We have had so much fun every day watching our birdfeeder through the window off our kitchen ~ identifying the different birds {and yelling at the squirrels}. And while this picture may have no kiddos in it, typically you will find one of them sitting on the floor with a chin propped in hands, watching out the window.

What’s so special about the above picture? During one of our Mystery of History lessons I looked over to see Zachary had rather…ummm…embellished his drawing with stick figures galore.

There’s even a crocodile in there up at the top. And nerf guns. It’s a odd mix between our Grapevine stick figures meeting a Trojan horse all in an effort to win Helen back.

And it just makes me smile. Because this is truly one of those lessons that he remembers…and didn’t get in trouble for because I was just laughing so hard at his creativity.

What’s so special about the above picture? It just made me smile since it was our second day back to school after break and Laurianna was so excited about her new math book. Enough so that she started her work early that morning and was reading it out loud and laughing with McKenna about it during breakfast.

The fact that we can sit, eat breakfast, and do school in our pajamas just makes me happy. :)

A dog. How exactly does that tie in with homeschooling? Well, the arrival of a dog into our household {for dog-sitting the next 2 weeks} officially marks the end of the first half of our year.

And this picture just makes me smile, because even though one would expect chaos when a dog entered the house, it actually has brought a calm to a few children as they sit, pet and read to the dog. I wasn’t able to snap a picture of our three youngest all surrounding the dog on her big ol’ pillow and reading story after story…but it was so cute and you’ll just have to take my word on it. :)

Don’t think that there aren’t 4 children in high hopes that we will be introducing a dog into our household in the near future…and I’ll be the first to admit that I’m warming up to the idea…shhhhh!

Moments to Remember ~ Reading Together

Photobucket

Moments to Remember was developed as a simple way to look back on our week as homeschoolers and find photos that encompass the memories we want to remember. 

The week may have been tough, there may have been more bumps than smiles, but in the end these are the moments that keep us going, the ones we need to remember.

 

We have two kiddos that are in constant combat with each other. Their personalities are both so strong and similar that inevitably someone is bothering someone and I’m intervening. That’s why the picture below was such a happy moment for me this week.

Zachary really doesn’t like to read, but McKenna offered to sit down with him and let him read out loud to her from a book and PATIENTLY helped him sound out words and encouraged him as he read.

I seriously about cried because it just made my heart so happy…and don’t think that I’m not about ready to print this picture off and FRAME IT to remember the moment next time things go awry.

Two little boys. Working hard on their math together ~ Zachary using fractions to help measure ingredients for cookies and Kaleb helping him count and mix. Kaleb wasn’t supposed to help, but Zachary let him pull up a chair and then was so very encouraging:

“Good job, Buddy! Keep stirring it like that!”

Just a super sweet moment this week {in between the wrestling that took place practically every other moment…}.
