pt 2

 for ellies school i do work sheets, reading and math with her daily.  we end up doing math on the floor most days bec joey is on my other side and its easier for me

 LOVE home school! 
we finished ellie's k school lessons that i bought, so now im just kinda winging the rest of the yr with her. i want to work on her penmanship and spelling more but shes at a gr 1 level, so im not concerned

 reading is ALWAYS done in my bed, the same way i taught nate to read.  i love it.  ellies on the last reader for all about reading level 1

 i read this reader to both girls, joey cuddles on ,y right while i do reading with ellie. joey has learned to be quiet and still if she wants to be there for reading. i dont mind having her there!  most days the girls join me for nates science reading as well

 reading snuggles

 JOEY!

 after reading today, joey wanted to print. i snapped the pic then told her to go to her desk and not write in my bed anymore. ha

 after ellies school is done we always take a lunch break together.  then i put a show on for the girls and nate and i bust out the books...i forgot to take pics with nate today :( other than these....im using the projector daily now with the geography lessons. i LOVE it.  ellie usually comes in to listen

 see...

 nates been using my computer a lot this month. im gonna shut that down because he is so MESSY! and leaves a mess for me to clean up. ha

i enjoy my time with nate, we catch up, do school and talk. its weird how big hes getting.  he usually takes off when his friends get home from school and i dont see him until close to bed time. i cant imagine having him in school. when would i see him????

 joey was brushing her puppy's hair and singing "oh where is my hair brush"

 then nate asked her to do his reading for some coins. she said yes and took his money and sat down to read his work for him. i told him no go! haha

and with that, its been another week!  i hope we all wake up feeling better tomorrow!
