30 Day Project ~Life Day 10

My husband needed the computer this weekend to work on our backup computer that he is rebuilding.

I would probably not even have one backup if it was not for him.

As it is I think we have three? See I do not even know how many backups we have…

I totally lost my train of thought!

SO…that meant I did not get any of my daily pictures up!

HA!

I set this one up a little bit.

I will admit it, I am running out of ideas of ways to catch the boys and I together doing something we do everyday.

So I had them play on the swing and I sat and watched.

That is pretty typical really though.

It is near the road so I always have to be nearby when they play on it.

I did ask that they jump in a picture with me real quick.

This is right after I threw the ball for our dog Maddie.

They “had” to play in the water before they went inside for the night.

They are boys after all.

My sock choice made me smile.

1st day back!

My 30 day pic.

Day 6

Teaching my son to read.

Today was our first day back after Christmas break!

The first part of the school day was as follows:

50 States songs on youtube, here and here

The Pledge of Allegiance (I have been trying to do this every school day)

Reading

Writing (we use Writing without Tears)

Grammar (First Language Lessons for the well-trained mind)

Then we take a short break that includes a snack.

2nd half of our school day:

Math (RightStart)

History (we read about Daniel Boone)

Science

We are studying Electricity for science this month.

My MIL got the boys Magic School Bus science kits for Christmas!

I thankfully remembered one of them was on the subject we were doing!

We were just going to check it out today but since the first one was easy we went ahead and did it.

I unfortunately cut the boys hair just last night so it was a little short to be impressive.

Like a good teacher I offered up my own hair in the name of science.

These kits are quickly becoming favorites!

I am thinking I might just have to go ahead and get one for every science subject we cover.
