Life!

Saturday we all worked together in the front yard. Lots of bush and tree trimming and cleaning up happened. Tristin agreed to haul the loads of brush and yard trimmings to the back so we could burn it later. After transporting a load or two with their wagon, he had the brilliant idea of tying the wagon to the go-cart.  2 days of hard work later and he knocked it out!

Enjoying an ice cream party (with our neighbors grandson) for all of their hard work in the yard! 

Bible review! Easton wanted to answer all the questions since that meant he'd get jelly beans too. His answer to each question was "a train runs across this track!" 

I super love our Bible curriculum, I read the passages for the day and then draw a stick figure illustration on the board. It's a really neat and easy way to learn the Bible. The girls always seem to add to the stick figure illustration that they copy down until they have a pretty picture. :) 

Coloring while I read for morning school

Bella was so interested by the Amazing Facts book that the couldn't put it down, even thought I was reading too. Lol! 

Poetry tea time - hot tea and toast with Nutella while listening to poetry

Playing with friends during piano lessons

Since piano is from 12:30-2:30 and we are gone from 12:00-3:00 each Monday, we pack a lunch and eat in the car. Apparently, Easton liked decorating his face with his after lunch cookie more than he liked eating it. 

Out on our weekly date along with Easton and Hensley

Tristin, Bella and Hudson had orthodontist appointments. The girls aren't quite ready yet and need to return in a few months but Tristin FIANLLY is, he is getting an appliance to help bring his upper teeth back some. After a month or two with the appliance, he will get braces on his top teeth. 

Easton and Hensley snuggling together while I read Easton his bedtime stories.

Every morning during breakfast the kids and I watch Innovation Nation, a show filmed at The Henry Ford and Greenfield Village. It contains so many great new innovations based on things that inventors made that are featured at the museum and village. One of the shows showed humanoid robots and the kids were thrilled. I showed them a preview for the robot documentary showing at the IMAX in the museum. They couldn't wait to go, so on Thursday, we all went! 

After the movie, we walked around the museum for a while! Greysen couldn't wait to see these guys, the statues on the bleachers! 

Greenfield Village opening day! It was 84 degrees and a Saturday so it was packed! We didn't ride any rides. Just walked around and enjoyed being back in one of our favorite places! 

Tristin was challenging everyone to a race, so, his Daddy took him on!
