We got our Christmas cookies baked last weekend! They were really good and they’re gone already. We may have to make more next year! We had a short week of school but we did manage to sneak in a fun (even though Nathan doesn’t look like he’s having fun) science game! Friday was off school …

Week 15
This week we were back at work! We started Advent for our Bible time. Nathan and Oliver huddled around the heat vent one morning for work. We started our new read aloud, “Peter Pan”. Samuel finished his math level and will start the next one next week!
Week 14
We had two days of school this week so we focused on our science experiment about plate tectonics. Lily started her new job so that was exciting!! Oliver got a new look for the holiday but ended up staying home with Hunter, who was sick. Then, we managed to get our trees decorated so we …
Week 13
Hunter and Lily turned 19 on Sunday! We had a good, quiet day celebrating them. It was tough getting them up because the pets were comfy in their beds. Nathan, Oliver and I had some fun walks in the snow this week. We watched a science video on plate tectonics this week, leading up to …
Week 12
The only picture of school this week is Nathan falling asleep at the end of the school day with Oliver. At least he got his work done first! Lily met some new cats at the shelter. Cinders got a Christmas toy and we got some snow! So exciting!! In school, we finished our Roanoke study …
Week 11
We had Monday off for Halloween! The boys got plenty of candy. Samuel did some extra houses so he has a whole extra bowl to eat. Ha! He has shared with me! Otherwise, it was school as scheduled. In science, we made a model of the earth’s layers. In history, we are reading and evaluating …
Week 10
This week in history, we did a “Build Your Own Settlement” game. Nathan’s settlement had to withstand a hurricane and he lost most of it. Samuel’s had to withstand a blizzard and his survived okay. Samuel got his learner’s permit and is signed up for driver’s ed so we need to get him out learning …
Week 9
None of these pictures have anything to do with school this week! Nathan has a new room, kinda! He moved over into the extra space upstairs to make it feel a little more separated. The twins love Oliver so just some daily pictures of them! Samuel and Brian did the one chip challenge and I …
Week 8
This week was shortened due to appointments and a field trip! We did manage to get our types of rock science experiments done. Our field trip was to Bloomsbury and it was cold and extremely windy! We still had fun getting out!
Week 7
The star of this week was science! We took a trip to a park to get rock and soil samples. We did rock tests and then a soil experiment that took a few days. After our experiment, Sam wondered if the soil water would show live creatures under a microscope so we had a spontaneous …
