A Good Day Was Had By All

We can't believe how fast this week is flying by and all are looking forward to seeing Daddy this weekend. We had such a good day today. The morning was filled with all things school. Both Isaac and Isabelle worked diligently and joyfully. Such a blessing! After rest time we did a little of this and that...

Cheese anyone?!

Isaac was very intent on creating something out of a discarded box.

The box ended up turning into a house for the Seiler ZhuZhu pets.

It is a work in progress. :)

Kate was enamored with flower picking this evening during soccer practice.

Isabelle enjoyed picking flowers as well.

It was so hot, but the boys didn't even seem to notice. It has been so much fun to watch them learn the fundamentals and improve each week. Isaac was fierce (in a good way :)) tonight and ran hard the whole practice. So proud of his determination.

Nothing like a surprise ice cream trip to cool off after practice.

Great way to end a great day! We missed you much Daddy, but know we will see you soon.

Tuesday Happenings

Today we were at home for the whole day as we typically are on Tuesday. We didn't get to literature today, so will read an extra couple of chapters in Charlotte's Web tomorrow. We read about trees and plants during our reading time in preparation for our co-op and hike on Friday. All in all, a good day. We are enjoying and adjusting to our new curriculum. The weather was sunny and warm. Hope you had a great day Daddy!! We loved talking to you right before bed tonight.

Not sure that Isaac is loving his math this morning. :) Today was multiplying by nine and it was smooth sailing once he got rolling.

First grammar test in our new english curriculum. Synonyms and antonyms as well as proper use of a and an were on the docket.

Isabelle attempting a reproduction. :)

It is always fun to play in the water while everyone else is doing school. Thankfully she also thinks it is fun to clean it up.

The kids headed out to grab their bikes and scooters while I made lunch. It was beautiful and hot today!

Lunch outside!!

The two little chipmunks kept us quite entertained while we ate.

Kate developed a new love for taco dip this afternoon. I was eating some leftovers and she decided to share.

Goodnight Daddy

This week we will be doing a series of posts to let Daddy have a bit of a glimpse into our days while he is away. We hope the rest of you enjoy them as well. :) Here is a big goodnight from your kiddos Daddy! They love you and miss you already. Hope you have a great night!

Spring Soccer

We took the month of April off of school and it seems that lack of schedule has found me here and realizing that it has been almost a MONTH since I last added a post. Enjoy some pictures from the first few Spring Soccer events. It started out cold, but this past Saturday was absolutely beautiful! Looking forward to watching them again tonight. This is the last year of fun and instruction combined. They don't play traditional games, but rather spend their time twice a week refining their skills, learning new skills and scrimmaging within their own team. So fun to watch!!

Isaac's coaches this year are a husband/wife team and are great with the boys.

These types of pictures remind me of what I love most about young kids and sports. Quite often their focus isn't exactly on the game. :)

She can't wait for the fall season. You have to be 5 to play, so Spring season wasn't an option. She keeps herself occupied "practicing" on the sidelines.

Hoping we can shed the winter coats for good soon!

When kicking the soccer ball wore her out, she found some beautiful flowers to pick.

Kate loves following her Daddy around. Maybe she will even share her goldfish.

Isaac says that playing goalie is definitely his favorite position.

Fierce. :)

The girl pictured here is from the British Challengers. A group of the Challengers is helping out during practices and games and working alongside of the coaches to help with all of those skills. They are quite the celebrities as far as the kids are concerned. I think they just like her accent.

Sometimes, you gotta sacrifice your body for the good of the team. :)

It wouldn't be a sport without a cheerleader on the side, now would it?!?!
