Home-Schoolers in Sping

Look at these home school girls:





























Started our day with lessons on Ivan the Terrible and Ivan the Great..Latin songs and two digit adding.  Then we went to our nursing home ministry.  Lots of hugs for the Grandmas and Papas there.  Lunch on the porch followed by WAY too many girl scout cookies.  The rest of the day = playing outside while mom fills out her NCAA brackets.  Winter was rough, but it is great to be a home-schooler in spring.

Cousins

Check out the fun we had with our Urban Cousins:

I like my cousins inside:

I like my cousins in the mud and rain:

I even like my cousins..riding on a train:

Guess Where We Are Going

Three Hints:

Yes!  Chicago!  It is just me and the girls this time. PD has to work.  But I want to take the kids to the Shedd Aquarium for the first time:

It is amazing.  Can you say Baby Beluga???

and dolphin show:

The PKs are going to love love love it.  The rest of the time, I plan to sit on my sister's antique pink velvet devan that she inherited from my Nana, watch The Duggars on her DVR and eat baked good while the cousins play. Ahhhh, as long as I can manage the 7 hour car ride on my own.  Yikes.
