Year: 2014

Our friends lost their floating home in a fire this week. They are temporarily staying in a hotel and don’t have much wiggle space. The boys came over today so their parents could tend to some things. We played with legos for hours.

We went to the playground and hunted bugs and lizards.

We hiked along the river, on the side Mom said we shouldn’t go. I got stunk by a wasp, silly me and not listening.

We came home and scrapped the mud off and played bay blades.

Dinner and a movie.

Then off to the store for cinnamon roles for breakfast.

We left them in the car by mistake when we got home. Oh well! The boys ended going home before morning so we didn’t need them anyway!

I am enjoying my Studies Weekly papers. I really like the science ones.

I am also enjoying my FLVS Science class. I am on track to finish an 18 week course in under 7 weeks!

Today I was exploring friction by rolling a ball down a ramp onto different surfaces.

We took a homeschool ice skating open house class.

  

I worked some more on my photography.

We had a big playground event planned but it got rained out so Mom made E and I a cool tent in the bedroom to play in. We plan to sleep in it tonight.

Mommy made me a hedge-podge plate. It was a aquarium themed dinner.

More ice skating classes. I got put in the highest skill level class. That doesn’t mean that I am a skating superstar, it means that I could make it across without falling over and knew some basic skills.

I am cranking through my photography class. We went on a walk today around the neighborhood and I took pictures the entire way. I loved this one of the playground.

We went to the spray ground with some friends. Mom painted my face with red sunblock! She used a little too much so applied what was extra like war paint.

We went to County Congress for 4H.

We saw Phinley get his belt for winning Mascot Mania 2014!

I taught Emmerson about butterflies.

I learned I have a new least favorite subject, no shocker, it involves WRITING!

We went as a family to Howard Park to take some photos. I caught a gopher tortoise on the move.

I works on my rule of thirds photos.

Emmerson was a good spot for all my crazy photos.

We practiced “behaving” at the grocery store.

What a crazy busy first week of official school.

My pal Lex stayed over tonight. After a long day we started to unwind with a cutthroat game of Dino-o-poly.

Mom sent us to go to bed and it turned into a diving across the living room event. Lex can certainly fly!

E joined in on the action.

We had a blast goofing off and relaxing.

Mid morning sword fighting.

Certainly gets the blood flowing.

I am working on taking photos for my class. Today I had to take a selfie!

When we were outside we saw an armadillo.

I also worked on perspective shots with my stuffed frog.

I am loving the 50 states unit Mom is doing with us.

Working on my spelling lessons.

On to Latin, Song School Latin 2.

I love all my subjects this year and will eventually find my grove for the year.
