Back to School

Nanny and Grammy came by and took their annual picture with the kids.
Only Nanny just took a picture of the kids and not with them.

Carlie, Makena, and Trey were pumped for their first day of homeschool!

Carlie watching her Bible video

See how happy he is :)
Makes me happy too!!

For his Science class we made a living flower exhibit.

Here it is with the flowers in it.  He made it himself, I only supervised!
This is something that he definitely wouldn't have gotten to do in school.
He enjoyed it a lot. 

Well, we made it!! Our first day of homeschool was a success.  We had a few minor technical difficulties first thing this morning with Carlie's computer not wanting to play her video's but other than that it went smoothly. The kids seemed to enjoy it.  We talked about their video teachers and the kids in their classes as well as one teacher that Makena thought was "adorkable" --her words, not mine!
The girls had homework (which they finished right after they were done watching videos for the day) but Trey will not have any until next week. He does have a couple of small quizzes this week.  The girls have quizzes almost everyday for the rest of the week!  ABeka is a tough curriculum but I wouldn't have it any other way!  I know that even though we don't have to take a standardized test (according to Arkansas state law), they will test above grade level on just about every subject.
Anyway, it has been a great day and we can't wait to see what tomorrow holds!

Much Love,
Beth

Three Doses of Happiness

Laundry piled up, dishes in the sink, phone buzzing with many emails, toys all over the house.......sounds like an absolute perfect time to go outside and relax with my kiddos! Today has been a VERY warm day.  It probably would be more enjoyable if we didn't know that it would more than likely storm tonight!  Carlie didn't go to school today because she was up a lot last night with stomach issues.  She never vomited, but she was very nauseated and has had stomach cramps.  She hasn't felt bad all day, just off and one.  We might be going to the doctor tomorrow p.m. because Sunday night I noticed that she has a little bulge above her belly button, I wasn't concerned about it (really) until her stomach started hurting and she said that it hurt to tough.  Maybe it's nothing, but people keep mentioning hernia to me.  Please pray that she feels better soon.  Also tomorrow is the big day....academic advising.  I remember the very first time I was advised (somewhere a
