Any time (more accurately, every time) I introduce Ruthie as our youngest child, she immediately corrects me. "No! MONSTER is the youngest!"
I have to quickly explain I don't actually have a 5th child I'd forgotten about -- one that I named 'Monster' -- and that Monster is our cat.
Our new house has this front room with French doors. We call it the "homeschool room," even though we don't conduct much official schooling in there. Really it's just a place to house all of the books and binders and the printer.
The legos also live in this room, which means this is where you can usually find Sydney.
When I took this picture, Sydney and Lorelei had closed the French doors so they could listen to their audiobook (coming out of the computer's speakers) in peace.
Happy Monday!
I remembered to take a picture the first day of school (right before we walked inside)!
Our homeschool group meets at a church, so "Westside" is part of the church's name, not the name of the kids' school.
We had a great first day. It was slightly hectic, like all first days are, but they were excited to get back to our weekly group meetings and to meet new friends.
