Bulletin Board & Seedlings

Photography by Jackson

Good day today for most. PS is on spring break so Jeanna is home this week and schooling as we don't have our spring break until later in the month. We also had an extra PS kid as I am sitting for a friend's kid because of spring break. I was gonna let him have a free day and just play while we worked, but I noticed right away that he came dressed in our school uniform and his dad said that he would be attending school today and that he would be working on mixed subtraction and addition problems as well as analog time telling. Ha Ha. Dad had spoken! I pulled out an extra desk and chair. LOL! He did very well today with out much redirection at all and I gave dad a good report for today. I was only going to be keeping him for 2 days this week, but his mom called this evening and asked if he could come the other days as well. He is a funny and smart little boy that has a hard time at school.... he just needs his expectations laid out for him and then he does very well.

I started some of my seedlings today. I started some peppers (the carnival mix) and my Roma tomatoes. The peppers were so good last time. They were sweet and pretty. I have not been out to get the garden boxes outside cleaned yet. My backyard holds lots of water and it is so muddy back there I have been avoiding it, except we had a nice fire in the fire pit last week. It was so wet I was not worried about flying embers.

Bulletin Board

Mom Cake & January Board

Started back to school today and it was a good day with no tears. 8th grade's computer is still in the shop so she worked on some essays. I must admit that writing is not one of our strong areas here so I try to sneak in as many practice opportunities as possible.

Jordan loves to bake and surprised me with a chocolate cake the other day using some of the cake decorations that she got for Christmas. She wanted me to show it to you all.

I did January's bulletin board in kinda of a boring way, but it got done.

The preschooler starts back up with speech this week. It is somewhat of a joke as he sits in his class and kinda mumbles and parrots the teacher some and then as soon as we start walking back to the car, he starts talking up a storm, freely and about everything, including bossing people around and telling us what he wants and won't do! Little stinker. LOL!

Busy Bulletin Board

At one point I was trying to post our monthly bulletin board, but just got away from it. I usually do them in the evenings after the kids go to bed so that they wake up to a surprise. Jordan loved this month's board and took pictures immediately. It is a bit busy, but fun. The trim comes from ABCteach.com and the rest is just random clip art.
