So Cliché……….

We started back to our HomeSchool Co-op today.

The kids were soooo excited.

We had PE at a local park where they did a “physical fitness test ” type activity…..running laps and then  pull ups.

Then the kids just had a FREE FOR ALL and played for about 30 minutes.

Fun, Fun, Fun!!!!!

The kids were STOKED to see all their friends again.

Its such a great MIX of people….

All coming together because we have ONE CENTRAL THING in common.

Homeschooling.

Every time we get together(every Friday) I can’t help but think of what a BLESSING it is to have a group of people who can all COME TOGETHER for the purpose of fun and fellowship.

Even if we are all TOTALLY different in other ways.

We can all learn from each other.

And as HOMESCHOOLERS….we NEED that.

Anyway…..

After PE we headed over to the church to have our classes.

Zeek is taking a SURVIVAL CLASS.

AWESOME!!!

Here is a pic of the list that he brought to me after class:

FLIPPIN’ AWESOME!!!!!

Along with this list he also told me that he HAD TO HAVE a pocket knife that locks because he HAS TO whittle a spear before class next Friday.

LOVE IT!!!!!

And then there was Shashas class.

She is taking EMBROIDERY.

PERFECT!!!!!

Today she learned how to do a RUNNING STITCH.

HERE is her 1st attempt:

I LOVE the fact that Mrs.. Jill had them use the gingham fabric so that they could measure the stitches…GENIOUS!!!!!

And here is her attempt at a straight stitch with NO GINGHAM!!!!!

Pretty Good for a 7 year old!!!!

This goes along PERFECT with her 4H sewing we are doing.

Last weekend we were given a SEWING MACHINE by Jays Mom.

It was his Grandmothers…so sweet.

Shasha was BEGGING for 2 days to open it up and see if it worked.

And when we DID she was one HAPPY GIRL!

Soooo SURVIVAL CLASS and EMBROIDERY….

We are soooo CLICHE’!!!!!

BUT

Its GREAT to be a HOMESCHOOLER!!!!!
