• Jun. 13, 2007 - Update, pictures, and readying my school year

I have decided to start our school year early. We will start with Winter Promise July 2nd and add in the human body lapbook for science for the first 2 weeks and Missionaries the next 2 weeks. Then August 6th (my birthday) we will add in Apologia science, spanish, math, and Honor Your Father and Mother. I thought this would work better than doing no school at all and then throwing a whole new day at the kids. This will give us a month on our full schedule before our co op starts in September.
Now for pictures :)

We pulled a tree down on Saturday. As you can tell we are from the south... we tied the tree to the car and Colin used the chain saw to start the process but it chain saw got stuck (cheap chain saw) so he asked *me* to put the car in reverse and slowly see if the tree would come down. It did.

Lucas "Just call me Pig Pen"

These are lilies from my front yard that we planted last year, some have multiplied and others have not but they are pretty!

This was cute because Lucas just climbed right into the empty hamper to play the piano. A nice lady that Colin works with gave us this cute little piano that Lucas and Gentry will enjoy playing with since the others will be getting a full size keyboard.

Solomon has learned to ride a two wheeled bike. I don't know the exact tale but Colin came inside while I was making dinner and said "Solomon is riding a two wheeler" and then a terrible shriek from Abagail. She had fallen because she leaned sideways on her bike while riding over a speed bump and skinned her knee really well. As soon as Colin cleaned it and put a band-aid on it Abagail said "Can I still ride me bike?"
