Our week has seemed so busy and I'm not really sure why! We had a few days of chronic pink eye which was no fun but after a week of sickness {almost 2} I think we are all on the mend! We filed our taxes {which is a PAIN when you have a rental house in another state . . . A PAIN!} I'm behind on laundry and cleaning but it was almost 70 degrees everyday this week so I made Charlotte Mason proud by spending most of our free time outside!
In our homeschool this week…
I wasn't banking on it but the Rod and Staff math books that I got for the girls were a HUGE success. I thought that might seem boring due to the fact that they aren't colorful but they just added their own color! I'm praying these books help them learn to write their numbers as well as teach basic math principles.
We worked on patterns by creating Valentines Day paper chains. I also finally got out our sand and water table but put rice in it. It was also a HUGE success. It kept little hands busy for almost 2.5 hours on day!
Overall I'm feeling we had a great week! A week that all kindergartners and preschoolers should have. A lot of learning through lots of play.
Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…
We had a fun play date with some friends from our homeschool co-op. We also did make it to swimming and art classes this week but the other few days were were quarantined.
My favorite thing this week was…
Hauling two bags of books outside, along with a blanket and reading for hours with our bare toes in the green grass! I need to take the time to do this more often. 
Questions/thoughts I have…
Homeschool Momma's: What's your favorite math curriculum?
Things I’m working on…
I have a long list of things to get gone this weekend while Jeremy is gone at drill! We only have 5 drill weekends left! PRAISE THE LORD!! After 12 years of Army we're ready to be done.
I’m reading…
Don't laugh but I'm still working on Room. It has finally gotten to the point where it's good so I'm enjoying it a little more. I have to have it done by the 9th because that's our first book club meeting! I'm also still working my way through Clay and Sally Clarkson's book, Educating the Whole Hearted Child. I love it but I read it slow in order to process all of the information. I do feel like I need to read a book re: a child with a strong will! I have one of those on my hands and he's a daily challenge! What's your favorite book?
I’m cooking…
Not much. We've had a lot of sandwiches this week but that's okay. It's been worth it to play outside. Come summer I'm thinking we will live on fruit and veggies alone.
I’m grateful for…
My hard working husband. I don't tell him nearly enough . . .
Have a great weekend!

You're doing an awesome job!!
I love the idea of putting rice in your sand and water table. My daugher's birthday is coming up this month and we're hoping Grandpa gets us a sand and water table - it looks like so much fun!!

We like the Rod and Staff books for the younger grades, too. Love your outlook on life and your approach to schooling.
Your kiddos look pretty young. For my 4 yo I am currently using Singapore Kindergarten A and it works nicely for us...he actually usually asks to do more than I assign. As for a strong willed little one, I'm right there with ya...mine's 20 mo. The cuteness and cuddles make up for the stinker in him though :).
Sounds like you guys have been having a wonderful week of schooling, & great weather. Stopping by from the HMJ.
