That's It! We're Done!

So to get totally convoluted here... I'm talking about Homeschool.  On this blog.  We're done school... for now.   The Homeschool blog will get a proper, more-informationy update soon.  No, really.  It will.  Because I'm transferring all of my phone pics now.  And that always makes it easier.

Sitting down in front of a computer has really just not been my thing, hence the gap in posts.  Also, Shelby doesn't allow me much time, since she can tear apart the office in 30 seconds flat by going after the envelope drawer and pulling wires out from everywhere.

The weather has been great.  Meaning we get outside and DO things.

Like this

And this.  It's just dirt.  But, you know.

And just hangin' around.

Shelby is a toddler who can stand up to get dressed and put her own little arms in the armholes on her shirts and fetch me a diaper when asked and do other listening-type stuff.  Which means my head is starting to pop up and finally bob above water, which means we are once again becoming functional in society.

Yeh, she's cute

And trouble

Big trouble

But cute

And adorable

The gardens are planted and fenced and GROWING.  Which is considerably different than last year, when we had lots of IDEAS.

I have zero pics of those yet!

The actual Farmhouse that this blog is named after is starting to look damn good because my husband is awesomely fantastic.

Right?!?

We are at T-Ball.

Wait!  T-Ball is over.... 

And school is DONE.

Portfolios and summaries are DONE

So we took a picture to remember it by

But we still have educational play

And someone still asks to spell, like, a million words a day

Some new play items conveniently double as Occupational Therapy.. since we have several weeks off during summer

 

We had our "Absurd Awards" ceremony with our Homeschool Group.  Since public schools whittle away their end days by awarding for all sorts of nonsense, so did we! 

Look!  A rare picture of Chase!!  

Yeah, we'll start back up sometime after July 1.  After it gets so hot we'd rather be inside.

 And after we've had some time to just chillax.

 And after we've friended a bunch and gone on hikes and splashed in creeks and hit some faraway cool playgrounds.

Tiny Creeker

 But just a little.  Just enough to keep our brains turned on.  Not too much.  'Cuz some people are big ole' high schoolers now with a pretty intense course load and some Credits a-comin'.

I'll give you a hint... it's this guy....

So I just dropped in to say "Hi."


"Hi!"

The real Homeschool recap is coming soon... as soon as I sort those pictures.  Stop by The Homeschooled Goobers blog soon for that.

A Very Good, Well-Written Sensory-Related Link

This blogger really hits it on the head....

And, for the record, since I am still not burdened by most social media including Fakebook, I wasn't even aware that pinheads all over the place had time to take to the interweb to complain outwardly about fidgets in the classroom.  But apparently, some have.


A regular update post coming soon.

Till next time,

Your toe-tapping, leg-wiggling, pen-chewing, doodling, cover-your-hands-in-glue-and-then-rub-it-off, daydreaming blog author, who just happened to get fantastic grades despite all that fidgeting, or perhaps, because of it...

Homeschool Blog update!

It's either one or the other, I ain't got time for both!
