AT THE BIRD FEEDERS

We have been feeding the birds for about three years and I wanted to share a few pictures with all of you. We have been enjoying learning about the birds that come to feed at our feeders. Hey thats homeschooling...hehe. Every year we seem to notice a new bird coming to eat and then we have another bird to learn about. House Sparrow
Junco

Black-Capped Chickadee

Downy Woodpecker

Silence

I wanted to try a few audio books for the girls. What a hit! They were quiet all day long and mom was very happy.... .lol....When the mommy needs some peace and quiet just put in a book on tape or CD. It was really cute seeing my four year old shuffle through the pages and let out a few squeals of joy at the silly parts in the story. I will be trying this again.....he he. Now I am off to get a few things done.

How cute!

This story was about two hours long, she couldn't wait to get the second CD in.

Birthday breakfast in bed.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

I had her fill out this menu and hang it on the door for the morning. She thought it was really neat, and having hot cocoa for breakfast was really special too.

Wow are they all just growing up so fast.

Vitamin D

Today seemed to start out great with schooling but after seeing the sun so bright out we just had to go out in it. We needed a good dose of Vitamin D from the sun. The days have been very cloudy and foggy for the past week here and I just needed to get out for some fresh air. I forgot the camera but we went sledding and just had fun playing in the snow. Oh yea I also broke the zipper on my youngest's new winter coat, and of course I can't find the receipt. ugh!!
So today we didn't get much work done but I think we all feel a little healthier. he he
I hope you all had a fun day!

Tea On Tuesday

We are having our Tea on Tuesday again.....yea its been awhile. The book that I read was one of our history study book reads. We are learning about nomads and early civilization. I skipped through the book as we read, shhh don't tell the girls, it was very long but we all got the point of the story. After I was done we did a quick narration about the story, more schooling he he, and they did very well. We are doing Story of the World (volume 1 Ancient Times) for history along with the activity book that goes with it.

Please join us for tea.....everyone is welcome.

Getting back in the swing of things.

We are back at the books today and we were all excited to get back to our daily learning. I have changed a few subjects and tweaked our plans a little bit. I have been busy over the vacation looking into different ideas on homeschooling and I plan to try a few ways to see what works better for us. Here are a few pictures of the day today as we started out our new year.
