Homeschool Mother's Journal- April 26

I've been pretty much MIA these past two weeks with Easter and us in the final sprint of our homeschool year, but I promised myself that I would try to blog at least once or twice a week even amid the craziness.   :-)

So, here are the last two weeks in brief, photographic form:

Here are a few photos from Easter when we got home from church.

Kiddo #1 baked a cake for Easter that we enjoyed

and the kiddos dyed Easter eggs. (my mom found plastic dyeable eggs.  How cool is that?  I always felt badly about wasting real eggs since we couldn't possibly eat them all.)  We included my aunt and uncle in the merriment.

We went to the movies on Easter Monday (we saw "Bears"-- a great movie.  We are also enjoying the educational materials provided online.  There are some great lessons that reinforce what we learned in the film, as well as teaching us some new details and information)

My mom's birthday was last Wednesday.  Kiddo #1 baked her a cake and Kiddo #4 made the homemade frosting.  They made a great team.  :-)

On Sunday, we had a family dinner for mom's birthday.  She got to celebrate twice.  :-)

We have had many visitors now that the nicer weather is upon us

Kiddo #2 passed his belt test in Taekwando last night.  The final part was the breaking of a board with his foot. Ouch!  lol.  He did it just fine.

The .22 Rifle program ended last week.  The boys really enjoyed it.  They are looking forward to starting the next program of air rifle/pistol and possibly archery in the next couple of weeks.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

God bless!  :-)
