I, admittedly, am way behind on blogging! No, its not because my house is clean, or even my kids for that matter. I think its because I do so much better at reading other people's blogs than creating my own! Some day maybe I'll be more consistent! ;) But, school on the other hand, has become very consistent! We are very much looking forward to starting our "real school" in august! I will be introducing a lot more projects to go along with our history program, and more live books! But, here is a day after all the planned learning has been put away, and we just play and have a blast! Enjoy! I sure know I did!

**i can count this as team-building, right? and music class

** oh, all the things you can learn from a ball! We put a bunch of toys in Sweet Girl's room, so they are practically new to her, even though we have had them for a long time. She is finally starting to use them as intended! She played with this polar bear toy for a 1/2 hr! She liked to tease it, pretending to put the ball in, and then not. then she turned it into a race, to put the ball in, and catch it before it went all the way down the slide. I have never seen a kid so interested in a toy before! It was an excellent show.

** some loving time! i can never get too many hugs or kisses!
We are very excited for Sweet Girl's 1st birthday coming up! She's having a butterfly themed party! I know she has no clue whats going on, but I am overwhelmed at how fast this first year flew by! I am attempting to come up with some Montessori type of activities to start Tot School with her when she turns one, but nothing looks interesting enough for me yet! If anyone has any ideas, i'd love to hear them! So, for now, we'll just keep playing, and reading!
