Homeschool ready! Monday we start….K, 2nd and 4th grades!

A week ago, we had nothing for our homeschool room except for the curriculum, which I hadn't looked at once.  In fact this room was Brayden and Lucy's bedroom and in a  week we have ordered furniture, put it together (Jay put some together after work and Karis and I together put together 3 desks and a bookshelf all by ourself…yea we were on a mission and proud!) and have made it into a schoolroom.  Monday is the day we start homeschool…Lucy begins Kindergarten, Brayden starts 2nd grade and Karis starts 4th!  Here is a peek into our classroom….

Finger lookin' good….

Just some home cooking' this week and some for the first time in 7 months!!!!

Homemade milkshakes….

We don't have condensed milk here and I needed it for a cold brewed coffee I was making so I looked up a homemade recipe.  It was good!


Thankful for a package from Mrs. Kay so that we could make some sweet tea for the first time since we moved here.  It is SOOOOO good.
These were delicious and not hard.  I got them off interest called 30 minute pretzels.



Jay's request one night…beans, corn bread and sweet tea.

Timehop

I am loving the app Timehop lately and remembering how little, sweet and beautiful my babies were and still are.  There is something about seeing baby pictures again…no matter how much you try not to forget, sometimes we do forget the details of our children's features as they grow.

Here are some of my recent favorites...
