Why I Love Homeschool

This is how Porter did his math today, it must have worked because he got 100%.

I'm such a sucker

Last week my neighbor got two kittens, then my sister got two kittens, so of course we HAD to get two kittens. Ethan named his Cheepy and Porter named his Snowflake. The boys have been pretty responsible in taking care of them and making sure they have enough food and water. The kittens have so far survived jumping off our deck and the dog carrying it around, but can they survive the kids...??

Strawberry Days!

Oh how I LOVE Strawberry Days! We had such a blast this year. We had hoped to start with the carnival on Wednesday but we didn't realize that it didn't start until 6pm that night, the kids were bummed but they got over it. That night we headed to the rodeo. Bella did the Mutton Bustin this year. She was all excited until she found out the sheep run. She was thrown on a sheep and was shoved out the gate and immediately ate dirt. She was very mad about it for a few days but now she loves to tell everyone she rode a sheep. Some of her cousins rode too.
Here is Hadlee and Bella.

All the cousins that rode.

I just love the look of pure terror on her face in this one.

Then on Friday we went to Huck Finn Days. We had one sister for each line so the kids could hop from line to line.
There was a fish pond.

Face painting.

Horse rides.

Then Saturday morning was the Grand Parade. It rained but we were prepared, so it wasn't too bad.

Fun Pic

I finally just organized all my old photos and ran across one of my favorites of Porter. This is at our old house when he was 3.
