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 !!

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 !!
