Older Stuff

My other blog is so crammed full of my stuff I wanted to transfer some of the homeschooling stuff over here. Here is a bunch of pictures from some of last years adventures, A camping trip to Walnut Grove ( laura Ingalls land) Eastman nature Center, homeschool work, yardsale goodies, lapbooking etc...

Pros and cons of homeschooling this year. The downfall has been keeping enough record. The girls have done a lot and learned so much. Emily is reading so well, is doing great at math, has learned so much. I need to do better at cataloging all this next year. I just realised I did not hand in her little report cards and have to do that in the morning! With the remodeling of the house this year I've been bad about it. Next year must be better. The other con has been the girls a little too isolated . I'm making strides to correct this. In the fall Emily will be in 4-H, I'm looking into the Elk River youth theater, and the homeschool chamber orchestra. Those 3 plus her little play dates should cover it. I'm so proud of them , how hard they work and what they know at their young ages. We love home schooling and looking forward to a productive new school year.

Picnic Day

Too cold to swim but we had a great day at the lake anyway.

Grad party

Some friends of ours had a graduation party for their son at a local park. Girls had such fun and Alison is now out cold

Keeping Busy

We've been running around a little. Went to Twin lakes for a picnic, Kelly Farm on children's day and to the back to the 50's carshow . We've had several playdates, bought a new pool, the playhouse is done enough to play in. Girls are having a pretty nice summer so far.
