School Days

I wanted to post some pics from this week. They are working so hard and having lots of fun.

I truly feel blessed to be able to have my babies home with me.

First day of school

Look at my little cuties!

We started school this week. It is going really well so far. The girls are loving the workbox system I have implemented. It is making life easier for every one. This year we are doing a unit study of Around the World. For science we are study the animals in each country. We use a Singapore and Horizon for math. Rocket Phonics and explode the code for reading instruction. I really love homeschooling. It seems like such a natural part of our day now.

Way to go Hannah!!!

Mini- Vacation

So our little mini-vacation came and went so quickly. We went to Lake Geneva, WI. Steve and I have not been there since we first found out we were pregos with Payton. Man times have changed since then.

Here is a picture Parker packing his bag.

Hannah showing her strength!

Payton giving it a try (a little easier the way she did it).

A day at the park

As summer is winding down I find myself trying to extend it as much as possible. We have been to the park three or four times in a week. The kids love going with their friends and cousins. It is so nice to just sit back and watch the fun happen.

Favorite Quotes

Hannah seeing Joey coming into the room with a Cubs shirt. " I think I am going to be sick."

Parker told Steve that he wanted him to get a fast car. Steve said "I am sorry Daddy does not have the money." Parker " I thought you made money at work, dude!"

The girls fighting in the back seat very loudly. Parker chimes up "Let's play the quiet game. One, two, three, GO!"

Steve asks if anyone wants to camp out in the backyard. Payton"No thanks I like actual rooms."

Summer fun

How do you cool off in the summer heat?
