First Day of School 2017-18

We all got up early on the first day of school and had Muffins and Juice!

 We decided to just relax and do school in our pajamas!!




Hudson & Beckham especially loved our Calendar and Weather area!  They are practicing learning their Months, Days, and Weather words! 






We bought Window Crayons and the boys love doing their math on the windows!!

New School Year 2017-2018

We started our new school year on August 14th, 2017.  We are really looking forward to this school year, it is our 7th year Homeschooling!  It is also a very significant year as Katy is a Senior in high school, so it is her last year of homeschool! (Cue the tears and sniffles!)

And to make it even more significant...the boys started Kindergarten this year!!

We also started the day off with fun First Day of School festivities and gifts!


Mackenzie & Katy stayed up late the night before getting our school area all ready for the big day!




 Everyone got a new Journal notebook ad pencils and a stocked up Pencil Box!!
