A View of the Rooms

The kids wanted to show yall their rooms...R. does have a bed in the girls' room...it's a trundle! :-)

Boxes

As I continue to unpack, A. is doing the environmentally conscious thing and recycling the boxes. In this particular scenario, her puppies get a beautiful arrangement of row houses. Each have their own "unit."

They seem to be enjoying this new living situation!

Design on a Dime! or Should I Say Dollar!

A. and R. needed a new lampshade for their room. So, a visit to the dollar aisle at Target helped us add a little bling to make a plain white shade acceptable for the girls' room! A. was quite pleased with the results!

The Final Countdown!

Our "Summer Vacation" is winding down. The final countdown toward a new school year has begun...

We are planning to start our official school year on Monday, August 25th! Any and all prayers lifted up on our behalf in this area will be greatly appreciated! It is always exciting to begin a new school year. Even seeing the school supplies on sale at all the stores makes me want to go buy new pencils and crayons! (We don't need either this year! but $0.22, come on!!)

Anyway, we are starting a new core curriculum called Tapestry of Grace. I am really excited about this History focused curriculum which emphasizes God's plan of redemption being unfolded throughout time. I love it! He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow!

Creativity!

A. loves to create things. Mega Blocks are fun to build a two story building to house her water animals on the bottom level; land animals on the second level and some flying animals on the roof! Here she shows us her Playdoh pizza and cookies.
