First Day ~ July


Yesterday I shared how we celebrated our 4th of July. But let's rewind a few days to our First Day post for July. The photos were taken but I've been too busy to download them and do this post. So, here is how we spent our 1st day of July.


An early morning bike ride with Brynne

This was our first day doing this route at the park.

It's a great view when riding!

Later Eli did some math work with fractional remainders.

My first pumpkin! It has grown a ton in the few days since then.

This is a great personal Bible study if anyone is interested in one!

We are really working on Brynne's diet. She had turkey and grated carrots on pita with apples and a cheese stick.

Kyndal cut about 3-4 inches off my hair.

I was carrying on a serious conversation in this one.

Doesn't she do a great job?

Had to stop at Lowe's to get more paint for the exterior trim of our house that Rick is painting.

And some bread. I love the deals at the Sara Lee store!

Mommy, let us in! (I need to spray for weeds!)

Finished the night with Dawson's favorite dinner of manicotti and french bread.

We all know that in this crazy world of homeschooling, we need all the (adult) support we can get. Please leave a comment if you so wish!

ABCya

Eli's reading resource teacher shared a website with me yesterday that I would like to pass along. It's called ABCya . There are separate educational sections with fantastic games for ages kindergarten through 5th grade. I browsed the 2nd grade level, and it includes age-appropriate games about Letters, Numbers, Shapes, Geometry, Patterns, Mouse Manipulation, Art and Holiday games. There are lots and lots of fun and creative games for children to play. They are fun, but oh, so educational. Eli's favorite, in his short time playing it, was Create a Car . A lot of the games also have Apps available for purchase (99 cents for most of them) for the iPad and iPhone. I have been looking for another free website for games similar to Starfall , for some time. I think I have found it. I can feel confident having Eli and Brynne play these games.

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

Dawson made edible cells on Friday. He made an animal cell pizza ... and a plant cell chocolate chip cookie ... He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!! I am linking up at Science Sunday at Adventures in Mommydom.

Last Child in the Woods ~ Chapters 1-4

Welcome to our book study of Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv. To be honest, I have no idea what this "study" is going to look like. I imagine that when we get together I will post about all of the things that caught my eye. And I would ask that you leave a comment, or a link to your own blog post in the comment, about what caught yours. This isn't anything formal, ladies, just a place to talk about what we have read. I have now read the first four chapters of Last Child in the Woods two times. It is just so good. Several things have specifically hit me deep, but in general I just realized that "times, they are a changin'." Things aren't the way they were when we were kids. Chapter 1. Gifts of Nature ~ "When I see birches bend to left and right ... I like to think some boy's been swinging them." ~ Robert Frost What is your definition of nature? What feelings, visions, senses does it conjure up? For me, it's not a
