A is for Apple, A is for Acorn

I finally felt comfortable enough with the way school was going for the boys that I could include Olivia.
Okay, maybe the truth is that Josiah and Isaac decided Olivia needed to start learning her letters...

She started with the letter A this week and she is an A queen.

The kids and I went to the park to gather some acorns. Then we ventured on over to Tom Thumb (aka: Tom's Thumb...by Isaac or aka: Tom Thumbs...by Olivia) for some apples. Mix them together and you get a new toy!




Then today we took a new look at the way we get our snacks.
(Yes, Josiah is wearing the same shirt as yesterday. And, I just cleaned my floors yesterday so don't mind them, they never stay clean.)

What are we going to do?
Wait for it....




Apple bobbing.
I'm liking this pre-school business.

  1. I wondered if Livie was going to get included in school this year. Good job, guys!! I never could bob for apples very well.

  2. So I was the homeschooled student, and you are the homeschool mom. I'm wanting to homeschool Kamri, but Nick won't let me. Looks like your kids enjoy homeschooling.

  3. Yay for Liv! I think the apples and acorns together in the bowl would make a lovely fall-ish centerpiece. We don't have acorns here...just dead grass and heat. Happy Homeschooling!

  4. Again ~ you are super Mom. Clean floors and homeschooling?!?! Don't have a clue how you do it all!! Also, I saw the post on the side about your referral. Bitter sweet. Long eyelashes would just be perfect in your family :) Still praying.

  5. Taren- Ha! I love that Nick won't let you. Tell him that I promise I don't wear denim jumpers.

    Tamra- It's been a rough day. I was pretty attached to that first sweet baby. But the little girl who will be ours is beautiful. I can't wait to share her pictures. I keep saying that she's got some spunk in her eyes...she'll fit right in!
