I can't believe we are starting our 7th week of school this week! I wanted to post some pictures I took of the kids last week. They've been working so hard.

Drennan is my avid reader. He is currently reading Lord of the Rings (Fellowship of the rings). But since that is such a big book I have him to read shorter books during the day. (He reads fellowship when he goes to bed.) One morning he decided to read on the front porch, while the other kids were busy inside.

Lila is in Kindergarten. She LOVES school work, and she's such an eager learner. She writes letters all the time. I can't wait for her to start reading. Here she is putting straw pieces in play-doh to trace over the letters she was working on.

Our little Judels hops right in there with us. When I snapped this picture he was playing with his cookie monster backpack and watching a show.

 Micah is messing around on the computer. He's come a long way with his school. He started out "hating his letters," and now he's reading chapter books faster than I can put the titles of them on his reading list.

This is a random shot of Lila holding a teeny, tiny Tinkerbell. She was dressed really cute this day, so I grabbed the camera. She said, "Take a picture of me holding Tinkerbell for Ainsley to see." 

Last Sunday, my grandmother called and asked if the kids wanted to go to a homemade amusement park. My dad's cousin apparently bought some used amusement park items and fixed them up.

So Tad and my dad took the 3 big kids. It was nap time for little Judles, so he and I stayed at home.

They got to ride on a miniature Ferris Wheel and Bumper Cars. From what I heard, they didn't want to leave when it was time to go. :)

Needless to say I hope Jude and I can go the next time. Drennan, Micah, and Lila had a blast!
