Snow fun!

First post in a long time! Do I have any original fans/visitors left? Lol. Just a quick update on the boys and their schooling. We are still doing school at home and we are using the curriculum My Father's World. Jimmy is now in 1st grade and Matthew is doing k4 work. 

We have been studying ice and snow for science and since it snowed yesterday and the wind chill has been in the negatives, we stayed inside and made snow ice cream! We used this simple recipe. We also made paper snowflakes and read some books about snow. The boys had a blast!

Well, that's all for now, more to follow soon! =)

Time Flies

When I started this blog I wasn't really sure what I wanted to write about. It started as a place to share recipes and tips, photos of our farm and critters, and then it turned into a diary of what I was teaching my oldest son as a tot. 

After our dog Duke passed away and then when I had my youngest son, things changed and I think I sort of fell into post-partum depression but I was never diagnosed. I just wrote it off as a symptom of hypothyroidism which I have been dealing with since after Jimmy was born. So I felt down in the dumps a lot and I stopped blogging except for a couple posts here and there. 

Well, now my oldest, Jimmy, is 5 and just started kindergarten yesterday! And not surprisingly, we have decided to homeschool. I was homeschooled for a couple years and loved it, my step mom homeschooled all 4 of her kids and it just seems natural to me. So far it has been great. We have really been homeschooling ever since we started with Tot School a few years ago. So Matthew, our youngest who is 3, will be doing tot school type activities while Jimmy does his work. 

I just cannot believe how quickly time flies! I have a KINDERGARTENER! Sheesh :-)

 

My sweet boys, they sure are blessings. I thank The Lord for them every day and pray I can teach them in His ways. 

I wonder if I still have any readers out there lol! But really, I want to keep updating so I have a journal of my boys lives. I missed documenting Matthew's first 3 years so I want to try to stay with it now. So hope to be back soon!
