Another Year
As I gear up for the beginning of another homeschool year, I thought I might post some pictures that I took of Mrs. Sayuri beginning of last school year. I know I’m very late posting about these, but this will help me remind myself to take school photos again this year and since Mr. Happy […]
Painted Birdhouses
A while ago, My father in law got two wooden bird houses with the children in mind. Mrs. Sayuri chose the blue bird nesting box and Mr. Happy Feet chose to paint the more common bird house. I set them up outside in the grass with a garden table covered with newspaper. Baby Girl was […]
