Another Puzzle

Meanwhile...mom and dad are keeping up their wild nights of puzzling. Our latest accomplishment:

This one was a bit harder because there were only 2 different shapes for the pieces. That made it tough because the pieces fit in the wrong spots. lol

Mother's Day

Sometimes, my mind is blown that these beings came from me. I thank my lucky stars regularly that I have them in my life.

And then someone farts or hits his brother and it’s like...oh yeah. Kids are good at keeping things real. Lol. It isn’t always rainbows and sunshine around here, but it is pretty amazing nonetheless.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Garden Update

Our little garden keeps chugging along. We are still having fun going out and watering each day. Can't wait until we get to harvest something!

A cucumber seed sprouted!

Friday Five

6 weeks of school left! Woohoo!

~~~

The boys found the rubic's cubes and have been playing with them this week. They are still learning how to solve them, but I think they're having fun while they learn.

Jack is reading the story By the Great Horn Spoon in class. He says it's good because they're sailing on a boat and they dig for gold. lol. It goes with their social studies unit on the California Gold Rush. 

Shawn's class is still finishing their reading of The Outsiders. They just had to write an essay comparing and contrasting the novel to the movie. (He liked the movie best.)

Jason's class is reading The Giver. He says the book is "okay" because he can't seem to get in to it, he says.

~~~

Jason is learning about probability in his math class this week. He got to do the coin flip experiment - where he flips two coins to see what his results were at the end.

Shawn is learning about ratios and proportions (graphing and whether linear lines are proportional or not).

Jack is finishing up his unit on long division. He'll be heading into fractions next.

Lastly, Gracie continues to be less than thrilled that I have returned to work M-Th. She is all over me from the moment I get home. I wondered if she would have a hard time with me going back after having me here at all times for 13 months. Poor girl. 

Throwback Thursday

This day in 2016...

My arm isn't hardly long enough to fit us all in the same frame now.

Mostly Wordless Wednesday

When he laughs, he lights the world. There is no way you won't catch his happiness.

Explosion!

We went from zero caterpillars to all kinds of them! I don't know where these have been hiding, but they're about ready to go off to build their chrysalises soon.
