Homeschool Highlights Link Up!

This week we had another busy week, but I am actually posting this on time! Yay for me!

We did our cottage school Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. It's a lot of fun, but it's also exhausting! I do like having a dedicated place to do our work, and my mom or my mother in law comes and watches Zeke in the back room (which we have set up like a playroom). It's nice to do school without so many (sweet) interruptions a few days a week. 

Thursday and Friday we do school at home, just language arts, math, and handwriting for the boys. Mercie has every subject to do those days. 

We also started using Rooted Childhood for our "Morning Time". That's in quotes because it's not usually in the morning, except on Thursdays and Fridays. We made autumn wreaths this week and read some fun fall poetry. We are going to make Zeke some spiced play-dough this afternoon or tomorrow. I love Rooted Childhood because there is literally something for everyone in it! We can do simple things like making animal felt masks for Zeke to embroidery with the older kids, from simple songs to poetry, and lots of fun seasonal stories.

Mercie had an orthodontist appointment Wednesday afternoon. We live in the boonies, so we have to drive nearly an hour to her orthodontist (an an hour and a half to Mikaela's OB/GYN and hospital). The girls and I took Zeke and the boys stayed at my mother in laws. We stopped and ate Huddle House for lunch (Zeke loves waffles!) and ran into the dollar tree for some fall flowers and leaves for our autumn wreaths. I actually picked up the wreath forms there, too!

Mikaela and I teach at TeamKID at our church on Wednesdays (I'm actually the director, as well), so we rushed home through flooded roads and pouring rain to grab our lesson books and supplies and rushed back to church. 

Zeke had several fun Tot Trays this week! Here are a few:

We also took pictures (before all of the rain!) on our driveway. We really have a beautiful place where we live.

The boys and Mercie got haircuts today - Rod's aunt makes house calls for us! Mikaela has a doctor's appointment and ultrasound next Friday. We are super excited to get another glimpse at Daniel! 

How was your week?
