At home school

I've recently started coloring in my spare time, which isn't as often as I would like....  It's very therapeutic and helps me relax.

Tracelyn likes to color with me ;)  

We've actually started trying to do little preschool type activities with some books and puzzles and such that I got from Costco

Tracelyn's 'home-school', as she likes to call it, involves gardening lessons... she saw this sad little blueberry plant and decided it needed extra watering ;)

I've been trying to practice my violin lessons while Trace is gone for an hour at her dance lessons... it's the only real time that I have to do it ;)

Sometimes, if mom's in the mood, we go to the mall and shop... these trips wouldn't be complete without some pretzel bites ;)

Stuffed cheeks LOL

Doesn't she look adorable as a mini shopper? Bag in hand and strut to go with it :)

Apparently, this is a comfy place to read... 

Pillow on one stool and body on the other two LOL

Tris is my bookworm... 

I sometimes secretly get jealous that she gets more time to read than me ;)

Taught Tris about cross stitching.  She seems to be a natural at anything crafty

Poor Taigyn... she's my rashy child... 

This rash broke out all over her hands and up her arms... it was weird.  

It came on a few days after starting school and luckily left a few days later
