Fun Spring day!!

Pile in the kids, we're going to hear some music!! 

 Pick up = HD...AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!  Again!?

 Thankfully, CalTort is next door!!! 

HomeSchool Room tour!

I had a friend ask recently for some "homeschool room" thoughts and I took some photos to explain what/how/why I set things up the way I do...and I thought I'd share here too!  

So here is our beloved school room!

 James's "cozy corner": 

 Lots of reading and snuggles happen here:

 Best organization hack ever!! 

 James's desk:

 School computer:

Super cozy and happy!!! 

A winter of swim lessons, COMPLETE!

From January to May, we trudged through wind, snow, ice, rain and downright nastiness to persevere through weekly swim lessons, 45 minutes away.  

Everyone learned and grew...and I'm glad it's all over now!!

 James and I would have a "lunch date" and watch the big kids swim after his lesson was over.

It was FREEEEEEZING in the pool, but he was such a trooper...purple and shivering through his lessons.

We even persevered through a WIND storm one Friday.  Whew.

Snowstorms...

Thanks for teaching him to be sweet, Joshua...

"Here Mama!!"

Peanut Butter friends in a Chopped Suey World

Making books come to life!  Fun for the whole family! 

 (He was dirty and it was dinner time...we normally wear clothes to meals, LOL)

Cheesemaking & Barn-Raising!

Our friends led us in a cheesemaking class!

 Meanwhile...the men were outside building a shed-type-thing...

 We ladies diligently cheered them on ;)
