Alyssa's new hobby

Yesterday Alyssa got her first bow. It took about an hour to get everything right for her. Once everything was ready she got to practice with it and on her 3rd shot ever she got a bullseye! She's a champ.






















and one of LJ just because....he's shooting a bow.

LJ is starting school soon

I made the decision to homeschool LJ this year. I'm sure it will be a challenge since I work full time but it will be good for him and especially good when his OT appointments are over. He's only got a few more weeks left.

I'll be using the curriculum from ABC Jesus Love Me. It's online and it's free. I will have to purchase a few books to go along with it. Some of the books I'm sure I can find at the library...there are number and letter books to go with each lesson. I bought one of the bibles he needed tonight at Walmart and I'll look for the other one next week at the bookstore.

I have a lot to get in order so it'll take me a couple weeks to get everything together but I'm excited to start. Reminder...get new printer cartridge. LOL

I picked up a cookie sheet tonight also. I plan to use it as a magnet board for activities. I've got mangetic numbers and letters that we'll use and I am going to make weather magnets and days of the week as well as months of the year. He's gonna learn a lot <<< and I'll be working on my grammar there..no more gonnas. HAHA

Off to research.

Kitchen Makeover

Awful outdated wallpaper was on the walls. I was so sick of looking at the burgandy/navy/hunter colors so I finally got around to painting.


I chose a beige color but the flash really washed it out on the pictures. I'll try to take some new pics when I'm completely finished. It's very pretty with the white cabinets!
