Thankful Thursday

What are you thankful for today? My Square foot garden- it's much bigger now and covered in yellow pear and cherry tomatoes but it's too hot here to walk down and take a new picture.

Homemade pizza

Fun shoes

Wordless Wednesday

Thrifty Weekend

This weekend I decided to paint the chairs my sister gave me a couple of summers ago. I had hoped to buy some new patio furniture this summer but it is just not in the cards. So what to do with these old things?

A little bit of paint and I have new furniture!!! It's a little brighter than I envisioned but they are growing on me. I am thinking about making some cushions for them.

The start of my Workbox journey!

I have started collecting my supplies for our summer workboxes! I have a laminator and it is so much fun! I know that I am easily amused! Pictured below are our schedule strips, keyboard chart and other cards.

Here are some goodies I picked up at Dollar Tree. Sticky notes, Library Pockets, erasers, and word strips.

Here is my shelving unit for R. I only have 6 boxes. I will gather more as the summer goes along.

I hope this keeps me on track this year!

Tadpoles!

We are having so much fun doing a mini unit on frogs. R and I are working on a lapbook I bought here. http://heartsandtrees.blogspot.com/ I have bought several of her kits and found them to be lots of fun, filled with good information!

We are having so much fun with the frogs that I could not pass up the chance to raise tadpoles when I found a batch of eggs in my koi pond. I can't wait to see how many frogs we have!

Maybe I will find a french cookbook and try our the legs!!! (Just teasing! I have a feeling R will name them and every one knows you can't eat something with a name!)
