My girl is growing up!

You can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl! She has been helping daddy prepare “dinner” and has been hauling pond rocks for two days in order to help me with another backyard project. For those faint of heart or with weak stomachs, don’t read any further… She also put her finger in the remaining rooster heads and put on little puppet show for us! I can’t believe she is almost 6! Love her!

Backyard projects with the girls

The girls and I have had a busy morning. Moved crushed limestone, set stepping stones, trimmed crepe myrtle, moved swing back, and added a small potted blueberry plant. The girls were very instrumental in creating this beautiful sitting area with a view of our chickens and the pool… And Kbug took a long enough nap to allow us to get it all done. Now, time to relax, swim, and eat Mahi Mahi… While thinking about the completion of the next project 🙂.

Time with my girls

Lots of mommy/ daughter time spent with these two lately, and I wouldn’t trade it for a second. Another thing I wouldn’t trade is having their little brother fall asleep in my arms. Good to be home!13522992_10206500042043700_4242585948594542222_o

Big changes to come for the Kings

Homeschooling the last few years has been a blessing for my family. But, in August, we will be starting a new chapter…Many things will be missed about homeschooling next school year, but so excited that my girls will be part of something great, and it is basically right in our backyard. My girls will be attending a charter school for dyslexic students. In fact,  Kbug will be going to daycare for the first time, and I will be going to teach 4th grade at the same school that the girls will be attending.  Prayers are not only needed but appreciated.

The 24 hour shifts are hard for all of us, but when Daddy gets home, we all fight over being in those arms.  This time, Kbug won!

Working and homeschooling?

Homeschooling at work this week! Girls are both working on some multi-sensory reading activities which are individualized to where they are and who they are! Blessed to have them with me this week as I fill in in the office… thankful for my boss for asking me to sit in this week and offering for me to bring the kids along, and for the in laws for watching the bug!

To be at home…

There have been so many activities around Baton Rouge, and the weather has been beautiful… But it is hard to not just enjoy the kids and the backyard! Today we planted some herbs, began to clean up the yard, played in the tree house, swam, and just enjoyed being home!
