Ping notebook pages

We used Hands of a child project pack as a go along with our Five in a row.

School Update

A and E have been working on Ping. I will be posting pictures soon. S,M, and C have been working on a unit on Explorers. We are getting ready for a Houston trip soon. Hopefully I will be posting updates sooner and lots of pictures.

There has been a craze over the workbox system over at the FIAR message boards and I am still thinking that over. It is very appealing in a lot of ways. I think the two major factors holding me back is where do I put all those boxes and committing to filling them nightly. I have seen lots of alternates to the boxes that take up less space but still just not sure.

I would love to see more pictures and alternatives to the boxes !!

Our Backyard Woodpecker

Pictures I took of the Woodpecker in our backyard this past month.

Update :)

Well girl scout cookies is pretty much over. The girls hit their goal of 550 each. YES !! We sold 1100 boxes of cookies !! We were getting worried towards the end about whether we would make it or not.

My birthday was in the beginning of February. This was my present :)








Isn't he just the cutest ?? The kids and I just love him !! We named him Scout. He is still getting the hang of potty training but has mastered sit so far. He is doing really well though. We are very happy to have him as the newest member of our family.

Our current Five In A Row title is The Story of Ping. I hope to post our notebook pages soon. Our next book will be Madeline.

Currently we are gearing up for E's 4th Birthday ,a trip to Houston at the end of the month, and of course baseball season.

We have two playing baseball this year (S & C ) and A may play Soccer ( Upwards ) which is coming up.

Well thats all folks !!

Next Weekend.....

is the last weekend for Girl Scout cookies !! I am so ready to be done !! We have two last Table Tops this coming up weekend. We are selling at Block Buster and Kroger. We have 130 more boxes of cookies to sell to our girls goals. They each were trying for 550. They have reservations for a NASA sleepover with the Girl Scouts. They are so excited !! We will also be going down at the same time. The boys and E are really excited as well. We will be going to the NASA, Downtown Aquarium, Houston Zoo, and a couple other places.

I am hoping to do a lot more blogging as soon as these cookies sales are done. :)

Girl Scout Cookies

Cookies ,cookies, and more cookies !! We have two girls selling cookies this year. We have table tops galore set up. They are mostly at Krogers and Blockbuster. This is A's first year selling and I must say she is quite the seller. She is so not shy about asking people if they would like to buy some cookies. Her big sister took a bit to get past that initial shyness. Over all so far they are doing pretty good. They are trying to sell at least 500 boxes each. M sold a little over that last year so we are basically having to double what we sold last year.
WISH US LUCK !!!
