After a wonderful week break at Family Camp two weeks ago, we have been back to our schedule and doing school!

We just finished our eighth week already! Time is moving along!

Our schedule starts with breakfast and then chores.

Chore time is such a sweet time to just sit back and watch! Not that I ever just sit during chores – but I do notice the kiddos as they are working!

Once the littles are done with their chores, they usually help the boys with theirs!

Chad and Lane have embraced our schedule and follow it easily. I usually find Lane in a different place about every 15 minutes!

Tate and Eliza are still enjoying school SO much! They are really learning quickly and surprising me sometimes with what they understand and know! It is super fun being their teacher!

“W” week included a book about a watermelon seed, and then a paper plate craft that looked like a watermelon! I think paper plate crafts are genius! We make them all the time. So easy, fun, and cheap!

“W” week also included a lesson about the wind, and a little wind blowing activity!

“I” week this week had us making igloo’s out of marshmallows!

We also talked about insects, focusing on the ant. The ant is a great character lesson! They work hard and are not lazy!

I was not very diligent in taking pictures these last two weeks!

I made a little book and buddy nook for the littles last week. They lived in that cozy spot!

I usually have someone playing the piano throughout the day. So cute! Eliza and Tate both enjoy music!

And not one photo of Chad doing school! He will find me often throughout the morning to tell me someone really neat that he just read! Such a great student he is!

Our break was fabulous and very needed, but I am glad to be back into our schedule and routines again!

This week? It’s “G” week for the littles, and I am hoping to pick a FIAR book to do! But first, tomorrow is church, a fellowship meal, and then we are heading to the apple orchard to spend the afternoon! I can’t wait!

Have a wonderful Sunday, you all!
