I’m taking one photo a week of the four kids standing in front of the same tree. This was our coldest photo yet! It was 18 degrees at 1:30 p.m. We are expecting a high of 20 today. 2 of 52 1 of 52
Back to co-op and more skating
21/365 We have all been getting excited about starting back to our home-school co-op this week. For the first time, I am teaching two classes, so I had lots of preparing to do. We also were excited because our co-op moved to a new location, and we wanted to see what it would be like….
Music lovers
20/365 I love the fact that my kids are now old enough to really enjoy music and have preferences about what they want to listen to. Last week, Andrew asked if we could download a song he had been hearing on the radio by the Christian group, the Newsboys. I have been a little leary…
