T-Ball!

Image
By
Today Anthony had his very first T-Ball game! It was so adorable, and hilarious. Kids are so cute. One kid actually hit the ball, then ran out into the field, grabbed it and threw it to first base. I felt like we were in a Disney movie. Here are some pictures of the fun!


Anthony is so excited to be #1!!!




He cracked everyone up. Right before he was getting ready to hit, he tells everyone "I'm about to BLAST this ball!" hahaha!!!



Running to home plate!


Don't ask me how, but Ian got roped in to coaching the team. hahaha! Should be fun! 
                                      





Lukie was hilarious. One moment, he was playing on the big hill, the next minute he snuck in line and had a batting helmet on, trying to get a swing in. 
                                                  

He was not happy when I explained to him that we couldn't play.



Kayli came to watch!
                                      

& Shannon found out (the hard way) that hills + slippy shoes, don't mix too well: 
     Who says crab-walking isn't a useful skill?
This is why we are friends, by the way. A woman not afraid to crab-walk down a hill in public is someone who is obviously a kindred spirit of mine. (Although I would have just taken off the slippy shoes and gotten my feet all gross walking in the dirt. hahaha.)


What a fun way to spend a beautiful day! Anthony had a blast, and made some new friends.

Spring is Finally Here!

By
Finally! I feel like Spring has finally come to stay. My allergies are killing me, and my skin is reacting to sunlight in true Jess fashion. I'm pretty sure I have solar urticaria. WebMD told me so, so it must be legit. Seriously though, I do have all the symptoms and it seems to be getting worse with age. It's kind of awful but the fresh air is so nice, I can't stand to stay inside. I likely am going to have to get some sun protective clothing. If I was worried about being cool before, wearing a long-sleeve swimsuit really will seal my fate as a very, uncool mom. hahaha! Last week was so nice out that we took the whole week off from school and focused on enjoying the weather and preparing for Easter. The homeschooling community likes to say that instead of taking off for snow-days, we take off for sun-days. I do love that flexibility.  Today, we started back up with school again but the boys still spent most of the day outside in the fresh city air, and our day was pre...

Old Beginnings

By
     Well, I fought the urge to create a completely new blog and decided to update this trusty old dumping ground of musings and stories. I am not sure what this will end up being, if anything at all other than a fun website to look back on in a few years, before websites become obsolete altogether. The truth is, I really enjoy hearing the sound of my fingers tapping away at the computer keys. It makes me feel like I am doing something productive, even though I am not.      Here I sit, at 11:40pm on a Tuesday night and I wonder what exactly tomorrow will bring. It's strange to be able to predict with almost complete accuracy the grand scheme of the day, but also not know what quirks lie ahead. For instance today, I knew that the kids would be going outside to play. I did not know that before bed my 4 year old would claim to have broken his leg while outside and beg me to carry him up the stairs to his room (which I did). I did know that we would start a n...

Hello Again!

By
Wouldn't it be nice if I could update this blog more than once a year? Ha! Well we have been busy and I forget passwords to things all the time, so ... Anyway, wanted to update a little bit about our homeschooling journey. Last year we did Five In a Row and loved it. It was a little more teacher prep than I preferred, but well worth it. Anthony and I still have conversations about things we learned last year using that curriculum. This year, after learning of our newest addition to be added to our family in February, I wanted to switch to a curriculum that was still literature based, but more "put together" if you will. So we went with Heart of Dakota. There are some wonderful things about this curriculum so far. Of course the emphasis of books, and the gentle approach are what I love most about it. I also love that I can open my teacher's guide 20 minutes or so ahead of time, and be ready for the morning with very little prep. The theology is a little moralis...
