The Leprechaun paid us a visit

Lucky the Leprechaun stopped by....since we didn't try to trap him this year he left shirts, hats for the buddies and a box of Lucky Charms! The Pot of gold is a craft we did With Aunt AW. Pipe cleaners, a flower pot and rocks painted gold. Quite easy and quite fun as well!

Thousand Steps Beach

We've set a goal with the S Family to visit a new place every month. This month it was the "thousand steps beach" - I didn't count them while walking either down nor back up - but there were a lot. The day spent together was worth the walk.

Science Fair

In partnership with the school I work at the girls participated in the science fair. Both of them placed!

It's been a great year

Partnering with Local School

How I homeschool is about to change!

The school I work for has agreed to launch an experimental program to test to possibility of partnering with other homeschoolers in our community to offer classes. I am so excited for this program.

For now my #1 and #2 will be taking SCIENCE  as a core class from the school I work in.

Today was our first day of school.

Happy Mother's Day
