Delayed 4th of July celebration

This morning we focused on homework. Everyday the kids write an essay or practice penmanship, read to themselves, read to C, do a math and vocab assignment online and practice piano.

Essay writing.

Penmanship practice.

Reading to herself and effectively ignoring her camera wielding mother.

Piano practice.

Finally they were free to build and play. Today's creation was a Go Kart crafted from the finest half of a dog crate our neighbor could supply. Painting it with leftover paint from our stash in the garage was a highlight of the day.


Once Dad got home from work we were able to belatedly celebrate our nation's independence with sparklers and Pop-Its.





These boys...

They make me laugh every day.


Statues of Liberty.


My man. I got one of the good ones.

Our annual take-no-prisoners silly string fight.
