Homeschool diaries, week 2



Head injury/unique hair cut

Cuddle up and Reading

Scavenger hunt

KWTX field trip

Sorry to be late in updating this past week. It was a pretty busy weekend and the week has started off that way too. Last week went even better than week 1. Just trying to get used to a huge change in the way we have always done things. Each day brings new blessings and challenges. We spent Thursday in Waco touring the Waco TV station KWTX. The kids enjoyed it. I have to admit I did too. We ran some errands and then checked out one of the libraries in Waco. The kids were in awe. They found out they could check out 65 library books each! So needless to say we will now be visiting that Waco library every 3rd Thursday and taking advantage of some of their research resources. They were sad we couldn't stay longer!

Few tidbits from last week...

* Jaedyn worked on her volcano project with Russell. He enjoyed it and I know he did having that time with him as well as doing a project. He loves them! 

* Peyton likes Pinterest now. Finding all kinds of things to make and do! 

* They both completed a neighborhood scavenger hunt. That was right up his alley. 

*  We have been spending our recess a few times each week with Gage! That is the highlight of their day. 

* Jaedyn and Peyton went to the Whitney football game on Friday. Enjoyed seeing others and some friends. I heard Peyton's response to the question "how is homeschooling going?" Was "it is shorter!" Which is so typical of most boys! Of course Jaedyn's response was much longer! 

*We spent Wednesday studying about September 11. We watched a Christian documentary, read books, talked, and reflected on the impact of that day. We also discussed heroes and those we should show appreciation to often.

* And last but not least, another injury. Peyton was hit at church on accident with a hockey stick. Cut his head open a little so Russell had to shave it and apply some butterfly stitches. Then he had to shave all his hair off to make it not look so "crazy". However, as soon as Russell finished shaving it, Peyton came and sat on my lap and said (while rubbing his head), "my head feels gooder". Clearly we have some grammar to work on! 

Have a blessed week!
