the last few wks ive had friends join me at the cabin with their kids. and its so great and i love it...but the lask wk i decided not to go the cabin, but stay home. so i had a friend join me on my wkly walk....and i snapped these pics...

there is nothing better than walking in the woods

fri we did a hard core school day at the house

with this cutie, wearing the most adorable overalls!

then joey wanted to do my hair!

school!

im trying to figure out how this school yr is  gonna go....i have no clue!  i did decide to NOT go the the cabin, but instead spend time at the house....after a few days i was able to put this semi plan together....i do 1 on 1 with ellie, then switch to joey....then do both....it takes about 3 hrs

while this guy works away

all 3 in the school room!

for the girls, i threw away my lesson plans last yr and instead i write down what we actually do.  this is fo freeing for me. no pressure.  no schedule, no clock.  i have an idea of what i want to do...but only schedule what we do.  not looking at the cloc for how "long" it takes...for me this is wonderful-free

ellie is working on beta

and grammar

and spelling

and more grammar with joey

and i started these books with the girls

joey is working on alpha

and reading!  she doing so well wirh this!

together is finishing up land animals and grammar

and our read out loud is this!

 nate's school is in the works..i get on that next week!
