We're back from the river, Mom.


exploring the creek




 First, they were all getting algae on the tip of their sticks.  The next thing I know, Sophia comes up the hill with this giant glob of algae in her bare hands!  It was bigger that my hands!  Gross!


I love homeschooling.

 Sophia getting her own snack
 boys laying on my legs on the floor in the kitchen while Philip reads to all of us--I don't remember how we all ended up there like that but it was a sweet moment.

playing in the backyard

 Sophia is putting post-its that she wrote messages on all over the playset while Philip is bopping her on the head with his stick-bat he was playing with.
 Philip does things with swings that I don't even think of.

Easter Celebration at Grandma Helen's house

 Mandy organized all the kids into the dining room to listen to Grandma read the Easter story from the Bible and to make Resurrection Rolls with them.  It was a memorable time!  Thanks, Mandy!
