The time period is colonial/Revolutionary War, which is what we are studying right now in history so the timing was great. It was Adrianna’s idea to wear the dress and bonnet. That poor dress is getting so old and worn that it is falling apart so I had to do a bunch of repairs the […]

Disney on Ice
Our homeschool options school got discounted tickets to Disney on Ice – 100 Years of Magic Show at the Denver Coliseum. Aunt Karen came along with us and it was a lot of fun!
Preschool Play
We are working on counting, number recognition, and sorting. But she thinks it is all fun play.

Homeschool and Library
If you check out SO many books and videos at the library that you need TWO cards to do so (due to the maximum limit), you might be a homeschooler. 🙂 Love our local library! Side note: If you are looking for the kids’ videos and historical fiction books for the Revolutionary War period, they are all […]

Guess it was just a natural progression from there.

Home economics AND science experiment all wrapped in one! She then continued on to cheerios, leaves, pipe cleaners and lots of other things we have in […]

Hooray for a fun field trip for school today! *A spacecraft built in Colorado is scheduled to launch today headed to Mars. MAVEN will try to figure out what happened to the water that scientists think once existed on the red […]
