We started school

I got creative for the first days chalk board. So every picture they had to guess the meaning. So book meant reading, the hand washing, health and so on. Neat idea, hey!

Carter is  a tricky one to get motivated for school, it can take him awhile..... ugh!

But then when they get motivated they do great things!

Conner doing his math on the computer. 

1st day school pics. I will get better ones eventually.

Carter wanted a pic with the cat in the tree, haha.

This year was so much easier to Homeschool, because I made the choice this past summer, not two weeks before school. It is so much better when you know what you want so you can organize. We are using Sonlight and so far we enjoy it. Anyways, happy schooling!

Volunteering at Natures Edge.

We love NE and so we wanted to continue going there by volunteering. We love all the animals and know most of their names. The boys and I are having lots of fun helping there. Our chores include, walking the animals, picking up poop and just loving them. 

Fun in the city!

We had a great time a couple of weeks ago in St. Paul. Aunt T. had told us about a church that my great grandpa helped build. So anyway I think she meant, The Cathedral pictured here. Absolutely beautiful inside and out. 

                                   The boys in front of The Cathedral.

We finally made it to the science museum in St. Paul. There was so much to see, I felt overwhelmed with all there was to see and learn, but the boys seemed to love it.

           My favorite part, the Mummies, so cool. I could stare at them all day. It was amazing to me that I was looking at something so old and to see the cloth and other things they used back then amazed me.

Our favorite part of the whole day.....COMO ZOO, geez and that was free. Anyways, it was so fun to see all the animals again (actually first time for Conner, he doesn't remember last time, he was too little).

I LOVE the gorillas, they are so neat to watch.

We watched one of Sadies puppies the other day. Can you say TWINS!!

We just started school today,  I will update about that soon. :)
