I posted on Everything to Someone this morning about our homeschool plans for the year. But I thought I’d add a few more details here! Three weeks into school, I think we’re finding our groove. You can see that I’ve organized everything by bins. We have one for art supplies, one for school supplies and […]
Hmm, need to watch Importance of Being Earnest again one of these nights when Derek’s working late…

A homeschooling friend just told us about Art Trek open studio nights, a monthly night out to an art studio full of fun art activities for all ages. We decided we’d go this week and check it out. For $5 apiece, we could do as much art as we wanted–chalk drawings, painting on books and […]

After chipping her front tooth two years ago and again in April, Elizabeth has managed to lose the whole thing this time. She was out playing in the back yard after her bath, and we think she got her nightgown tangled in the (toddler size) scooter and flipped up over the handle bars, crashing face […]

I’m trying to get pictures up every day this week for Derek to see what we’re doing while he’s gone. Whew! There’s a reason I don’t blog every day anymore! Part of the girls’ “school” has been learning to sew. Susie is still working on cardboard lacing cards, but Elizabeth actually has a felt and […]
The kids are doing great in their second session of lessons!
