I love that these kids are my friends. I hope it stays this way for a long time. 

These will never get old!! 

Telling Time

Sometimes my homeschool ideas actually work out in my favor, not a fight. We've been working on telling time. Joel has done really well and I decided to switch it up a little. 

We made a body clock. 

What we did was we picked a time, he used his feet as the minute hand and his head as the hours, 

He had to how me on an analog clock, 

Then we figured out how it would be written digitally. 

We probably played this game for close to an hour. We both had so much fun. We'll for sure use it again. 

While we had it, why not use it for some number recognition with Evie? :) 

Preschool is hard work 😉

Tooth Fairy

Well, it's happened. I am the mother of a tried and true big kid! A week before his sixth birthday, Joel lost his first tooth. It was harder on me, than on him, that is for sure! I can't really wrap my head around my kids growing older. This, I feel, grows Joel up a WHOLE lot. I see him walking around with a toothless grin and a lisp, and I get reminded he's not a baby anymore! He's my little big guy! 

He was extremely brave for the extraction. We only tugged twice. Joel was a little worried about how much blood there was, but hardly a wince came from him! 

The tooth fairy ( aka Jared) went above and beyond to make a rhino/elephant dollar. Joel was very excited. 

Joel was a tiny bit worried the big kids at school might make fun of him, but luckily they thought he was awesome! 

Not sure what this is, but I love this! 

Evelean loves to DRAW!

She is going through a drawing phase. She's past her scribbling, and onto drawing real life things! This one is of our dog.
