What's New in Our Life
Signs of spring! Our farmer neighbors, dubbed "The Farmer Guys" buy the children, plowed our garden on Sunday. It was a beautiful week and we are seeing buds on the trees.
Homestead Happenings
I had a wonderful Sunday at church. The spirit was really strong, and the fellowship was great. It was a beautiful day and the children spend the day outside enjoying the weather. Lucas got to play in the sandbox and Quinten decided to build this. He had been inspired by a few things we saw on Pinterest. He designed and built it himself with recycled materials we had on hand.
Monday we re-arranged and cleaned our kitchen. The weather was amazing so we cut our school day a bit short and just did the basics, math, vocabulary and grammar.

Tuesday we went to storyhour. We met up with some friends. It was a Seuss theme day. The children make truffula trees and watched the Cat in the Hat. Then we headed over to a Sisters house and did some service work. It was a beautiful day and the boys washed her car. I love getting out to visit! We stopped for a few groceries then headed home. The older children did some writing and math and we all headed outside. Spring fever has a very strong hold on us right now. We spent the evening dancing to some you tube videos and ended it with the older Lorax cartoon.
Wednesday and Thursday we did our basic lessons and some reading. We started a few science projects for next week. We also watched a documentary on ancient Egypt.
Fri we skipped formal lessons. We made lunch for the missionaries and they did an object lesson for Isaac about baptism and conformation. Then we had some amazing storms and spent the afternoon enjoying them

ReplyDeleteSo good to read about your great week may your week ahead be a good one too :)
Love the picture of the boys on the tire swing-you can see the love they have for each other, so sweet.
ReplyDeleteAn accomplished week! When do you get your family reading aloud time in with the kids? I always seem to start a book, but we don't always get back to it! (I'm reading aloud "The Phantom Tollbooth" right now.)
ReplyDeleteI also love the photo of boy on the tire swing!
Love the pics!!! Tell everyone hi from Aunt Cathy!
