A Short Update
We have been making a ton of presents. I can't reveal most of them because it may ruin surprises but along with all of the Christmas presents we have been making we have been doing full days of school as well. We are trying to stay ahead so that with all the trips we're planning on going on this next year we don't have to go into July.
Just a few things we have done this month. Maybe I might post about our trip to Rockport. We'll see. I've been kind of spotty with my blogs so you never know what might happen.
Here are the girls making homemade play dough. So much fun!! |

Motorcycle... School
We took some pictures in September. I know I know. I should've had them on my blog a long time ago if I took them in September! Well, that's not how I roll. I want to roll in organization and get stuff posted right after it happens but that's not how it works here. So, giving myself grace, knowing that I post for family and friends that aren't able to see the girls much... here ya go!

Tuesday of Week 5
If you look closely you can see a little sprout on this one. |
Alyssa started a writing class for an hour and 15 minutes on Mondays. This was her first day of "school". |
Here is the bean seed a day later. A bigger sprout has grown. |
Today we were like the Navajo Indians and made sand paintings. The Navajo Indians would destroy their paintings after they were done but we are going to keep ours. I kind of like them. |
Here are their finished projects! |
We have studied a little about the United States the 3rd and 4th weeks of school, and studied a whole year of it last year. The 5th-this week-and the 6th week we are "in" Mexico. We have passports that we have to use to "get into" the country. We are reading about Cameron Townsend a missionary to Guatemala. (We are learning about North America as well as the different countries in North America.) So far it has been a great year. We are halfway through our 5th week and only have had a few hiccups. So glad that I get the opportunity to teach my kids! |

Update
Just thought you'd like an update on how school is going. It's going very well. I am super excited to teach my kids countries and cultures this year. I am learning so much with them. I guess I didn't pay attention or just forgot most of the stuff I learned in elementary. Hopefully I will have a chance to post pictures later but as for now, I need to go make lunch. The familiar sound of "I'm HUNGRY!" Is being yelled at me.

Getting Warmed Up
We are finishing up our second week of school. It's going very well. I didn't mention in my last post that we are also using "Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons" for Natalie and also Explode the Code. The curriculum is EXCELLENT! Here's a picture from this week, not during school hours but still fun nonetheless.
