Ethans World... of crazyness

Ethan has been drawing lately, but... he is using our home as his canvas... I guess if your a little artist, he thinks he can draw anywhere.  He also loves making funny faces!

Soccer Season has started.

Well, Soccer has started and the kids are loving it....  They have been practicing hard and finally had their first game.  Logan scored 3 goals... {and he started out not liking soccer!}  Parris is really enjoying it too... she is staying focused to this sport and wants to play Middle School Soccer, so... she is becoming aggressive!  This is Jacobs 1st year playing and the kids ROCKS!!! Elizabeth tells me she will stick out the season but after her first game, she's hooked! So glad my kids all enjoy playing the same sport!

Girls are back to school!

 Well....  I have re-enrolled the girls {only} into school again.... They are back at Cascade!!!  I have many mixed feelings about this... Hoping that all goes well for both of them!  Parris is now in the 5th. grade... I am having a hard time thinking that next year she will be in Jr. High! REALLY!! *geesh* Parris has begged and begged to go back to public school and she told me she just was not a "homeschooling girl"...  Let's be fair... it was very hard homeschooling 4 children, having a toddler run around while trying to teach 4 kids...4 different grades, keeping house, running errands...ect, you get the point!   So, I allowed the girls to go back! Elizabeth was not ever taken out last year, so she was just ready to go back. The boys had an option... but made it very clear that they would like to continue with TNVA K-12.  This will be much easier, almost one on one learning.

 Parris was very excited. She has class with 4 of her friends from our small town, so she was happy to know she would know a few kids already!  The night before we did nails, straightened her hair, picked 5 different outfits then {FINALLY} narrowed it down to the one in the picture. *She does look mighty cute*

 Elizabeth was ready! She is very easy going *sometimes*  with what she picks out to wear.  She has her clothes picked out for the week already! She let me know that 2nd. grade would be harder and she had to have easy mornings.
