Family Schooling Summary

Big sister A has the photography bug and has been practicing her skills taking pictures of everyone.  Here are a couple shots of baby L she took this week. 

 It's been another quiet week at home. We did the usual routine reading and math work, plus some art projects and cooking. Dance class and a hike at the nature center were cancelled due to the snow.

 Brother M decided to give himself a haircut.  It was pretty bad in the back.  We buzzed it all off, but he still has a very obvious bald spot.

This is what the kiddos do while I am having a little sewing time:

 The brothers are playing the ice breaker game:

Church has been cancelled for the last 2 weekends due to snow. The kiddos have been enjoying having snow days at a time when daddy is at home to play in it with them.  They ride the sled around the yard and yesterday they built a "snow fort".  Next time I am going to have to get out there and show them how we made them growing up (igloo style). Little brother S finally went out with the big kids this time. He has a stubborn streak and just would NOT put on his snow pants and I said he was not allowed to go out until he put them on.  He missed the last two times playing in the snow because of his refusal to get dressed for it.  And finally this time he decided he would.  He had a great time out there.
