Cleaning up the School Room

Friday's are usually our fun days, but we still had to get some chores in. The school room was looking pretty messy by the end of the week so the girls all chipped in and we got it cleaned up in no time. It's a lot of work having them "help" with chores, but it's been so rewarding to watch as Molly is finally able to actually be helpful. It gives me hope for when they are all a bit older, maybe one day we will be able to keep the house clean without it being so stressful for mom!

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!
