Saturday

Today has been a very productive day.  Since it was Saturday we took the trash to the dump, bought a few groceries and dropped a bag off at the Hospice Store.  I have managed to gather things to donate to the Hospice Store for the past four weeks.  Hopefully, soon my house will be completely decluttered!  I've also almost finished with the lesson plans for next week.  I only have to work on our history plans tomorrow and we will be ready for another week.  I hope to post pictures during the week of some of our school work.  It will be so easy to fill up the workboxes every night and then Abbie will be able to complete her school work for the day.   Maybe soon I will post a picture of our workbox system.

At the end of the day you can see a picture of our cat Furball.  She must have worked very hard today too since she is all snuggled in for a nap!

Spring Bulletin Board

Abbie and I just finished working on one of the bulletin boards at church.  The red flowers you see are roses made out of duct tape.  We had fun making these duct tape roses one Wednesday night at church.

Here's a picture of Abbie sewing a pillow for her new little nephew.

Now, she is turning it rightside out .

Stuffing the pillow.

Handsewing it closed.

Finished pillow.  I think she did a great job and I hope Matthew will enjoy using his pillow.

This post is  a work in progress.  I plan to continue to add websites that will help all of us in our homeschooling journey.
