Our week....

Some things I did this week... I found these darling decorations at Hobby Lobby this week for the girls' rooms for $2.99 each. I am not sure what they are meant for, but I suspended them from the ceiling and love how they look. They were in the outside decor aisle. I also got a blue dragonfly, and a big yellow daisy for each of them, but am only posting pictures of these. Super cute, if I do say so myself.

I also found a cheap $1.99 letter "R", spray painted it black and hung it by our front door. I like it a lot. Yay.



Casey.......

Then there is the POOCH! He sleeps like this sometimes and it is hilarious. Such a BOY!! We have figured out how to get him to stop yipping all night: put his kennel in our bedroom at night!!! A friend of ours suggested it and it really worked!! The potty training is going.......well.......I don't know what to say. Some days I think he's got it and then the next day he has lots of accidents, so then I think we are back at square one. The kids are having a ball with him and hate to be away from him for too long. If we run an errand, we put him in his kennel so he won't have any accidents (they won't poop or pee where they sleep) and when we get home, they kids run like mad to let him out and give him loves. He is so playful 1st thing in the morning, like 5:30am!! Geez. He really is cute. Such a darling little puffball.

About Homeschooling....

School went well this week. My set of McGuffey readers came, so I was thrilled to not have to borrow anymore. We really spent a lot of time on counting money and telling time. I also had her do at least 2 math worksheets a day, or more if she wanted. I decided I really want to have us all memorize The Articles of Faith, so we are working on the 1st one and I will be having Sasha have them as her handwriting assignment during the week. I found a great book at the library full of winter activities; experiments and such, so we will be doing that in the coming weeks. Our homeschooling friends, the Shingletons, will be joining us once a week for our "winter fun". They are great friends!

This week was the 1st week back after Christmas Break and it was not as hard to focus back on school as I thought it would be. (I'm talking me too, not just Sasha!!). I am however on the hunt for another book to supplement my curriculum. The book I tried, that outlines what she needs to know this year was not as in depth as I would have liked. Live and learn, I guess. Trial and error. I am just glad I have a great network of homeschoolers I can seek guidence from. Anyway, things are going great and I am still glad I have gone this route......just in case you were wondering.....
