Just another day...


I thought I'd add some of the projects we've been doing for homeschool. We're reading through the Sonlight PreK Curriculum for ages 3 and 4 books. We read a Bible story a day from the Children's Bible and sometimes do a craft.
Other books we're going through:

The Little Hands Nature Book


Wow! I'm Reading!


Math Play!

Developing the Early Learner (Levels 1-4)

Handwriting Without Tears

We add a new letter each week and practice writing, sounds, do crafts, and several worksheets from websites. Here are some sites I frequent :


Washington Park




Janna took these, I can't get over how beautiful it is here in the fall!

More Fall Fun!!!

Aren't I sweet at 12 weeks?


Fall is Here!





We just got back from apple picking for the first time this season! The kids had a blast despite the cold! Even Timothy joined in. We enjoyed just baked apple cider donuts after our picking was done. Crunchy and cinnamony, nothing like Indian Ladder Farm's cider donuts!

Timothy's Surgery

So his hernia surgery went great! It's amazing how quickly he seemed to be back to his normal self.

Mat Man

I thought this was so cool...Ethan is doing a Handwriting Without Tears workbook. In it is this Mat Man activity that supposedly improves kids ability to draw people. They build a person from template pieces and then copy everything from their person to their picture. It really made a dramatic difference for him. These were all drawn the same day.
