Molly

During the afternoon part of co-op Molly has been taking the girls to the park down the road. 
I appreciate her so much. 



Cecily just adores her and waits by the door till she arrives each week.

Around the House

Zara loves for the kids to bury her in the sandbox. 

Little Girls! Movie Night!

Looking at this picture all I can see is my expression on C's face. I think she has grown so much in the past couple months. At church someone actually tapped her on the shoulder to ask a question thinking it was me. 
She is getting so close to passing me up. 

Back Porch Swing is Up. 
Snacks in the Sunshine. 
We have been clearing the trails for summer fun!

Life.

This is the only picture I took of our night. 
We went with a few other 4H families and laid mulch and planted flowers at two houses. 
Both are also homeschooling families. 
One lost their teenager in a car wreck. 
One lost their mother in December to Covid. 
It made us think so much of our Bell family. 
Levi went up to the dad to discuss the plan of landscaping and later that night he said he didn't know what to say because his eyes just looked hollow. 
Just like Ashli's. 

After we left that service project we stopped by the Connolly's house because they had bags of mulch laid out on their lawn and I thought why not we are already dirty. We spread their mulch out until they busted us and pulled up in the driveway. They were very sweet and thankful. 
We were very dirty as it was raining. We headed to Meijers to buy ironically laundry detergent and I joked to Levi this is the best commercial. 
Too many dirty kids with dirty parents carrying out laundry detergent from the store. 




 

Art/Science

Art Time!


Carly did Science last week and talked about bones and brought in cow bones! It was amazing. 


Art with Ms. Kelli!

 

The Year of Miss Agnes

We squeezed this short book in for the month. 
It was a sweet read and talked about children in Alaska and how one teacher made such a difference. 
 

Co-op 26 Weeks In!

This week for science was so much fun! I took the kids down the trail of the digestive system. 
We talked about facts and then stretched out tape measures to see how long our esophagus, small and large intestines really are. 

Then we did an experiment where we mashed up crackers and bananas with lemon juice (stomach acid) and water (saliva) we used pantyhose as intestines and then used cups with a small hole to show the colon. It was full of laughter and silliness, but I am sure it will be remembered.

More Memories

 I brought a snake for a blindfold trick in high school science and the younger group thought it was amazing. I busted them all in the bathr...
