Week 33

Read aloud is pretty exciting around here, as you can see from these 2 pics.  At least 2 boys fall asleep most days.  It's actually a pretty exciting book but they're tired!

On Tuesday, we traveled to Des Moines to visit Salisbury House and the State Historic Museum.

We saw a glimpse of the Capitol:

In science this week, we built a telescope.

We had a short week because Brian took Friday off so we could celebrate his birthday with just the 6 of us.  His actual birthday was Sunday and we had a party for him and our niece.  

Week 32

I feel like we are finishing up some things for the school year.  Nathan had his 1st assessment in his math book to finish up his level.  We also finished our science book but we still have our experiment book to get through.

 Samuel and I played addition bingo and neither of us won!  ha!

Hunter and I worked on our schwa rules for his reading/spelling rules.  It's getting complex but he's getting it!

Playing school-approved apps with the cat:

It's been a stressful week and I needed a kitchen break one night.  We went out to Carlos O'Kelly's but half the kids didn't like their meals so we probably won't take them there again.

Week 31

I am getting horrible at taking pictures but we are getting lots of school done!!

I don't know how I missed Hunter in my pics but we did a science experiment with static electricity.  Everyone had fun!

Here's Hunter in his room...with the cat.  :)  He's hiding from the camera.  Ha!

Samuel's natural state--he's a gamer.  :)

Some cousin time this week!

Happy Easter! + Week 30

 

 Easter was a fun time and we had a long weekend to enjoy it. 

 I just snapped this picture because I was thought it was a funny--all the boys gathered!

 Legos are overtaking the kitchen table right now.  They spent their money on more Legos so we have all sorts of things set up that no one can move!!

The twins had class at the homeschool building and neither were thrilled.  Ha!  They'll stick with the art class and I'm sure once they start painting, everyone will enjoy it.

My new favorite picture.  :)

Nathan wanted to run while reading on this day

Not many school pics but we did have 4 days, albeit interrupted by dental appointments and gymnastics, etc.  No science experiments this week so we'll have a few next week.
