Homeschooling
Fun in the Sun
The weather here in Colorado is crazy! One day it is 70 , the next it is snowing and freezing, then back to 70 the next day. Seriously! Last week on one of the so-so days we had some fun outside. Wasn’t too cold, wasn’t too hot. The boys did floor puzzles on the sidewalks, we colored the sidewalks with chalk. We ate lunch on a blanket in the grass, fun! To top it off… the boys went for the costume drawer, which is always a hit. this is a Buzz Lightyear, IronMan Hybrid LOVE this life!!
The Homeschool Mother’s Journal – Week 8
Thanks to the Homeschool Chick and The Kelley Eight I will now be journaling this fantastically crazy journey we are on. I am thrilled, excited and thankful! Week #8: In my life this week… Working out some issues and questions I have with theology, fun week – eh! I have had many concerns about some things I have heard preached by a popular pastor. The best thing to come out of it was me diving into the Bible and some Commentaries. Interestingly, my oldest asked about why Peter started to sink on the lake… this is one of the topics I was researching. Perfect timing as usual, thanks God! In our homeschool…
A Spring Field Trip
We went to a wonderful, several acre outdoor space with gardens and ponds. Everything is just starting to turn green, flowers are popping up, ducks are swimming in the ponds. The air was crisp, fresh, perfect. We walked around for 2 hours, discovering. They have a super fun kids area, the kids can climb rocks, sit in a “cave”, and jump all around. They also had a dock by the stream, perfect for pretending -this day, it was a huge ship that we all lived on. :O)

Remember These?
I have such fond memories of watching my teacher use a felt board to tell a story. LOVED it so much. Gathering around her and finding a comfy spot to watch the story unfold. Always wanted to get some to play with as a kid but never did, seemed like a teacher “exclusive” item. I looked at my local Education store and they are so expensive I could not justify the cost. However, now that I started to homeschool I went to my favorite consignment sale to find educational materials. Imagine how excited I was to find a Storyboard Felt set. Nothing fancy, in fact it looks like it could be from…
