We read about King Sargon today, and the big kids are coloring pictures and maps. Susie is entertaining herself with Lumi-doh (Thank you, Aunt Terri!) And this is how Janie homeschools…don’t worry, I pulled her off right after taking the picture!
Breakfast Win

What do you know, if you add a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips to the oatmeal, Janie will eat thirds!
Second Day of School
Posted in Elizabeth, Homeschooling, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Aug 27th, 2014
Yesterday was a little rougher than Monday. I didn’t get up as early, and the kids were a bit crabby. Susie in particular is just testing limits nonstop, all day long. But we still survived!

We got home yesterday and are trying to get organized. But since today is Janie’s 17 month birthday, I’ll do a quick update on her! I had a really sweet morning alone with her last week while Grandma and Grandpa took the big kids to the MO State Fair. One thing that I discovered was […]

One more state til MO!

Over the past month, both of her bottom first molars have come in (sloooooowly), so she’s been a bit sleep deprived and cranky. But she’s starting to say words! Her favorite word is Mama, though she’s been known to say hi, bye-bye, boo (=blueberries, her favorite food), and maaaa (=milk). She can say dada, though […]
The Switch
Posted in Janie on Jul 14th, 2014
I’d given the girls some apple slices after dinner as a snack, then Derek unexpectedly asked me to make rice krispie treats. Once those were done, I announced that anyone who had finished eating could have one. Next thing I knew, two empty-handed girls were reaching for rice krispies. I didn’t realize how they’d finished […]
