I wanted to start school a little earlier than normal for here. We needed some structure and some staying home and I wanted to get a head start so we can slack a bit at the end of the year. We are doing a curriculum with a calendar and so I want some leeway since this is new to us. We came up with a schedule sorts. Nothing is set in stone because that is too much pressure. But we have been pretty good at being around these times.
All our school stuff laid out the night before.
Our traditional pancakes for the first day of school. We have done them ever since Mac first started preschool. They are in the shape of their initial and the grade they are in.
Oak wanted to write her own sign completely. I thought it was cute.
And of course a picture with their teacher.
The flies have been terrible. This one was huge!
We were leaving the house to go to swim lessons and Oak went to get in the car and started screaming. We don't know what happened to this poor jack rabbit but it was dead as a door nail.
One of the only days school went well. The kids are struggling a bit with the new schedule for the curriculum. Mac doesn't like to be forced at learning and Oak can participate but is bringing way too much chaos and not helping.
Daddy was gone for the evening and after swim lessons we decided to pick up dinner and head to the park since it was so nice out.
Mac getting his reading done while Oak had her horse back riding lessons. She hasn't wanted to get back on the horse since she fell off. So her teacher was teaching her to lead and groom.
We haven't had any frogs here because it's so dry but found one in dad's bucket he is growing a tomato plant in. The kids were so excited.
Oak loved the frog and was sad all day after she had to let it go.
Mister had his work family bbq. It was at the other partners lake cabin. It was so much fun and beautiful and the kids had a blast.
Fishing with a net.
This is their dock. One of Mister's employees brought these cool tubes for the kids to play in. They were a hit. Only one of his employees has little kids and they have three girls who also homeschool and are about our kids' ages. They had so much fun together.
Mac decided to try out the kayak and he ended up figuring it out and loved it so much.
They were all lined up trying to catch fish with a net. They played hard for six hours.
Sunday 35
Oak got sick the night before from eating too much junk and just eating too much and she threw up so daddy stayed home from church with her just to be on the safe side. But she felt much better after she threw it all up.
