The Love of Learning...

How I looooove going to the library!!! How I love it even more when I take 4 children with me! Haha, I have one child who only wants to find informational books with pictures. I have one child who loves gross and disqusting horror books, with pictures if possible. (I don't know where he got it from or why, so please don't ask! lol) My lovely daughter loves any and all books, especially if they're long! She makes me so proud! :) Then, last but not least, my youngest loves any book he can sink his teeth into! Haha, Christian was just happy to be able to walk around checking everything out! It was especially cute when he yelled at Nana to get her attention from across the room, just so he could wave at her! Finally, after about an hour, everyone (including myself) found the books they were happy with! We have started our summer ritual of reading every day for atleast 45 minutes to an hour. Looks like we'll be going to the library atleast once a week! :)

Summer is officially here!

I love summer! Especially with my four babies! Damien, Krista and Triston are mad at me for getting Christian a swimming pool (that cost $5) and not getting them one. I had to explain to them that I spent $80 last summer on a pool for them, and it got ruined. Ok, maybe THEY aren't the ones that ruined it, but still. We have a sprinkler system in the front yard that will do for now. :) Besides, I hope to be doing a lot of things with them during the summer, that requires us to be away from home most of the time! We looooove the outdoors! In a few weeks, I plan to take them to Colorado Bend State Park again, to do some hiking, camping, fishing, swimming, and touring of caves and waterfalls! I have a feeling this will be the best summer that we've had in a loooong time! I'm so excited!

I am also in the process of figuring out how to homeschool my children next year. I did some research last night on the materials that I will need for 3 children..... one word comes to mind: EXPENSIVE! Woah! I sure hope there is another way to get the materials that I need, other than buying them online brand new!!! Surely, I can get most of this stuff used, in good condition for a lot less money! I really really really don't want to send my babies to this ghettttttto school next year! I hate that I have to move them out of their old school! We all really love that school! :( But that's life! Things change and we all have to learn to adapt!

It's been a looong day, so I am off here for now! Good night!
