Meet Vanilla ~ Moments to Remember

Moments to Remember was developed as a simple way to look back on our week as homeschoolers and find photos that encompass the memories we want to remember. 

The week may have been tough, there may have been more bumps than smiles, but in the end these are the moments that keep us going, the ones we need to remember.

 

Meet Vanilla. He is the latest addition to our home and a constant interruption visitor in our homeschool. There are certain children who suddenly disappear and then reappear holding Vanilla.

Because isn’t he so cute???

{sigh}

If you’re wondering how he could possibly be related to homeschooling, I’ll tell you. Vanilla is a wonderful little carrot to dangle in front of the noses of little children. Incentive never hurts anyone and he is a pretty cute incentive, isn’t he?

Evidence of Learning ~ Moments to Remember

Moments to Remember was developed as a simple way to look back on our week as homeschoolers and find photos that encompass the memories we want to remember. 

The week may have been tough, there may have been more bumps than smiles, but in the end these are the moments that keep us going, the ones we need to remember.

 

This picture just makes me smile!

We’ve been reviewing different facts from our Mystery of History studies, and this week I found a HUGE stash of cards that belonged to the lessons we had already studied {it helps to go through the cards ~ ahem}. Each day we reviewed a portion of the cards from our past 45 lessons to see what the kids remembered and I am AMAZED at what they have retained {and a wee bit relieved to know it is all sinking in!}.

The Windowseat ~ Moments to Remember

The week may have been tough, there may have been more bumps than smiles, but in the end these are the moments that keep us going, the ones we need to remember.

 

I know he doesn’t look super thrilled in this picture, but Zachary has been working through the first Life of Fred book with me {and really enjoying it}. The reason that I love this picture though is he and I have spent a lot of time sitting in the window this week for his 1:1 time with me {reading, language, and math}, and that little spot is turning out to be just how I envisioned it oh so long ago. :) I love having him snuggle up beside me to read to me or work on schoolwork together.

Something that I am so very thankful for in homeschooling ~ the ability to be flexible. Our week off in school fell during a time that I had to travel. While the kids are at home relaxing with their dad, I am learning and being encouraged by a fun group of ladies.

Scavenger Hunts ~ Moments to Remember

Moments to Remember was developed as a simple way to look back on our week as homeschoolers and find photos that encompass the memories we want to remember. 

The week may have been tough, there may have been more bumps than smiles, but in the end these are the moments that keep us going, the ones we need to remember.

This week I uploaded pictures to my computer and found a huge batch of ones that were not ones I had taken. The kids {for several days in a row} put together scavenger hunts for each other that took them into the woods and around our house for an hour or so at a time. Laurianna would create clues and then run around and hide them for the others to find ~ and they had SO much fun!

 

Seeing these pictures just made me smile and also grateful that they had the time to do this together. :) It also cracked me up that they documented each scavenger hunt and the steps along the way.

Moments to Remember ~ Wiggleworm

The week may have been tough, there may have been more bumps than smiles, but in the end these are the moments that keep us going, the ones we need to remember.

There’s a little boy around these parts who cannot.sit.still. The wiggles overtake him rather frequently and as much as it drives me crazy many time, it just made me laugh the other day.

Because this was the scene when we were learning prepositions. I can think of many prepositions that describe this picture ~ under the desk, up in the air, over his head, behind the easel…

{sigh}

I love this wiggleworm.

Homeschooling in the Car ~ Moments to Remember

Moments to Remember was developed as a simple way to look back on our week as homeschoolers and find photos that encompass the memories we want to remember. 

The week may have been tough, there may have been more bumps than smiles, but in the end these are the moments that keep us going, the ones we need to remember.

Earlier in the week we had to head out the door mid-morning. The kids had done much of their independent work already, but history and our read-alouds were still waiting to be done.

Enter the audiobooks. :) We have the companion audio cd’s for Mystery of History and were able to do our history lesson in the car, and then had MUCH fun listening to a different audiobook for the hour plus that we were driving around.

And I definitely love that flexibility!!

The week may have been tough, there may have been more bumps than smiles, but in the end these are the moments that keep us going, the ones we need to remember.

We have had so much fun every day watching our birdfeeder through the window off our kitchen ~ identifying the different birds {and yelling at the squirrels}. And while this picture may have no kiddos in it, typically you will find one of them sitting on the floor with a chin propped in hands, watching out the window.

The week may have been tough, there may have been more bumps than smiles, but in the end these are the moments that keep us going, the ones we need to remember.

What’s so special about the above picture? During one of our Mystery of History lessons I looked over to see Zachary had rather…ummm…embellished his drawing with stick figures galore.

There’s even a crocodile in there up at the top. And nerf guns. It’s a odd mix between our Grapevine stick figures meeting a Trojan horse all in an effort to win Helen back.

And it just makes me smile. Because this is truly one of those lessons that he remembers…and didn’t get in trouble for because I was just laughing so hard at his creativity.

Moments to Remember ~ School at Breakfast

Moments to Remember was developed as a simple way to look back on our week as homeschoolers and find photos that encompass the memories we want to remember. 

The week may have been tough, there may have been more bumps than smiles, but in the end these are the moments that keep us going, the ones we need to remember.

What’s so special about the above picture? It just made me smile since it was our second day back to school after break and Laurianna was so excited about her new math book. Enough so that she started her work early that morning and was reading it out loud and laughing with McKenna about it during breakfast.

The fact that we can sit, eat breakfast, and do school in our pajamas just makes me happy. :)

Moments to Remember ~ Dogsitting

Moments to Remember was developed as a simple way to look back on our week as homeschoolers and find photos that encompass the memories we want to remember. 

The week may have been tough, there may have been more bumps than smiles, but in the end these are the moments that keep us going, the ones we need to remember.

A dog. How exactly does that tie in with homeschooling? Well, the arrival of a dog into our household {for dog-sitting the next 2 weeks} officially marks the end of the first half of our year.

And this picture just makes me smile, because even though one would expect chaos when a dog entered the house, it actually has brought a calm to a few children as they sit, pet and read to the dog. I wasn’t able to snap a picture of our three youngest all surrounding the dog on her big ol’ pillow and reading story after story…but it was so cute and you’ll just have to take my word on it. :)

Don’t think that there aren’t 4 children in high hopes that we will be introducing a dog into our household in the near future…and I’ll be the first to admit that I’m warming up to the idea…shhhhh!
