Here they are! The homeschool rebuild pics room in progress.

Going back in time--->
Faith sitting at her little table in '05.


The other side of the room was Isaiah's nursery before we got rid of the seldom used guest room.

And until 2 weeks ago, it was also Elijah's nursery!

The computer wall as it has been for 4 years now...
 
TIME TO MAKE SOME CHANGES... LET'S GO!
Compare the walls...is something missing? You figure it out...

Here's a little hint...

The kids are enjoying the process!!!

WOW! A brand new look!
Bye bye borders and white walls!
( I took the picture today- October 3, but forgot to change the month...about a million other things on my mind...)


And that old computer wall?

Being replaced...
It's coming along...

So, on a good day, if I am up to date on my laundry in the afternoon and the kids are napping, this is how it looked so far....until...

Pat hauled up the painting supplies to finish the room, and I brought in the truck mat to give Isaiah something to do..

Here is our little kid table being used as an up and away place to keep the paint supplies from baby hands..

And the little scholars are doing so well in the midst...

Okay, here's a little funny about Isaiah...he watches an extra DVD ( one that she's already seen ) if he wants to, and then says "I'm done." after 5 -10 min., so i excuse him to go play. BUT... he doesn't want to go play...he wants to see what's on the middle TV!! he hasn't quite figured out that I am the controller of the content... not the TV itself!!

SO THERE YOU ARE, SO FAR!
I will be adding more as we add more to the room... so far, we are awaiting a chalkboard and a vintage schoolroom clock! There were a couple of ebay items that we lost bids on, so ...will have to keep searching...

The rest of my life?
This weekend, Pat is camping, so I've got a small list of things to accomplish starting as soon as I am done writing. For the sake of accountiblity, I will list them here and let you know how it went!

1** change the laundry and start Faith's stuff because I want it all done by tomorrow night at the latest!

2**(while laundry is churning away) Use super footstool to forage through top two shelves in pantry to find the lid to the blender because I really, really want to make some orange julius'. I know it is up there somewhere!

3**Get bread mixed.. going to try doubling the yeast because last two times, it did NOT rise enough!
We are new at making bread...and trying to use up this Amish mix stuff which is proving to be a bit stubborn in the rising dept.

4**Make bar cookies for friends from church that recently moved closer to us.. a little snack while unpacking or perhaps a reward for getting it done!

5**Change the rat's cage ( may save that until tomorrow or they mayl escape if I try it tonight!)

6** I promised Faith we could make a pumpkin pie! From a real pumpkin---not a can! This could be something I never want to try again....

7**Peel off the tiny left-behind bits of wallpaper backing off the wall in the schoolroom.



That's all I am going to try to do.. and in the midst of it all, keep a quiet and gentle heart with the littles! Why overdo it?...um, did I mention that I need to get the bathrooms done as well as start on Faith's chore packs?
