More fun stuff




We built the Pinta, Nina, and Santa Maria (Columbus's ships) out of Aluminum foil. The kids did well building them. Then we sailed them in our bath tub. The kids had lots of fun. Hopefully it will help the information stick with them.


The kids are loving My Father's World curriculum so far. They like the lighter Friday schedule and so do I.

Another year started

Jeremiah made me feel like I was raising a good young man. He put on his Spider man swim suit and had his "Baby" He was being a good little daddy.




We started school last Monday. It is going well. I was afraid it would be hard to get back into the swing of things but they did wonderful. We are doing Lifepac for English, Math U See Beta for Math and My Father's World for the rest. I am liking MFW (my father's world) it is easy to follow. I think the kids are enjoying it too. We are talking about World History and meaning of Names. They even made necklaces with their names. In the Science, we are doing the egg in water and in salt water. They liked that one. (pictures above) So I will try to keep this blog better this school year but you all know how that is.
