It's been a while

It's been a while since I've gotten on here. I want to try to get on here at least once a month to update. The last time was was March! But the picture was Christmas! We've been so busy. We joined a great co-op group in February and we're enjoying it so much! Next week is out last day until the fall though. We plan to keep busy this summer with swimming, camping, schooling, and just doing fun things. Updated pics and activities hopefully to follow soon.

100th Day of School

Here on this post I am putting pictures of our 100 days of school celebration. I had found so many great ideas that I decided the children would just participate in the centers instead of our regular work. They had some challenges and some easy activities, but enjoyed it so much it didn't feel like work! I thought pictures would be nice in case anyone wanted some ideas!
Below are pictures of the kids working on the "centers" for our 100th day of school!

Our busy little schooler participating in activities! The picture on the right is his completed trail mix before baggin' and eatin'!

The picture here on the left and several below are pictures of the activities before they children began.

Below are the three special 100 day breakfasts I made for each of them!

shown above are N's 100th day breakfast(gluten free homemade waffles and raspberries) and still sleepy J with his.

The two plates of food above are J's (on left, french toast stick and strawberries) and A's on the right (two over easy eggs with toast and red grapes). YUMMY! We all ended up having some of the homemade waffles!(new recipe).

Our School Room Fall/winter 2010-2011

These are pictures I took of our school room amost ready just before we started school. I've made a few changes due to the addition of the new baby and having to make room for a crib for her. I now have four desks on the one wall where the two are and where the little one is in front of the window I now have a desk for myself. It's a little crammed, but we're making it work. Because I had to move the desk into our school room, I had to move the workboxes. I am not thrilled with their placement, but for now it'll have to do! We are planning on putting our home up for sale soon and looking for a bigger home that is closer to my husbands job. We use our kitchen table a lot too, thankfully it's big!!

It's been a while since I have been on here! It's been quite the challange with a newborn, a toddler (2), a 10 and 12 year old! Always in transition!! I will be uploading new pictures soon. We been enjoying some fun activities for Valentine's day and our 100th day of school! I had such a fun time finding and putting together activities I found. The kids loved them! Thanks to all for the great comments!
