Monday: Today was a unique day because we did a “child swap” with another family. We had their son, Sebastian come here on Sunday to sleepover with Jayden. In turn, Chloe went to their house to spend the night with her friend Sasha. It is great to have a family that has children for each […]
A Monday: Martin Luther King Day brings our 3rd Annual Food Drive. After we moved here 3 years ago, Barack Obama became the 44th President. With Martin Luther King Day approaching he urged everyone to get out into their community and do something in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. So we did. We […]
A Monday: Our first day back went so much smoother than I expected. It was nice that we did not have to run off to any activities so we were able to get back to a”school” routine. We are back to our year of learning about the Presidents of the United States. This week we […]
A Monday: We had another museum and music lesson day. What made this one unique is that while sitting at the museum, eating lunch, I realized we had forgotten their music books and Chloe’s violin. We had to drive the 30min home and 30min back making us late for their music lesson. A Wednesday: Another […]
Monday: This week brought about another Museum/Music Lesson Monday. The RMSC was our destination this week since we have been to the Strong National Museum of Play the previous two times. The kids were excited to get to RMSC. We spent much of our time in Light Here/Light Now making a large bubble to pop, […]
Monday: Our kids usually enjoy science and history/geography the most because they are the most hands on. This week was no exception in our science studies. We are starting out this year with the solar system. This week was all about phases of the moon. The kids LOVED this one which is called Tasty Phases […]
Monday: Every other Monday is museum and music lesson Monday. This week was one of those weeks. My husband Joey had such an enjoyable time 2 weeks ago with the kids that he decided to take another day off and spend it with us at the Strong National Museum of Play again! He was not […]
In stark contrast to last week, this week we were free to stay home, instead of running everyday. Then we were surprised with a beautiful late fall heat wave and sun fest! As we were riding our bikes through our neighborhood at 1 o’clock on Tuesday, soaking in the sun, I was thinking to myself, […]
Sunday: To close out Fire Prevention Week our local fire hall had their annual open house. Given that our state requires us to cover fire prevention and safety each year this is a good way for us to review these topics each year. The kids love this time of year, one for the firehouse visit, […]
Monday: Today was a busy, busy, stay at home and work done day. This week and next are short due to activities out of the house and our 4 day camping weekend so we have to take advantage of the few full days we are home. Tuesday: We started Tuesday with a trip to the […]
Monday: This started out as any other ordinary week. We went to the Strong National Museum of Play in the morning. Then music lessons from 2-3pm. This was Jayden’s 2nd lesson from Mike and it went very well. Jayden’s “gaming fingers” make him a natural at the piano. There has been talk of Chloe wanting […]
Monday: We started our Map Drawing with lines of latitude this week. This step seems to be easy for the kids so we will move on to longitude next. Check out my Hip Homeschool Hop post from Tuesday to see more details about this. Tuesday: Tuesday was a special day for Chloe. Poppy finally helped […]
