Homeschooling is just sunshine and cookies...

Yeah right! he he eh.

We sure have our ups and downs. But that's just how life is. We are moving along nice and getting things accomplished.

I've decided that my favorite thing about homeschooling is being able to work with my kids, and when I see weakness help strengthen them.

Lately we've been trying to bake more. Because One, the kids really really enjoy it. But two, it teaches them important skills. Baking can incorporate so many different skills. There is reading, measuring, turn taking, direction following, and even some fine motor skills learned (frosting). So today we made some YUMMY YUMMY sugar cookies and they were fast to make. I got the recipe at this link http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/easy-sugar-cookies/detail.aspx

Here is our evidence of yummy-ness. And us using our mad frosting skills!

Make it, Bake it Monday!

I decided each Monday we would Make and bake something fun! This week we made spring cake (just cake but it had spring sprinkles). The girls got to help put in all the ingredients and then they got to frost their own piece afterwords.





Abigail was awake for it this time.. So she just kind of did her thing.... She has been learning too. Her newest trick is climbing on chairs. She loves it.


For math today we went fishing. We had numbers on the back of the fish and the girls had to tell me what number it was.. Next time we'll also add in putting them in order once they catch them. (no those aren't bags of trash you see, we were given a bunch of clothing that don't quite fit the girls yet, so we have no idea where to put the bags, they have just kind of stayed there while we find a place)
