Beds for school

I was working with Nora on her math when I glanced to see how Molly was doing with hers and I found that she had made a bed under her desk to make her more "comfortable."  I thought, "that's so great that she has that flexibility." She has struggled sitting still in public school and would sometimes get in trouble for fidgeting, which made her feel horrible about herself, so I was glad she had found a way around that.
Then Emy and Nora saw her and thought she had a great idea, and suddenly the school room turned into a bed room, and I didn't think it was so cute anymore, and actually I was kind of annoyed.  However I let them have there fun as long as they got their work done.  It wasn't so much that I was bothered by the "beds" it was the fact that I knew it was going to be a battle to get them to clean it up.  (And it was.)  

Even with the battle though, I'm glad they are in an environment where they fill safe, and can do what they need to in order to get their work done.

Jesus Walking on the Water

Originally for gospel study I was printing coloring pages for them to color on, but I'm really loving just watching what they come up with.  It's so much more fun, and they get really into their drawings. Nora was upset about the black "narwhal" on her picture, because little sister Emy added that feature, and it was not appreciated.

Baby Time

I've mentioned before that this one is a very messy eater and so she usually gets a spray down in the sink in the morning which she absolutely loves. Then we get her dressed and have some reading time before school.  This morning she wasn't interested in sharing her chair...

Sophie Mouse

My girls LOVE the Sophie Mouse books, and to be honest so do I.  They are cute stories that build good character.  There is no questionable material in them, they are just good books! They are an early reader chapter book, so they have some illustrations, and the stories are fun and easy to follow.  Molly my 7 year old read them all last year. This year I read them aloud to Nora my 5 year old before bed, and she will probably read them on her own sometime next year.  She is still frustrated pretty easily by reading even though she can do it, so we keep things pretty short in that area for now.  If you haven't read the adventures of Sophie Mouse and you have little girls at home (or even little boys!) I highly recommend them!
