Our homeschooling and home building story.
We've been busy so this is a rather late post. For Cas' kindergarten graduation he wanted to go mini golfing somewhere he had never mini golfed before. And we were having friends visit for a week so he wanted to wait until his friends were visiting so they could come too. We had a great... Continue Reading →
The end of the school year is always a busy time. We've had graduations to attend, school, and Sabbath school parties, a death in the (extended) family, had a bunny spayed and had lots of fun and outside time. Our butterflies hatched and we were able to release all but one of them. One of... Continue Reading →
Frog week! We have tadpoles and we have chrysalis's. Two of the chrysalis's hatched today. Cas knew they were getting close and he spent an hour this morning staring at them. He ate his breakfast, brushed his hair and his teeth and got changed watching the chrysalis...walked away for 5 minutes and...one hatched. He was... Continue Reading →
It's been butterfly week! Unfortunately I've been slacking on taking pictures. We had gorgeous weather last week and got outside by the levee and caught tadpoles and water-bugs and threw rocks in the water and had a good time. Over the weekend, the weather turned cold and wet again and we huddled inside. Our caterpillars... Continue Reading →
So the reason for our quick trip to Florida and Epcot fun was because Ari's PBE team had made it to Division level (the last level). And division testing was held in Florida. Again, for PBE there is a chosen book of the Bible for the year and teams have to study/memorize that book so... Continue Reading →

The kids have been doing more cooking and helping around the house. Ari vacuums her room and the... Continue Reading →
We returned from our spring break to find... it was the week before Easter! And of course our spring break had lasted through Tuesday so we only had half a week to do our Easter activities. We crammed Sense of the Resurrection into two days instead of our normal two weeks. That meant we had... Continue Reading →
Had a bit of a crazy week. Snow and sun and rain. But the flowers are out! We went out on a flower hunt around our property and we went up on Table Mountain and found flowers and newts. As our house projects have been settling down a bit, we've been able to get the... Continue Reading →
This last week was full of adventure. Cas had high fevers, vomiting and diarrhea for 2 days and then developed spontaneous itchy rashes for 2 days after the fevers went down. Threw a complete wrench into things. We also had a leak in the plumbing between our two floors that was tricky to find, tricky... Continue Reading →
This week has continued to be quite crazy. We've been having more random snow and snow days but we also had 3 days of sunshine and...50 degrees feels like 70 right now so we did school outside. We continue to have various contractors working on our house keeping things interesting and...our HVAC finally got finished!... Continue Reading →
