Curriculum
Ok all you homeschooling moms, I have a question for you. What curriculum did you use this year? What did you like about it? What did you not like about it? Are you using it again, or changing to something different? Are you even thinking about it yet?

Funny Story
Today we had a few people over to paint a couple rooms. Taraleigh was kind and brave enough (or crazy!) to take my children, her children, and JJ to the park. Here is a picture from today and a story in her own words. Enjoy!
Ok, so there is a story behind this picture. Yes that is Sanford Bay behind them. We cleaned everything up and took a couple of trips to the van to get all the playdough,soccerballs,juice cups, jackets, etc. loaded up. The boys had been talking about "throwing leaves in the water" and I thought okay that will be fun to do on our way out. Have you ever seen one adult cross the street with SIX children??? Hilarious!!! I was holding Annie in one arm, JJ and Joseph's hand in my other hand, Wyatt's hand in my pocket, the girls holding hands holding on to me. (WHILE THEY ARE ALL HOLDING THEIR STICKS AND LEAVES TO THROW IN THE BAY) Thankfully someone felt nice that day and stopped so we could cross. We get across the road after it takes us about 10 minutes to walk and stay together. I look at the drop off and think "WHAT WAS I THINKING" I had visions of the boys pushing each other in or Brianna jumping in. I made everyone stand out 5 feet away from the edge to throw their stuff in and since it was windy NOTHING went in. So I picked it all up and threw it in myself and had them all sit to take their picture..then another 10 minutes to cross the street...then another to get in the van....It was so funny I could not stop laughing at what a dummy I am....we made a memory though ~ well at least I did. :)

Quote of the Week
After many discipline sessions to keep Wyatt in bed, I heard him calling me from his room. I was glad he at least was calling me and not getting out of bed.
"Mommy, I can't go to sleep. My eyes are arguing with me."
Confused I asked. "Buddy, your eyes are arguing with you? What are they arguing about?"
"I want to go to sleep, but my eyes do not want to."

Daily Life Photos
I realized I never post pictures of what my children actually look like on a normal day. I usually post the adorable ones where they look all put together, clean, etc etc.
Here are some random photos from January where things are not exactly like that. PJ bought me a cheap little camera that is easy to yank out and shoot with. His really nice one was a little much to quickly get to and take normal pictures.
