Our Homeschool Week {week 10}

In my life this week… It rained from Monday until Thursday. It was CA-RAZY! We haven't spent that much time inside in a really long time, probably last winter. Thankfully we had the first season of Little House on the Prairie to watch and we loaded up with a few dozen books from the library. We did lots of movie marathons. We did find time to get out and do a little puddle jumping. {Reed even did a great handstand in the mud}
In our homeschool this week…The rain did give us a great school week. LOTS of reading, we did math every day {only 5 days left in our math books!!} A few days we got out scraps of paper and the glue and the tape and the scissors and just cut and colored and glued until all of our papers were beautiful! We also ordered butterfly larva ... for a fun spring project!
I am inspired by… I've been receiving a TON of homeschool catalogs in the mail and I'm so excited for our fall schedule!
Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…We had a fun pizza party at some friends house. It was great to just get out for a while. Today we're headed to Oklahoma City. We're seeing our fabulous friends from Lone Grove!!
My favorite thing this week was…I loved watching Little House on the Prairie with my girls. We would tuck Reed into bed and then watch until 9 or so! They LOVE it, want dresses just like Mary & Laura and are actually learning a few history lessons!
Questions/thoughts I have… We will be doing unit studies over the summer! We are on too good of a roll to stop now :) What are some good unit studies that can be completed in a 2 week period? Some that I'm thinking of are telling time and money.
Things I’m working on…Easter skirts, we weeded the flower beds but haven't been able to get back out there to plant & I'm busy preparing for my family to visit {1 week from today!!!!}
I’m reading… I have lots of books in the works but haven't completed any of them. The Well Trained Mind & Educating the Whole Hearted Child to name a few.
I’m cooking… Everything I made this week was a FLOP! Complete bummer.
I’m grateful for…Snuggles, learning to embrace the moment & forgiveness.

It's been raining here every day since Monday too. I think we had a 4 hour window of sunshine yesterday and that's it! The kids are absolutely stir crazy.
