It’s a Beautiful Day!

Posted in Homeschooling, and Thoughts

Yesterday, I was able to finish up with all of the painting which meant a more relaxing day today. The thunderstorms that rolled through last night cooled things off a bit, so the weather was absolutely wonderful for Munchkin’s baseball game. As we approach the last game of the season (next Saturday), we can see how much the kids have grown in their baseball knowledge and skills. Munchkin has gained a new found love of the game. Next week, they’ll have their award ceremony. We’ll be sad to say goodbye to our homeschool league, but we’ve been grateful for the…

Painting, Painting, and More Painting…

Posted in Homemaking, and Thoughts

Over the weekend, we went and visited family in North Carolina. Munchkin enjoyed playing with her cousins and her Grandma for a few days. We know that once we move these times will be far less frequent. We’ve been taking advantage of these opportunities as much as possible. We arrived home on Tuesday and received some news about the sale of our house (not good). I had planned on getting the trailer organized this week, and getting back to a more normal schedule with Munchkin’s schooling. The news changed all of that. To make a long story short, I had…

Strawberry Picking

Posted in Family, and Homemaking

We love that time of year where the strawberries are ready for picking. Yummy!! Since the critters around our house keep eating all of the strawberries that we planted this year, we headed over to the strawberry field. Daddy and Munchkin searching for the best spot to start picking berries. Daddy does not enjoy picking berries, but he decided that he would join us anyway. I like to quickly pick the berries as it can get rather warm out in the sun. I forgot to put on my new hat, so the sun was beating down on me. Munchkin listened…

Yorktown Battlefield

Posted in Family, and Homeschooling

Once again, Munchkin participated in the Junior Ranger program. We were a little rushed during our time at the Yorktown Battlefield as they closed too soon after our arrival from Jamestown. We attended a very interesting guided tour as part of the program. Unfortunately, this tour was going to run until after the park closed. We left a little early and asked ranger if she’d be willing to sign off on Munchkin’s work even though she still hadn’t completed all of the activities. She agreed since we planned on completing the activities after the visitor’s center had closed. The Yorktown…
