I took these on their last day as 9yr olds!
They are strong, fiesty, and love babies 😉
They both decided to be engineers so they can make lots of money, and nurses.
And I can’t believe they used to be this little…

History events are my favorite.
The Honey Springs Battlefield Reenactment only happens once every two years and the weather was beautiful so there were a lot of people.
I would have loved to go to the educational day but it is a bit far for us to do both that and the battle.
I do love how everyone is so patient though and seem to love history.
This mother getting her child ready was so beautiful.
Off to battle.
It is very loud so if you have one sensitive to loud sounds you might want to bring something for their ears.
They did a great job!
We have been doing God’s Design Plants for Beginners for a couple months now and I have to say it is a near perfect fit for my three youngest.
They are in 3rd(twins) and Kindergarten, the curriculum says it is for K-2nd.
My girls love the fact they get a brand new workbook every 5 lessons.
To them new is always better and whatever is newest is their favorite so the fact they feel like they get a new book constantly keeps them excited.
The lessons are short and to the point which really helps with limited attention spans.
They always have an easy activity that goes with the lesson and it is easy to make it more hands on since it takes so little time.
On this day we were learning about stems and what grows from them.
I added on to the lesson by going outside and having them find stems and point out the things growing from them.
We have also gone out to find the different types of trees the lesson talked about.
We found these berries and I had them split them open to see what was inside.
They were pretty excited to find seeds!
The only downside to this curriculum for us is that I have not figured out how to tie it together with out history study yet.
I like studying history by timeline and we are not in a time period that makes plants an obvious choice.
I would like for the boys and girls to be studying the same thing so we can actually do more together as well but the boys curriculum has them doing weather right now and the beginners series does not have weather.
But other than that this has been perfect to grab and go.
What do you use for science?
