We had some fun family time that included a contest from our Project Yes book. Brian won by stacking 7 dice on his popsicle stick! The other picture is Nathan and Oliver catching a nap after Nathan worked on his stack of morning work. We are reading “Oliver Twist” for read aloud and it’s pretty …

Week 25
This week we had a snow day! That was pretty exciting and Nathan made some water balloons to freeze. We also had Valentine’s Day and Oliver’s 1st birthday this week. We also did science experiments making clouds with different amounts of warm water and a match. It was a productive week!
Week 24
We had a pretty productive week even with a snow day and our supervising teacher’s visit. The boys ended the week with a sleepover with their cousin!
Week 23
Samuel’s birthday week!! We got some school done but took off his actual birthday to celebrate. I think I’m ready for things to calm down so we can accomplish more but it’s been fun having 4 day weeks!
Week 22
We had a short homeschool week because of my birthday!! Otherwise, the highlight of the week was our science experiment! Another birthday is coming up next week so we’re just getting as much done as we can around the fun!

The boys wrote an ad to sell their chosen item—Samuel picked dog treats and Nathan picked Cinders! Next week is our first and only …
Week 19
Back to school this week! Monday was still a holiday but we started back Tuesday. Unfortunately, on Wednesday, our water heater broke and the week felt crazy from that point on. I didn’t get any pictures but we started back up and things went pretty smoothly. We will take Monday off because our new water …
Week 18 + Christmas Break
Our last 3 days of school were done by advent candlelight, which was a huge hit. We then jumped right into Christmas celebrations!! Gingerbread houses, family time and games… plus, Nathan’s 13th birthday!! All the kids are teens until the twins’ bday! We celebrated the new year early so I could head to bed! A …
Week 17
This week, we are on the road to wrapping up subjects for break. Samuel graduated from book 8 in Barton so that’s a big deal (there are only 10 levels). We went on a field trip this week to a manuscript library. We got a boarding pass from the Titanic and then looked for an …
