School Outside and LOTS of other stuff!

It has been a while, but boy have we been busy! Let me start off with our Friday. :)

Remy started the morning with his own unique playtime and called to me to see what he had been doing. :) He says look mommy smallest to biggest!

He played with Dakota...

He then played with Reese...

He did his schoolwork and made this indian hat.

Eli requested to do one of his last assignments outside and said it was the best way to do school. :)

He decided it was too hot for long sleeves and changed...

Then Eli read his animal reader to his brother...

After all the schoolwork they played outside some more and this is what I see, Remy being Eli's doggie. Hee hee...

For dinner that night I made "Mushroom Bolognese". There is just something that I love about cooking. I love shopping for the best ingredients, searching for recipes, cutting it all up and smelling and tasting as it all comes together. It makes me happy! It makes me feel wholer as a woman. It is simple and earthy...it nourishes my family. It is something real and sweet in a world that is growing up too fast and full of wants.

On saturday Remy had his surprise party at the skating rink. I will share pictures from that...they are on Mattmos camera. My neice Kayley came to visit! Isn't she a doll baby?

That night we had a hot dog party and Taylor was there, Eli's bestest pal ever.

Today the kids did school outside...that Friday Eli feel in love with school out of doors. He told me today that the sun on his face, the birds tweeting, and the breeze made him feel good. Wow! I teared up as I watched him picking a spot here and there to work on. He moved around alot! My child is leading such a blessed school career. I am so thankful to give him this time in his sweet life.

Brina is here for another week visit! Mikey walked around with the boys and sat with them while they did school work. It was very fun!

Eli and Remy made sugar cube pyramids, I will post pictures tomorrow.

I also ORDERED Eli's new curriculum. He only has 12 more days of lessons left! We will be moving on!!!!!!

We had such a special day today and I am so blessed to know the joys of real parenting. Parenting without fears, stepping out with the aide of the Lord, doing it all different, doing it all radically because my faith is so radical in this world! Thankyou LORD for my life!
