It is amazing how much fun a box can be to kids. We recently installed cabinets in our home office and let the kids have at it with the two boxes. A week of fun followed. It would have lasted even longer but the sprinklers got the boxes and made the too soggy, they never recovered.
The said cabinets from Home Depot. I'll post photos of our office another time. 
Fun game! 
Here are the rules and an example. I wouldn’t call the online game a real game because they do everything for you. It is a example of how to play though. Indie liked it and it reinforces his clock/time skills.
Beluga putting together this craft.
I never thought Beluga would stick with this project very long but she sat there and finished the whole thing!
While she was doing this, the boys were playing chess. It was a nice after dinner project.
I can’t believe that my baby is now 7 years old. It seems like only yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital.
This week for science we did a lab learning about living and non-living things. We placed a string in the yard. Yes, it should have been an area that is a little more “wild” but we just winged it and found lots of living things and some not so living. There was even a tiny spider’s web that was perfectly shaped. They had a good time.
Inspecting the area for anything alive.
Logging what they found and making a sketch on one living and one non-living thing found in the area.
After we did our lab, we moved the the back yard to check out our garden. Things look much different though a microscope!
Time to get back to lessons tomorrow. My husband has today (Monday) off so I’m using it as my planning day. It might be a slow start getting back into the groove. We have had 14 days away from a steady schedule….

These cookies are super yummy. I’m taking them tomorrow night to a homeschool Christmas tea/cookie and ornament exchange. Here is the recipe! They are easy! I melted chocolate and dipped the bottom for a little extra yum!
Our first stop this morning was our local zoo. This is how she wanted to spend the morning. We have an annual pass and love to do this.
One of our favorite places to pose for photos at the zoo. Guess I should have pulled her hair back for her.
This is probably the real reason she wanted to go to the zoo. With all of the public school kids in school, we had the place to ourselves!
After the zoo, we made it home. We had friends over to swim and have pizza and cake. It was a very nice day!
I love seeing J’s personality coming though…
B starting 1st grade. He looks so big with missing top teeth!
J's first day of Kindergarten. I can't believe it!
We spent the afternoon at grandma's hunting for easter eggs, and swimming.
:)
The weather was perfect
prune hands
Maybe they swam too much.
