VEGETABLEmania

Beautiful things are getting ripe in our garden!
Purple Carrots! Round Carrots. White and Yellow Carrots!
Striped Cucumbers. Giant Red Potatoes!
Beets! Beans! Tomatoes! Peppers!
It's a veggie picking party every day. The kids love to harvest.
(except for the spiders...) (and the webs...) (I attempt to be brave.)
And I can't get enough pictures of chubby hands washing dirty veggies.
or chunky babies teething on purple carrots.
It's picture overload.

Homeschool

School has started at the Dreewes House.

We have decided to homeschool again this year.

Mr. Big E is in First Grade!

Little Miss E is doing PreSchool and a few Kindergarten Workbooks.

Baby E is learning to crawl, babble and perfecting his grabbing skills.

I think he can say “hi”.

Swimming Lessons and our Co-op Classes begin next week.

Although this is my third year formally educating my children . . .

I still don't feel like an expert. Some days are difficult, and some days are amazing.

I try to dwell about the good times because they are so sweet.

More secrets to come.

Like my cunning use of post-its.

And my beautiful organized shelves of curriculum.

Past the Five Month Mark

Teaching Baby E to Crawl.

So far he can roll, wiggle, sit up for a little while and scoot backwards.

He is FASCINATED with cups, straws, spoons and all parts of the eating game.

We plan start to solid foods in a few weeks and I have no doubt that he is READY!

He saves his biggest smiles for brother and sister.

I can't imagine a better little guy for our family,

he's a dreamboat!

caramel apple,

lost tooth number 4,

Big E !

So how fun is a four month old boy?

Um... pretty fun!

He's teething big time. Anything he sees goes in his drooly little mouth to be chomped...

And now he can roll over, but ONLY if he's mad and wiggly.

PART FIVE

I have dreams of a slideshow of pictures here.

But for now

One picture

Fun on the Fourth was -

Shopping for Fireworks at Boom City, the Indian Reservation.

Hot Weather.

BBQ with Family.

And trying some new tricky photography of the Fireworks!

PART FOUR

Miss E gave herself a hair cut. . .

"It was in my eyes."

It's a typical part of childhood. I guess.

It's also scary to find piles of hair through the house...

It was really long . .

and I miss it sometimes.

But new shorter hair has less tangles.

AND THAT ROCKS!
