First Day ~ August

By

I am joining up again this month with Nicole at Journey to Josie on her First Day linky. This First Day was a special one, as it was somebody's birthday.

Tay got the award for telling me 'Happy Birthday' first.

Homemade zucchini bread for breakfast.
My first zucchini from MY garden.

600 printed pages later and we have our unit study curriculum ready to go!

From our the ladies at our church.

Kyndal and I took a trip to the Amish bulk foods store.

My new birthday sneaks from my husband arrived today!

Brynne and I on a ride back from Redbox.

Reading and relaxing at the pool.

And jumping ...

And goggling ...

Ready for dinner at mom and dad's.

Dawson and Taylar.

My precious niece Bell visiting from Oregon. LOVE her!!

Yes, those numbers are in the equation for my age.

Ending the day with tea and Les Miserables.

See what other ladies were doing on their first day of August.

    Love the cloth diaper cover on your niece. That was one of the best parenting choices we made Cloth Diapering.

    Holy Moly 600 pages yikes, hope that was mostly black/white ink.

    What a fun day! This post made my morning!

    So you printed that bad boy out? I wanted to use that next year but just can't decide how I feel about printing that much. Maybe if I close my eyes and pretend I'm not using all that ink I can handle it! Our literature program this year was a doozy to print, so I did half now and will do half later. Which is silly cause it's the same amount of printing whether I do it now or later! I'm such a dork!

    Happy Birthday to you! Your zucchini bread looks delicious.

    We are hopefully going to finish Road Trip USA this year. It is a lot of stuff!!! My three inch binder barely fits the teacher pages. It is a lot of fun though :)

ABCya

By
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.

Talk about a GOLD MINE! A Thomas Jefferson Education's This Week in History by Rachel DeMille is her "labor of love" ... and I absolutely LOVE it!

THEN there are ALL kinds of things to do related to that event, such as books to read, websites to visit, ac
