First Day April 2015

I can't believe another month has gone already. Welcome to our First Day of April post! I hope you had a fun April Fools Day. We aren't big on pranks and untruths around here, but we did play a little joke on daddy (no lying involved).

We didn't make it to co-op because kiddos still aren't feeling the best. I knew that in their one class, the girls were to be dyeing eggs, so, we decided to do it at home.

As it was a no-school day, the children got to play games in the morning. Please excuse the stuffies, we have been cleaning out the playroom and the children were told to put all the stuffed animals on the love seat in order for mommy and daddy to go through them.

Tabitha is becoming quite the little artist.

To dye or not to dye? That is the question.

What is left of the cake the children and daddy made the other night to surprise me.

I told you we did a little something for April Fool's Day. I saw this idea shared on Facebook and thought it would be great fun to trick daddy. And we didn't have to lie. We did make him "brown e's." Hehehe!

Tabitha decided to do her own little joke and made daddy a Sand Witch (sandwich).

Yes, we did dye the eggs.

My girl is reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I really didn't think she would be ready for it so young, but she is doing great.

It seems abcmouse.com got in on the fun of April Fools Day.

Poor boy still wasn't feeling well.

That's mommy's girl.

The others were asleep all ready.

Time for my alone time with my new review product from the Schoolhouse Review Crew.

And, this is how I tend to end my days. Falling asleep playing Wordament on my phone.

Throwback Thursday Blog-Style #41: April 2, 2015

Welcome back to... 

I know, I know, Throwback Thursday seems to be all about sharing pictures from the past, great memories that mean something to you, that you would like to share with others. At least that is how it appears to me. Throwback Thursday wasn't something I was participating in, and then I came up with an idea.

I thought it would be great fun and a help to my blog to share old content, but not just any old content. Each week I will share an old blog post from a previous year, any year, BUT it has to be from the current week (for example, something I've posted around April 2nd, from any previous year)  I will go in, edit the post if needed, add a pinnable image if I don't already have one, and share it on Facebook. 

Would you like to join in? You do not need to edit your past post in any way, you don't need to create a pinnable image, though it couldn't hurt, in fact it will help your blog traffic to add quality pinnable images to your posts.

Just go into your archives, choose a favorite post from this current week from any previous year, and link it up below. 

I will be pinning posts to my appropriate Pinterest boards and will be randomly selecting a Featured Throwback Thursday post to share next week. Just a note, I will be sharing a picture from your post if you are selected as the featured post, but I will link back to your post. I will ALWAYS give credit and link back. By linking up you are giving me permission to use your picture in the post. 

Here is my Throwback Thursday post:

Wordless Wednesday: April 1st, 2015 (w/linky)- Poor Sick Little Girl

I didn't realize the night I snapped this pictures last week that Hannah wasn't feeling well. I thought she was just tired and I caught her in the act of falling asleep sitting on a pile of stuffies.

When she woke up the next morning she had a fever, so she stayed with daddy while we went to co-op.

When she woke up the next day with 103.something fever, daddy took her to the doctor. She tested positive for the flu, so she spent the next couple of days resting.

Don't worry, she's all better now. 

Though we did stay home from co-op today because the other children have been coughing.

Looking forward to seeing your Wordless (or not so wordless) Wednesday posts this week.

Workbox Wednesday- April 1, 2015

Welcome to Workbox Wednesday! 

We have started another review product that will contribute to the girls' workboxes. Thanks to the Schoolhouse Review Crew, we have a new Bible Study from Real Life Press called Firmly Planted: The Books of Moses Part Two: God Guides His Family and Gives Them His Rules. We are going to be digging deeper into the stories in Genesis that we recently skimmed through with My Father's World. During our morning  Bible Time we will be reading the study guide, and then the children will have worksheets in their workboxes. Here is a sneak peak.

The review for Real Life Press will be posting early in May.

If you use workboxes, tot trays, or anything similar, feel free to post a link to your blog post or a picture (pictures can be from facebook, but please make sure they are PUBLIC so we can see them, or use a host like photobucket.com to get a URL for your photo) that shows WHAT IS IN YOUR BOXES!

Please don't forget to visit my co-hosts at Chestnut Grove Academy and Line Upon Line Learning.

Visit others that link up, leave comments, follow, etc. The favors will be returned! Feel free to grab a button too, so others can find the link up and join in the fun!

What is in your workboxes?
