Life in Color

I realized I haven't posted many photos of regular life lately. I guess that's because I've been too busy living it! {grin} But I was in the mood to snap a few today while we were working on lessons. I adore the photo above. It perfectly captures life right now. A blur of motion. The boys were marching around Lola while saying their memory work. She is so entertained by them, and their favorite activity is to entertain her.

We do most of our lessons in the living room now. (When you live in a little house, there aren't many options...) The boys curl up and read or watch videos. We sit on the couch together to do our language arts books. We have two white boards which we use for spelling (the magnetic letter tiles) and grammar while the boys sit at the little white table. Our writing program is now on DVD, so Levi also works on that while sitting at the little table. I play all our memory work CDs while we review. Every surface is covered with books, every inch of space used. The school room is used mostly for storage and computers (on which the boys do their math and I blog).

This is Levi's little wooden dagger. It goes perfectly with his wooden bow. I love his creativity.

Since Lola isn't sleeping much lately (sigh) she spends most of her time hanging out with us. This exersaucer is so darn ugly, but it has saved my sanity with all four children.

And I felt like taking a few pictures of 'pretties.'

I should have taken a close-up photo of the cool wreath my fabulously creative sister made for me with pages out of books. Next time.
