I have totally neglected this week's blog hop post (yes, school has started!). We are so, so busy and have been putting our school room to good use. I love seeing their work going up on the bulletins and the completed work in the trays. Ah, back to our routine. Well... for the most part. If you can't take a field trip on the fourth day of school, what's the point in homeschooling? Just kidding, but we are off to the beach today as soon as we get a few of the academics out of the way. Just popped in to introduce my amazing students!

Awww, they really are the best of friends. They love pretending to be pirates and exploring. I love watching them do it!.JPG)
This is the fourth grader. If he could just explore tide pools from dawn til dusk and go frog catching after dark, he would be the happiest guy on the planet! I absolutely love watching the way his curious mind works!.JPG)
This darling girl is our second grader. I am contemplating changing her name to The Huntress, or Xena, or something along those lines. She has this amazing ability to find sea creatures...giant crabs, fish, shrimp. Of course after she catches them, she is usually horrified, but she is amazing!.JPG)
And finally... the baby. He is technically in PreK, but since he begged to "go to kindergarten", I caved. Guess, we'll be doing two years of kinder over here! Basically, this child does whatever he wants (and usually gets away with it because he's hilarious!).
So far, we are off to an excellent start! Loved seeing all of the beautiful student photos over at Heart of the Matter. Hope your year shows lots of promise, too.
What sweet students! Thanks for introducing them to us. I hope you have a blessed school year.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the post. Your children are adorable and your descriptions of them show how much you think of your children (which is refreshing in today's world where too many parents are ready to speak of only the negative). I've been checking each day for a new post but I didn't want to say anything about there not being one because I knew how incredibly busy you must be now that school has started. And I know that will always be your first priority...rightly so. I'm just so happy to have found a place that puts into words what I've been thinking about for the last several months. Maybe one day I'll be courageous enough to do what you were finally able to do. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteAwe your lil crew is so cute...they all look so happy...could you imagine them in PS not being able to go to the beach and having fun?! I am sure they love this more then anything and to know your the one guiding them in the ways of life is always amazing...I am so happy that you introduced us to all your kiddos...keep up all the fun and laughter and cherish all the moments you get with your family!
