The rest of March

Celebrating Rainbow Day at Makenna's house during homeschool! She always makes it so fun! On St. Patrick's Day, the kid's dressed in their tye-dye shirts and bows they made at art class with BreAnn, and that night we had Jeffrey and Cora over for some Irish Stew and Soda Bread. Good Times.




Lindy getting Benson to laugh



We used our Thanksgiving Point pass again and went with some neighbors of ours who also homeschool. It was a fun break day from the usual grind. My favorite parts were watching Gwen conquer the swings and being able to pump herself and watching Lindy have no fear and jump right onto the zipline, over and over again. Unfortunately Miles started feeling sick as soon as we left to get lunch at a fun pizza place.


Richie loves working with the kids in the garden. He's even getting Benson in on the action. Here they are working on turning the old play house into the chicken coop.


Caught Benson after rolling from back to tummy for the first time!


We were studying Volcanoes for science, so we made a really quick one, on a Sunday afternoon.



Homeschool day at BreAnns- Benson with baby friend Rennick, and the kids making their Columbus boats out of fruit.



Art Class here again- This time talking about Form. We made found art sculptures. :) Basically just arranging recyclables onto a cardboard surface, and then spray painting it all one color. They were surprisingly into this!



Homeschool days- Some shots of our day-to-day home school life. Recently, we started making some changes to our homeschool routine. It always seems like once you find a good groove, it's time to chance it again. So now we do our every day stuff (math, and reading mostly) 3 days a week. (MWF) And then Tuesday we do history/homeschool group all day. And Now we're using Thursdays to run errands, go to the library, or do fun field trips. It's letting everyone breathe a little more freely.


Celebrating March Birthdays! Gwen, Lindy and Grandma! (Missing Amanda!)


Two Sisters playing in the rain


We got screamin deals on tickets to go see some awesome plays last week. Gwen and I got to go see "7 Brides for 7 Brothers" at the Hale Center Theater. It was so fantastic!! We went with some others from our home school group and had such a great time. Then later in the week, Miles and Dad got to go with some in the homeschool group to go see the Broadway version of "Lion King" up in SLC. They raved about it! Such fun outings.


The kids spent a good chunk of time arranging their new fairy garden. I'm glad they had fun with it!
