More of May!

In karate the kids got to break boards with both their hands and then their feet.

 School life has continued on...

My wish came true and we finally have a homeschool room! We have so many plans to fix it up this summer.

 We signed up for new library cards at our new library!

The librarian recommended books for the kids based on their interests... the next morning I crept into their rooms to see why they hadn't woken us up yet and this is what I found!

Wonderful friends came over and made us planter boxes, brought us veggies and herbs, and helped us plant them! This is what they looked like that day... they are now HUGE!

We planted arugula, cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflower, mixed greens, grape tomatoes, lavender, parsley, basil, strawberries, and more!

 

A few short days later our seeds started sprouting leaves!

 This girl got her very first pair of hoop earrings.

We went over to a friend's house and burned sparklers for the first time ever!

 

Playing in the backyard is a daily occurrence now that we are homeowners!  

Finally, Juan invented a language arts game for Caitlin called wordly feud. He even puts on game show music. I came home to find this on the little easel and J & C told me all about it. I can't possibly love him more!! <3
