Jack is about to finish his first year of school. I'm so proud of us both for completing a year of homeschooling.
It's neat to look back to the begining of the school year and see all that he's learned in 9 months.
I'm glad though that this school year is coming to an end and we get a LONG summer break.
I think next year we are going to try a co-op that will meet once a week in addition to the homeschool PE class that he takes 2 days a week.
Jack turned 6 right before Christmas and has lost 4 teeth throughout this school year.
He has already had a lot of firsts in 2011: got stitches, joined a soccer team, caught a pigeon,
caught a ribbon snake, and won first place in a mutton bustin competition at the Houston Rodeo. Here are some pictures of our Big Boy...

God Creates Cool Stuff!
Tuesday, March 22, 2011 | Posted by Lindsay at 7:16 PM |
Okay, so I need a better title for my new blog series. Someone gimme somethin'.
I was making pizza dough today and I put my nice little ball of dough in a bowl to let rest and rise. 
I love coming back to my once small, dense ball of dough to see it doubled in size and super fluffy.
I started thinking,"how does God come up with this stuff?" "Yeast?"
It's these little granules and it's a fungus and it magically
(I use this word for any scientific stuff I don't understand)
makes the dough nice and fluffy. Crazy! I am daily amazed at God's creation.
So In this new series I would like to find different creatures, food, plants, anything really, that show off God's handiwork.
I will try to maintain this new series,
including pictures because pictures make blog posts
awesome but I'm not making any promises!
"The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork."
Psalm 19:1

Here it is:
Even though no one got the exact answer I'm calling the game. And we have 2 winners this week. The first winner is Shannon. She had the almost-exactly-right-answer, "butterfly wing." As you can see, it actually was a dragonfly wing. Courtney is the second winner with the most creative and impossible answer, "an old metal bed frame found on the bottom of the ocean floor from the Titanic." Congrats girls!! And thanks for playing everybody!

Get your thinking caps on and let the guessing begin!!
We have a couple of winners this week! Kim was the first to correctly guess pine needles, Elizabeth was the first to correctly guess trampoline and Katie was the only person to put the two answers together. Way to go girls!! (BTW I did fade the picture slightly to make it a little trickier)
The weather was nice and windy today so we had some fun out on the trampoline. The kids are dying for me to jump with them but I realized today just getting on the trampoline and sitting in there with them while they jumped had them pretty excited.
